Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

kevinxirau Toho was on a role bringing back some of their famous monsters to costar with Godzilla throughout the 90s. First King Ghidorah, then Mothra, and now not one but three classic characters: Baby Godzilla, Rodan, and, of course, Mechagodzilla. What results is a full on monster war! Plot: By reverse-engineering futuristic technology from the remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah, the Japanese government creates what they believe is the ultimate anti-Godzilla weapon: Mechagodzilla! Meanwhile, scientists recover an egg from a Pteranodon nest only for the egg to hatch later and out comes Baby Godzilla, who sees one of the scientists as its mother. With this baby hatched, both Godzilla and Rodan are out to retrieve it as their own and Mechagodzilla is sent in to take them both out. Will Godzilla/Rodan succeed in their mission or will Baby Godzilla end up being orphaned? The dilemma of this entire situation makes for a great story as loyalties and logics are pitted against each other between man and monster alike. It causes the viewer to choose sides and that makes this movie even more great. The action scenes are awesome as these monsters really beat the living crap out of each other and the surrounding environment gets torn apart by their very might. The suit designs and puppets are pretty good, particularly Baby Godzilla who's able to express certain emotions. The music is absolutely impressive, which complements how intense the action is and how emotional some of the interactions between characters is. Human characters are at least likable, from the scientists to Miki Saegusa, the psychic who empathizes Godzilla and his son.My only complaint seems to be Mechagodzilla being a little too powerful like in his first movie. Other than that, this is one of the best and most iconic entries in the Godzilla series. It has everything you'd expect in a film like this: great action, wonderful music, character development, and, of course, lots of explosions. Definitely recommended that you check this flick out. All hail the King of the Monsters!

FilmExpertWannabe The saving grace for this movie is the action-packed nature of it. There's plenty of beautiful beams, but unlike much of the Heiseis there's some nice close combat scenes as well. The other golden nugget is how Godzilla is really given a run for his money this time around. Unlike the last film, it is generally agreed upon that Toho knew they wanted a Mechagodzilla movie for their 1993 G flick. True to its action-packed form, there are plenty of monsters in the movie.Godzilla maintains his good looks yet again, but now he's got a baby. I have a couple of reservations about the baby, but I'll discuss that later. Rodan makes a comeback for this movie, and he looks pretty good. Unfortunately, he seems a little stiff at times and his movements can look forced, as if they aren't animalistic (obviously they aren't). The region one dub refers to him as Radon rather than Rodan, which is the proper way to pronounce it. As a die-hard Godzilla guy though, I somewhat bemoan them feeling the need to infuse energy powers into anything and everything within the Heisei universe, so I'm not a Fire Rodan fan. It's probably impossible to infuse another Mechagodzilla with the character of the 1974-1975 original, but this Mechagodzilla looks good overall, just devoid of personality. Maybe that's not such a bad thing being a cold mech without a soul. While not a "monster" by any stretch, Garuda is Japan's anti-G aircraft that was replaced by Mechagodzilla but is still used effectively here (we never actually saw Garuda perform outside of this film anyway).As before, we don't have a bad basic plot, but it is soured by lame acting and bland characters. The Garuda pilot is supposed to be nerdy-funny and nerdy-funny in his displays of affection towards another character, but it just comes off as dull, almost annoying. Although this film isn't geared towards younger crowds, it's probably best enjoyed when you're younger and care less about plots, acting, characters, etc. It's not a bad film in any way (unless you don't care about monsters, which would make this a mind numbing experience for you), and its high adrenaline monster action theme is pleasing. At least it was an improvement over the last two films, if nothing else (lack of pacing issues makes this one so much better).As an aside, one of the qualms I have with the movie is Baby Godzilla. Why is he only the size of a grown man? In the previous film, the Mothra larvae was gigantic. A newly born Godzilla ought to be at least as large as a newly born Mothra larvae, right? Even when Godzilla walks up to Baby Godzilla at the end of the movie, it looks way too small. For comparison, it seems like a human giving birth to a six inch infant. While we're on the subject, what the heck is a Godzillasaur? They claim it's of the same "species" as Godzilla, but that it's a less aggressive herbivore. We have no history of a Godzillasaur and no explanation there after. Plot hole. Plus, the name might draw a false relationship to Godzilla's original form, the 1944 Godzillasaurus.This film would probably only get like a 4.5/10 from me, but the monster action saves the day somewhat, so 6/10 it is.

