And the Showa era goes out with a whimper.

Terror of Mechagodzilla is pretty wonderful, and is only slightly lesser than its immediate predecessor.

Not Coming to a Theater Near You

While Terror of Mechagodzilla is not exactly a good film, it at least veers into slightly darker territory than some of the later Showa efforts.

With its incredible tatty special effects and outer-space dialogue, it runs like a lesser serial from the Forties.

Rated: 2/5

There's something about a man in a rubber suit that CGI can't match.

It's much more serious in tone compared to it's predecessor, with much more complex human characters and a tragic romance, and even themes of suicide. I also like how it has a slowbuild up to the kaiju action, instead of it being right in our face at the get go.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

lol I personally loved this movie, if you dislike any of the showa movies pls don't watch Godzilla anymore. That is the og Godzilla. Mechagodzilla was cool and the story was so bad it was good. But, it was never boring. That is what I am looking for in movies, I mean the so bad it was good part. What did you think I meant?!?

A direct sequel to Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla and not as good as it either. The plot continues with the aliens using MechaGodzilla but with the help of a scornful scientist and his daughter. Even though most of the movie is kind of the same way the franchise's last few movies were this one takes a lot more serious tone, still including scenes of Godzilla being the hero saving kids kind of negates a bit of that. But what made this really good is the human characters who are helping the aliens. The woman who is desperately trying to hold on to her humanity, all of which is happening internally yet clearly communicated to the audience. The tragic story of those people made this movie much better than it could've been.
