This is the point where the films start living in "so bad it's good" land, but at least it's funny.

B-

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.

One of my favorite films of all time along with it being one of my favorite Godzilla films of the Showa Era (1954-1975). Yes its cheesy,exploitive, and has more stock footage than an old 50s B-movie, yet at the same time it celebrates its Z-Grade goodness with pride and what's wrong with that? Still a fun romp of a kaiju film indeed. And also features one of the most infamous attacks by Godzilla since Godzilla vs the Smog Monster. Its a film that needs to be seen to be believed. Go in and lose your mind with this campy fun.

Godzilla vs. Megalon (1972) is a chaotic, kitschy entry in the franchise, born from a contest that created Jet Jaguar, the robot hero who dominates most of the film while Godzilla appears only briefly. Produced in just six months with heavy use of stock footage and improvised scripts, the movie abandons any adult appeal for cartoonish, child-focused action, featuring absurd elements like a size-changing robot. Despite its flaws, some costumes look decent, and the final battle is surprisingly well-shot, making it a quintessentially fun yet silly example of 1970s Godzilla.

Is it really stupid? Yeah. But it’s it also really fun to watch for just how stupid it is? Also yes! The effects, music, and acting in this film are laughable bad, but it makes up for it with some of the dumbest scenes in Godzilla history. A must watch- if only if your drunk with friends.

Godzilla VS. Megalon Is A Pretty Good Movie. It Is Worthy To Its Predassecor. I Have A Few Problems With The Film Though.
