Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 85 Average rating: 4.5 "Brought tears to my eyes..." This movie was absolutely excellent. It is undoubtedly the BEST of the newer Heisei series of Godzilla films. This video features awesome music by Akira Ifukube, Godzilla films' musical master (I especially liked Mechagodzilla's theme music), the return of both BabyGodzilla and Rodan (actually Radon), and of course a great new look for the Big G. Mechagodzilla definitely steals the show. He is a much better installation than the 70's version (ick) and literally whips ... until destroyed by Godzilla's more powerful heat beam. Rodan is awesome in the beginning and the battle between him and Godzilla is great too. BabyGodzilla is a million times better than the old one (Minya) and looks much more like Godzilla than he ever did. Godzilla's new suit is somewhat larger and the head is smaller. The eyes were also given a golden hue and the puppet of his head expresses true emotion. The acting is great also. Overall, great music and stunning special effects collide to produce an excellent daikaiju fighting movie that is considered by MANY, MANY fans to be the absolute best of the entire Godzilla series. "good story, dull film." i hate to say it but this is the only godzilla film i have seen that i do not like. why? the G man get's his ass kick then kicking and Mechagodzilla being a good guy does not work out well. if you wath a good G film then get the Godzilla VS. Mechagodzilla from 1974. "Cheesy, Poor overall." I like godzilla. This movie unfortunately is terrible. The acting is silly and childish, the dialogue is [bad] and the plot is as simple as ever. The special effects are still very old fashioned (will they ever learn?) with wires, monster suits and little models. Godzilla 2000 is better in the effects department and acting, however the storyline is still fairly poor. Overall: MEDIOCRE. "Mechagodzilla's Long Awaited Return!" Japan is in the state of terror, as long as Godzilla is still alive. They watch as the King Of Monsters attacks them. Fourtunetly, the goverment collected the remains of the machine from the future from the 1991 film, "Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah", Mecha-King Ghidorah. They then create, Mechagodzilla. Meanwhile scientists find an egg on an island, beleived to be in a terrandon's nest. Rodan arrives to collect the egg, but Godzilla also is on a quest to gather the egg. Narrowly escaping the destruction that the struggle of the two monsters cause, the egg hatches in Baby Godzilla. Godzilla and Rodan return to collect it, but Mechagodzilla gets into the way to attack. Now who will claim to be Baby Godzilla's mother [or father]? Will Mechagodzilla innhilate the two monsters and leave Baby Godzilla alone with mankind? "Godzilla vs Super-Mechagodzilla" the above is the REAL title for this fil (Godzilla vs. Super-Mechagodzilla), if Tristar would only realise it! Jeers Nothing. Rating out of 5 "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" is, I feel, the best film out of the new series. You can draw a lot of comparisons between this film and a film like "Godzilla vs. Mothra" 1964, in that their is a synergy of plot, direction, and effects which makes the sum much greater than the parts. Everything about this film just "fits" well. As it is this film is the only new Godzilla film which come close to matching the experience found in "Gamera:GOTU" or "Gamera vs. Legion". A stellar effort and a film most deserving of a cherished place in your video collection.
