Though it suffers from... trying to do too much in one film, it's still a fun film.

Rated: 7/10

Also known as “Godzilla vs. The Bionic Monster,” this is such a fun time! It’s obviously a more goofy entrance (most late Showa movies are.) So if you can get past the lightning powered Godzilla, the musical entrance of King Caesar, and the space gorillas, PLEASE watch this movie and get it more home releases.

Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla (1974) celebrates the franchise’s 20th anniversary by introducing the formidable MechaGodzilla, created by alien simians to conquer Earth. Godzilla teams up with King Caesar, a surprisingly agile kaiju, to counter this mechanical threat, while Anguirus makes his final appearance as Godzilla’s loyal ally. With a higher budget, original effects, spectacular destruction scenes, and a darker, bloodier tone, this episode revitalizes the series, showcasing inventive battles and marking a significant leap in quality after the uneven films of the early 1970s.
