This is part 26 to the Japan Godzilla series. It is very good. Part 24 to the Japan Godzilla series Godzilla vs M.e.g.a.g.u.i.r.u.s is better. Part 25 to the Japan Godzilla series Godzilla M.o.t.h.r.a and King G.h.i.d.o.r.a.h giant monster all out attack is also better. Part 27 to the Japan Godzilla series is Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S is also better. But still it is a great movie. See it. It is scary. Part 28 to the Japan series Godzilla Final wars is better. The 16th Godzilla movie Godzilla 1985 or Return of Godzilla is also better. The 11th Godzilla movie Godzilla vs the smog monster is also better. The 8th Godzilla movie Son of Godzilla is also better. Still it is a great movie. See it.

Now this is definitely cool. At this time, Toho is once again reviving some of their classic creatures to costar with the King of the Monsters, this time the mechanical doppleganger Mechagodzilla. Like the other films of the Millennium series, this one is a direct sequel to the 1954 classic, but it also makes references to other classic Toho films. Get ready to crumble because this is Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla!Plot: Nearly fifty years after the attack on Tokyo back in 1954, a second Godzilla creature has risen from the depths to challenge mankind. Desperate, the government assembles the greatest minds of Japan to create a weapon to defeat the beast: the cyborg monster Mechagodzilla (also called Kiryu for some reason). Piloting the massive mech is Akane Yashiro, a fairly complicated woman struggling to find her place in the world. But when Mechagodzilla starts to have a few nasty glitches, can the government find a way to bring it under control? It all leads up to the thrilling building-smashing showdown between Godzilla and his mechanical double.This is a fine entry to the giant-sized series. The Godzilla suit is fantastic, one of the best ever and Godzilla himself is an awesome force of destruction. Mechagodzilla has an impressive design, a cool set of weaponry, and is actually given something of a personality. Most of the effects and miniatures are excellent and the action scenes are a true delight to watch.The human characters are actually pretty interesting, which is something one hardly gets in the Godzilla films. Akane is surprisingly complex and has lots of good emotional qualities. She's kind, sympathetic, tough, and level-headed, which makes her far more superior to the arrogant and vengeful female lead of "Godzilla vs Megaguirus." The other characters are good to like Dr. Yuhara and his daughter who befriend Akane. Dialog between the characters is fairly top-notch, hardly any exaggeration even in the English dubbing. I just wish that they'd stop calling Mechagodzilla "Kiryu." While this movie may leave you wishing for a little more, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla is a satisfying entry in the classic Toho film series. At least it has a sequel (Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S.) unlike the other Millennium films. Overall, not bad so check it out. All hail the King of the Monsters.

After the terrific, thrilling Godzilla Vs Megeguirus and the interesting but very muddled [and extremely over rated!]Godzilla,Mothra,King Ghidorah,Monster's All Out Attack,this latest version of Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla falls between the two.It's disappointing that Toho decided to remake this yet again only ten years after the last version,and there is indeed a distinct lack of originality in this one,which in some ways like an early 60s period Godzilla film with better special effects. However,director Masaaki Tezuka [who also directed Godzilla Vs Megagiurus],unlike Shuseke Kaneko,has respect for Godzilla and Godzilla fans and just sets out to create a fun,unpretentious Godzilla film,and there's nothing wrong with that.The plot is of little interest,but does bring back some of the themes [artificial life vs real life,for example] of the 1993 Godzilla Vs Mehagodzilla,small surprise as it has the same writer. Godzilla seems even more characterless and lethargic than usual for the Millenium series here,but the latest incarnation of Mechagodzilla looks by far the best. Tezuka provides some terrific shots and camera angles for the two monsters,especially in the great scene where an out of control Mechagodzilla goes on the rampage,and the final battle,lively,exciting and funny but not overly so, proves again he is the best director of monster battles since Inoshiro Honda. Toho almost appears to have sorted out their CGI,too,with some impressive effects both traditional and computerised. Amidst all this the human drama is quite touching even if,as is often the case,it's just filler inbetween the monster scenes.Fun,fast and furious,Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla is Godzilla done by the book,and that's just fine and dandy.

Yes, they do it again. Rather than make a series of movies that are interconnected they instead reinvent Godzilla yet again. This time though it is done much better than the previous three movies. This time a new Godzilla arrives to wreck Japan. The army sends out their monster killers, but their weapons are useless against this new Godzilla monster. This group was created after the first Godzilla attack in 1954 and was destroyed by the oxygen destroying device. This group apparently destroyed Mothra (though anyone who has seen that movie knows this was not the case) and some dumb looking monster I had never seen before. The new Godzilla however is to powerful. So they use the skeleton of the old Godzilla of 54 and make a MechaGodzilla weapon they call Kiyru. MechaGodzilla is my favorite of Godzilla's adversaries so I really enjoyed this movie. There are some good fights in this one, though I do wish Godzilla got in some more hits. Though there is this one cool scene where Godzilla kicks MechaGodzilla through a building. Also in this one you are supposed to be pulling for the robot, but I always find myself pulling for Godzilla to win. I will not tell you the end, but it did suggest a sequel and I do believe there is one. Which will be a nice change of pace rather than reinventing Godzilla yet another time.
