Overrated and overhyped

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

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Well, as with all Godzilla movies this is not storytelling on a thespian level. It is, in fact, equal to every other Godzilla movie; if you have seen one of these Japanese movies you have basically seen all.The story in "Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II" (aka "Gojira VS Mekagojira") is fairly generic and holds no surprises for the audience, and you can easily get into this movie even without having seen part one, although it is of course nice to have seen the first movie, as part two adds to it. But it is also a stand-alone movie in itself.The CGI effects in the movie were quite poor and fake, while the practical effects actually were quite good for a Godzilla movie.What makes "Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II" worth watching is the level of destruction there is throughout the entire movie.And there is even something for the young viewers in this movie, and that is the baby Godzilla. Personally I didn't find the baby Godzilla particularly necessary in the story, and it sort of brought a level of stupidity to the movie.But all in all an entertaining movie and fun to watch.

GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA II sees the Japanese kaiju franchise continuing on a strong footing, with plenty of elements designed to make this a fun instalment in the series. There's Godzilla, back and meaner than ever; Rodan makes a fitting appearance in the film and is the best thing in it; Baby Godzilla appears and overloads the cuteness factor; finally, in Mechagodzilla, we see a human-piloted machine worthy to rival those in PACIFIC RIM.The storyline is a complex one as ever, although it doesn't quite hang together the way some earlier films did. There's a bit of a moral quandary here over who has the moral high ground, as different parties seem to be good guys and villains at different times, although it all sorts itself out by the end. Needless to say that the production values are strong and the explosive special effects are excellent.The city-stomping mayhem is present and correct here, but it's the repeated use of lasers and death rays that make this so fun. The film, which came out shortly after JURASSIC PARK, also bears a greater similarity to that movie, with lots of talk about dinosaurs and "65 million years in the making". Even Godzilla is given a more dinosaur-like appearance here. Still, Rodan is my favourite part; even though the script gives him short shrift he makes an indelible appearance in this one.

The best Godzilla movie is Godzilla (1998). Maybe you don't agree. I don't care. And if you are mad about it you are just a frat head. This is the 20th Godzilla movie. It is also the 6th R.o.d.a.n movie. All the R.o.d.a.n movie are good. The 4th R.o.d.a.n movie is also the 9th Godzilla movie would Destroy all monsters. That on his better. Godzilla vs M.e.g.a.l.o.n would 13th Godzilla movie. It would also be the 5th R.o.d.a.n movie. That on is better. Godzilla final wars would be part 28 to Japan Godzilla series. It is also the 7th R.o.d.a.n movie. That one is better. But still this is a great movie. It has a great story line. See it. See all the R.o.d.a.n movies. Most of the Godzilla movie are pretty Godzilla cool to.

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!!
