Ilyas Z @Zellai Dec 1 This Movie Should Have Been Called: The Terror Of The TITANOSAURUS. The Sequel Of The 1974 Blockbuster Film Is Unexpected And Not Nessecary. I Mean, Godzilla Already Killed Mechagodzilla. See more Kenny A. @nerdsman567 Nov 6 This movie should’ve been called “Titanosaurus (Guest Starring Godzilla and Mechagodzilla).” Seriously, 90% of this movie revolves around Titanosaurus! Godzilla and Mechagodzilla BARELY factor into the plot and don’t even do anything until the last 20 minutes of the movie! It’s no wonder why this movie flopped at the box office, hence, abruptly ending the Showa Series of Godzilla movies! This movie is a mess! The original “Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)” was very cheesy and had its own flaws, but at least that movie had slightly better pacing (Keyword being “slightly”) and had WAY more memorable moments (Especially its action scenes) that made it stand out from the other Showa Godzilla movies, unlike this one, which just haphazardly recycles overused ideas from the previous movies.

Human characters are underdeveloped and confusing, but the focus remains on the monsters, delivering spectacular battles, impressive effects, and a more serious tone than earlier films. Despite minor narrative flaws, the movie provides a satisfying finale to this era of Godzilla, cementing the franchise’s legacy before its nine-year hiatus.

It has everything you want, a new monster, lots of city smashing, crazy/silly looking aliens, giant monsters fighting etc. The music isn’t too crazy but you really can’t take the film seriously if you want to enjoy it. This is my favourite Godzilla movie along with Destroy All Monsters (1968) which I prefer a tiny bit more. As this is the last of the Shōwa era I’ll add my conclusions of the era - much as they have evolved over 21 years, the format actually feels like a slow evolution and there are so many familiar elements across them all. It is basically people in rubber suits smashing models and fighting awkwardly. They kaiju are shot mostly the same as the real people but with some slow motion to convey scale, occasionally they shoot from a low angle or use various special effects to impose real people. Sometimes the army is involved, sometimes mentioned, often shots are reused across the films. The real people stories are usually science-fiction based and often pretty goofy. Ultimately it is an era of lots of average but entertaining films with a handful of gems and occasional disasters.

I also like how it has a slowbuild up to the kaiju action, instead of it being right in our face at the get go. See more Read all reviews
