      Bob Chipman Escapist Magazine This is the point where the films start living in "so bad it's good" land, but at least it's funny. May 23, 2019 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com All business when it comes to delivering big action and colorful antagonists, working in a few environmental messages on the dangers of nuclear testing along the way, to anchor the nonsense to come. Rated: B- Sep 27, 2014 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy The worst Japanese-made Godzilla film. Rated: 3/10 Feb 1, 2014 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com For gigantic laughs only...and Godzilla fanatics. Rated: 2/5 Apr 8, 2008 Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat Dumb fun.

      Audience Member In the annals of cinematic history, amidst the towering titans and legendary leviathans, there exists a beacon of brilliance, a creature so profoundly profound that it eclipses the very essence of greatness. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Megalon – the pinnacle of perfection, the zenith of zoological zaniness, and without a shred of doubt, the greatest thing ever to grace our screens. In a world where Godzilla reigns supreme, it takes a special kind of creature to steal the spotlight. While some may argue that Godzilla embodies the epitome of kaiju excellence, those enlightened few among us recognize the undeniable truth: Godzilla can go cry about it, for Megalon is the true sovereign of the monster realm. Let us delve into the depths of Megalon's magnificence, shall we? First and foremost, Megalon’s aesthetic allure is unparalleled. With a design that defies conventional norms and transcends mere mortal comprehension, Megalon stands as a testament to the boundless creativity of the human imagination... or lack thereof. From its majestic mandibles to its resplendent rostrum, every aspect of Megalon’s appearance exudes an aura of awe-inspiring absurdity. Who needs anatomical accuracy when you have sheer audacity? Moreover, Megalon’s formidable combat prowess is the stuff of legend. While Godzilla may boast of brute strength and atomic breath, Megalon employs a more... shall we say, unconventional approach to battle. Who needs finesse when you can simply drill your adversaries into submission? Megalon’s signature drill hands are not only a marvel of engineering but also a symbol of innovation in the field of monster mayhem. Take that, physics! But perhaps, dear reader, what truly sets Megalon apart is its profound philosophical depth. While lesser monsters may be content with mindless destruction and territorial disputes, Megalon challenges the very fabric of our existence with its existential quandaries. Who are we, in the face of such cosmic chaos? What is the meaning of life, when confronted with the inevitable onslaught of a giant insectoid deity? These are the questions that Megalon poses, leaving audiences pondering long after the credits roll. In conclusion, while Godzilla may have his legion of loyal fans, and rightfully so, let us not forget the unsung hero of the monster universe – Megalon, the true paragon of peculiar perfection. So, the next time you find yourself pondering the greatest cinematic creature of all time, cast aside your preconceptions and embrace the undeniable truth: Megalon reigns supreme. All hail Megalon, the one true king of the monsters! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Mason H Its a Godzilla movie did you honestly expect it to be good? 10/10 best movie of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Rich A I like this one they rarely showed it watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Irelia I The funny part is, that i though it was going to be good Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Bill G Jet Jaguar joins Godzilla…need I say more! lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Matthew D The robot Jet Jaguar fights Megalon more than Godzilla. Director Jun Fukuda's kaiju sci-fi comedy Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) is not very funny or entertaining. We focus on the robot makers and their little brother, then the robot Jet Jaguar grows large to fight a giant cockroach named Megalon. Godzilla shows up to help and that's about it. One of the weakest Godzilla films from the old era. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
