 "Dubzilla Vs MechaGodzilla"This flick was second on our list of 'must have' 'Zillas. All we had read about it was nigh true. The monster action is very well staged and the opening credits with the views of Mecha G being given the once over by a tech team are just ace. It sets the scene for essentially 90+ minutes of top Kaiju action. Once again Megumi Odaka (psychic Miki Segusa) does her daffy best to stand by Big G but gets all confused when the going gets tough and boy does it! Plot (such as it is, gets unceremoneously dumped and so do most of the character developments-who needs 'em). The new Mecha G is a superb design, coming on like a souped up overweight Macross vehicle. Rodan is v.nice too, now only a huge puppet and not some poor soul in 250 pounds of rubber. As for Godzilla, the new Rado-Goji suit is ace. Kenpachiro Satsuma (what a name!) slams it around good style as the Big G and gives it all in the name of Toho. The plot is trim and moves at a nippy pace to a barnstormin' conclusion. We personally like the 'light show' style of the laser beam riddled battles of the Heisei series G films and G vs Mecha G delivers the goods in spades! The sfx are well up to standard ( not like the dire 'shoe string' Space Godzilla) and a realistic miniature Tokyo once again gets it in the teeth. Alas (you knew there was one didn't you), the dubbing is quite spectacular in its ineptness. Its poorly (even by G film standards) synced and totally misleads the viewer in some scenes. This may be just a niggle but we like our plots to make some sense. Regardless, this film just barrels along and so will you. So set 'em up and knock 'em down! Go buy and enjoy!  "The Best movie of the Heisei series"This movie is one of Godzilla's best. I really like how TOHO re-designed Rodan, Baby Godzilla and MechaGodzilla, Rodan is given a more dragon look and can now blast a heat beam from his mouth like Godzilla. Mechagodzilla is given a smoother, sleeker look and has more powerful weapons than before. Baby Godzilla is given a more dinosaur look and isn't as cute as before. Godzilla as always looks great, his head now displays more life like expressions than in any of the movies before this. The theme music is great it really gets you into the movie.The battles keep you at the edge of your seat, and the special effects are great. This movie is fun for the whole family, I would recommend this movie to any Godzilla fan, Sci-Fi fan, or anyone who wants to see a fun monster movie. "Evan's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2 review"In the beginning people plan to make a wepon to kill Godzilla. So they made a robot Godzilla to defeat him. They named it Mechagodzilla. Explorers go to Adnoa Island and get an egg. They think it is a Pteranodon, but it is really Baby Godzilla. Then Godzilla destroys a city. Godzilla fights Mechagodzilla and Godzilla wins. Godzilla destroys Kyoto. Later Radon (Fire rodan) fights Mechagodzilla. Then Godzilla comes and fights him.Godzzzzilla is killed but regenerated by Radon. Godzilla destroys Mechagodzilla and takes Baby Godzilla home. "BBBBOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!!!"Like Godzilla? Like the new Godzillas? Hate the American? Here's the answer to all your problems: GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA II. While many people said it was the best, I disagree. It's the third best (after the orginal and DESTROY ALL MONSTERS). And please take note I've seen all the Godzilla movies, foreign and domestic. "The Best movie of the Heisei series"This movie is one of Godzilla's best.
