Godzilla is by far my favorite movie monster, and to me, this is the best out of all of the films he has been in. For the 50th anniversary, Toho definitely went all out with this movie having nearly every monster Godzilla has fought. Though I did wish that there were a few other monsters such as Orga, Biollante, Space
Godzilla, or Mecha-Godzilla (which I was shocked he at least wasn't in it.) But I'm happy they included my favorite monster villain Gigan, since he hadn't been in a monster movie in over 40 years prior to this film. And we had probably the best fighting scenes ever in a monster movie, but its not just the monsters fighting, its also humans and aliens fighting as well, and each of the fights are all very well choreographed and done, and thats saying a lot for a movie where dudes dress up in rubber monster outfits that are boiling hot inside and they couldn't see out of them. Also the musical score for this film is fantastic, and it definitely suits the situations around them. Though the cg in this film, though very little, isn't all that impressive, it still does its job at telling a legitimate story, and the spaceships attacking the Otango ship is pretty cool to watch, and reminds me of something out of Star Wars.