gigan-92 One of the greatest G-films I've ever seen. "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla (II)" is definitely my second favorite of the Heisei era for a number of reasons. First off, the story line was incredibly done. I guess you could say it's fresh, but it does have elements from "Son of Godzilla", which I enjoyed. The human characters are well done and keep our interest throughout, delivering emotion and even appreciated bits of comedy. I also like how the story included Mecha-King Ghidorah, showing us there is still continuity here. It helped make MechaGodzilla more believable, where as that plant music has me dumbfounded, but I guess it has something to do with sonic waves, so it's logical to me.The SFX were even better than the last films, even placing people next to MechaG in his docking bay. And the many fights, let me tell you, are extraordinary. Godzilla and Rodan's fight on Adona Island was the best in my opinion, even incorporating fight moves from older films into the mix. It didn't hold back either, with plenty of strangling and fierce body blows. Rodan looked great in this movie, looking more pterodactylish ( is that a word?), and I love his sonic boom attack.MechaG looked great, and the mechanical monster delivering so many attacks it blew me away. Another thing I like is MechaG's confrontation with Rodan, which was a brutal fight not to miss. Garuda was a nice addition to the Japanese military, SuperMechaGodzilla looking impressive. Baby Godzilla actually looked except able, compared to Minilla, who looked OK ( a pushing it okay). Baby G just isn't here to look cute and I love his somber theme by Ifukbe. Godzilla is no doubt the star and he probably gets the most screen time than in any other Heisei film. Not to mention he looks incredible and I love his entrance at the beginning. I also like the how Rodan saves Godzilla from MechaG. It really gave the monster a personality of sorts and I enjoyed that. As far as the music, Akira Ifukbe delivers a masterful score, giving Rodan's terror theme and giving MechaG a new theme. Both sounded great, as well as the revamped JSDF march.With a great story, incredible monsters and bad ass fights, with nice human characters as well, this G-film is one of my all-time favorites. If you haven't seen it, you better!!

winner55 This film proves what I suspected all along - Godzilla is a female.As the movie opens, Godzilla and her recently divorced mate Rodan are engaged in a rather ugly custody battle over the unhatched egg of their daughter, Baby. This fight is one of the most fun in the later Godzilla series, a real throw-back to the classic wrasslin' matches as King Kong vs. Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Gigan.Anyway, a group of human scientists (from Japan, the center of the universe in Godzilla films) offer Baby a foster-home in Kyoto. Tired of the shouting and fisticuffs between her parents, she accepts.Godzilla knocks Rodan for a loop (not keeping up on his alimony, I suspect) and walks all over him (typical female); then, since she's not literate enough to write "Dear Abby", and not social enough to hire a lawyer (assuming one can call hiring a lawyer a "social" act), she wanders off the trailer-camp to search for her blood kin.Meanwhile some loopy scientists build a big rubber-"love"doll for Rodan, but worried he might get angry and start spitting fire at them, they coat it with metal and diamonds.However, when Rodan shows up, he's furious that the humans would try to foist this gaudy 'ho on him, and he's not at all happy with the foster home being made out of plastic model buildings, so he lights a doobie and smokes most of Kyoto with the fumes. Now we're really flying high! However, the Super-Godzilla "love"doll has some sex-toys rodan's never played with before, including a hunka plasma energy shot straight for the heart - Rodan looks down for the count, and Baby may just end up in a bawdy house, or, worse, a spinster in a convent. Who's gonna pay for her schoolin', after all? And who's gonna marry a red-eye reptile, for heaven's sake? Wait! - What's that big "thumpa thumpa thumpa" noise? Yes, it's Momma G., stompin' Tokyo - I mean, Kyoto - again; and she's mad! The gaudy "love"doll" drills Big G. with plasma-dildos up the rump, where she keeps her second brain (don't laugh! - everybody needs one), and it looks like Mecha-babe will rule! - but don't count out the old boyfriend yet! Yes, true love wins out: it's Rodan to the rescue - and I won't spill the rest of the sushi, but expect a very pretty mother-daughter reunion, while a choir of angels sings Japanese love songs in the background. What? Monster movie? You never been in a New York State divorce court, huh? The script is silly, the cast is in top form, the special effects are groovy - Rodan not only looks better in this film than he has in the old series, but better than his brief appearance in the later "Final Wars. The action is pretty snappy, and when it slows down, some comic relief is provided with both slapstick elements as well as real wit.Great fun for this genre.
