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

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.

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.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

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.
