Summary: Godzilla + Rodan + Mechagodzilla = awesome!
Review: Great movie. A key movie in the 90's Godzilla seris. But why isn't it on DVD ?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: this is a Godzilla movie!!!
Review: I watched this movie at 3am on the Sci-Fi yesterday, and I am so glad I skipped out on sleeping! Having recently watched "Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah - Giant Monsters Attack," I almost lost faith in Godzilla. But this movie was fun and entertaining!

In this movie, the human scenes aren't boring, and they don't drag its feet around like the previously mentioned movie. The human scenes are actually fun - maybe not as campy as I like it, but it definitely works for me.

As for the monster scenes, they're great! In this movie, you feel like the monsters are the focus...and rightly so! There is tons of city-stomping in addition to the required monster-on-monster action.

Just to let you know, there are 3 fight scenes:
1) Godzilla vs. Radon
2) Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla
3) The Final Showdown consisting of:
- Mechagodzilla (with help of the aircraft, Garuda) vs. Radon
- Godzilla vs. Supermechagodzilla

[note: I'm not sure why they refer to Rodan as "Radon" in this movie]

[also note: Supermechagodzilla = Mechagodzilla combined with Garuda]

Overall, the scenes flowed well together. The pacing was great. And I was never once bored; whereas in "Giant Monsters Attack," I had to slap myself several times to keep myself awake.

That's right. Godzilla movies are meant to entertain you...not send you to sleep.

I only have 2 gripes with this movie:

1) the monster-on-monster action consists primarily of ranged attacks (e.g. heat beams, atomic breath, missiles, etc) and not very much of that WWE Smackdown variety that's so fun to watch. Nevertheless, the fight scenes are still enjoyable.

2) I didn't like the Godzilla costume for some reason. For one thing, he seemed too lengthy. Secondly, his snout reminded me of a dog's. In fact, his snout remdined me of that giant, white dog from "Neverending Story."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It could have been better
Review: Mechagodzilla would have been better if he was the villian and Godzilla was the hero. Rodan makes an appearance and so that is good. Rodan is too small in this one and it felt like it was the same as the previous movies. It is kind of boring and dull.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Movie For the whole family
Review: This is overall a great addition to the Heisei Era films. However, after seeing it recently it wasn't quite as good as I remembered it, and here's why: 1) It's probably the cheesiest of these "newer" flicks, but this may be due to the dubbing. I groaned at scenes that were supposed to be funny, and laughed when scenes were supposed to be sad. But this is just the part of me that is growing up, unfortunately. You can never go back, as they say. 2) I was actually kind of bored this time 'round. But like with the first reason, I didn't used to. Anyway, on to the pros: Akira Ifukube's music rocks, as always, and the MechaGodzilla theme is more powerful than the actual robot. The main reason I don't like this MechaGodzilla is that he doesn't really fight. He just stands there shooting things at Godzilla. And I found the design sort of bland. I also didn't like Rodan/Radon in this film, although his battles were pretty well done. On a good note, this movie lets the character of Miki Saegusa really shine, after being practically ignored in the last two films. Megumi Odaka give another outstanding performance, of course; she's my favorite character in the entire Godzilla series. Moving on, I liked Baby Godzilla, in that they retained the cute factor (from Minilla), yet didn't overdo it (like Minilla). I was surprisingly moved by the ending, with Godzilla swimming away with Baby. Speaking of which, the climax is spectacular, more than making up for what flaws the film had.

In conclusion, don't you dare call yourself a Godzilla fan without seeing GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA II. Even if you're not too partial to the Heisei series, this one is worth a watch.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: 3 1/2 stars
Review: This movie isn't the most action packed 'zilla. That's "Godzilla vs the destoyer" The coolest is 'space 'zilla'. The 'zilla with the best fight is Bollant or whatever. The one with the 'zilla plant. The most fun is 'monster zero'the dumbest by far is the first 'mecagodzilla' even-though 'zilla's revengeis close. The 'zilla with the best firebreath action is 'zilla 2000 .

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME Godzilla film
Review: This one ranks in the top 3 Godzilla movies. G is in most of it, he adopts a baby, Rodan joins in the fun. Nonstop action. Great job all around. A must have!

Rating: 4 stars
