Good story, Not enough for a whole film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Aliens create a giant mechanical version of Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, in an effort to destroy Japan. The mechanical creature nearly defeats Godzilla until our rubber- suited hero enlists the help of a fellow Kaiju, the dog-like King Seesar, to defeat the new bionic beast. With the exception of the original films, none of the Godzilla movies are all that serious, but this one seems downright gonzo when the aliens are revealed to be gorilla-like creatures, particularly during one shootout when one of the aliens has half of his human mask removed. What makes or breaks most Godzilla films are the subplots involving the human characters, which if they are boring (as is in most Godzilla films), the movies drag between monster battles, but when the human stories are interesting it makes the film work as a whole. "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" also features a fun jazzy score by Masaru Sato, who scores many films for Akira Kurosawa, and the movie contains plenty of bright colorful Kaiju battles. Overall, this is probably the best of the Godzilla films of the 1970s and is well worth watching for fans of our favorite Japanese monster.

The Godzilla movies just won't stop.While this one has plenty of stuff that doesn't make any sense, it's somehow not as bad as most of these movies.So people who have nothing to do with the movie find a cave and a woman immediately goes to inspect it.She sees cave drawings that say when the black mountain appears above the clouds a monster will attack.So guess what immediately happens?Of course the black mountain appears above the clouds.At first Mechagodzilla looks exactly like Godzilla but then without explanation or reason he transforms into a more traditional robot.He was built by alien monkeys who can also shape shift and have chosen to look like humans.When they get shot and live,they become half monkey but if they die they completely revert to monkey form and no one ever mentions that they are monkeys.Even with all the bad things, it's still above average for a Godzilla movie.This is definitely one of the films that people who aren't fans of the franchise might enjoy.

There was just no end to the Japanese GODZILLA series. Year after year the films were churned out, alien adversaries appearing, wreaking havoc, and then being killed time after time. Strangely enough, the films were never boring either, as all contained an immaculate sense of spectacle and fun which made them hugely enjoyable to watch. GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA is no different.Like the Hammer horror series, Toho decided to introduce more adult material as the '70s dawned on their GODZILLA films. Therefore, gore and nudity was added into the blend, and the opening scene where Anguilis has his jaw half ripped off is proof of this. When the monsters fight now, blood sprays everywhere in huge arterial fountains, something to see I'm sure you'll agree. Apart from the gore content, the rest of the material is much the same, with the heroes fighting off the alien adversaries, lots of shooting, and laser beams flying everywhere. This time around the aliens are monkeys in human form, and the scenes of them getting injured and reverting back to their original forms are done quite cleverly in the special effects department and looks very nice indeed.The actors are all typical of the series, and this time around my print had hilarious subtitles instead of hilarious dubbing (a man looks out of a plane window and shouts "A big black cloud!"). Strangely enough Godzilla is hardly in the film, with much of the plot being involved in the human intrigue. The invention of Mechagodzilla is very clever though and he looks impressive, complete with laser beam eyes and guns for his fingers. The other main monster in the film (apart from Anguilis, the whipping boy's guest appearance) is a shabby old guy called King Seeser, who strangely has reflectors for his eyes and huge, bat like ears. It's pretty funny to watch him run around and get knocked over repeatedly. GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA is typical of this series, not one of the best but not one of the worst either. In any case, it's solid entertainment for the initiated.

The best Godzilla movie is Godzilla (1998). Maybe you don't agree that o.k. But if you mad about that you deed to grow up pee pee heads. This is the 14th Godzilla movie. The 15th Godzilla movie Terror of M.e.c.h.a. Godzilla is better. The 16th Godzilla movie Return of Godzilla is better. The 17th Godzilla movie Godzilla vs B..i.o.l.l.a.n.t.e is also better. But this is still and could movie. It's very scary. See it. The 11th Godzilla movie Godzilla vs the smog monster is better. The 8th Godzilla movie Son of Godzilla is also better. The 1st Godzilla movie Godzilla King of the monsters is also better. But still a very good movie. See it.
