Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II Trailers

The U.N.G.C.C. (United Nations Godzilla Countermeasure Center) recovers the remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah and construct Mechagodzilla as a countermeasure against Godzilla. Meanwhile, a giant egg is discovered along with a new monster called Rodan. The egg is soon found to be none other than an infant Godzillasaurus.

Well, as with all Godzilla movies this is not storytelling on a thespian level. It is, in fact, equal to every other Godzilla movie; if you have seen one of these Japanese movies you have basically seen all.The story in "Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II" (aka "Gojira VS Mekagojira") is fairly generic and holds no surprises for the audience, and you can easily get into this movie even without having seen part one, although it is of course nice to have seen the first movie, as part two adds to it. But it is also a stand-alone movie in itself.The CGI effects in the movie were quite poor and fake, while the practical effects actually were quite good for a Godzilla movie.What makes "Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II" worth watching is the level of destruction there is throughout the entire movie.And there is even something for the young viewers in this movie, and that is the baby Godzilla. Personally I didn't find the baby Godzilla particularly necessary in the story, and it sort of brought a level of stupidity to the movie.But all in all an entertaining movie and fun to watch.

I can't put into words how much I love this movie. It might just be my favorite film, it's up there with Tokyo SOS, DESTORYAH, And FINAL WARS. First off there's about 30 mins of Godzilla. He makes his first appearance early one and he gets A LOT of screen time. Then there's Rodan who's gotten her best incarnation yet, and it will remain as my favorite version of her (or he?!).Of course there's Mechs G, who in my opinion gets his best look. I like good guy Mecha G, but Kiryu was overdone to me. This is my favorite Mecha G. The monster fights are amazing, the monster scenes are amazing, and the whole film is just awesome. By far one of if not the best of the Godzilla Films.

One of the greatest G-films I've ever seen. "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla (II)" is definitely my second favorite of the Heisei era for a number of reasons. First off, the story line was incredibly done. I guess you could say it's fresh, but it does have elements from "Son of Godzilla", which I enjoyed. The human characters are well done and keep our interest throughout, delivering emotion and even appreciated bits of comedy. I also like how the story included Mecha-King Ghidorah, showing us there is still continuity here. It helped make MechaGodzilla more believable, where as that plant music has me dumbfounded, but I guess it has something to do with sonic waves, so it's logical to me.The SFX were even better than the last films, even placing people next to MechaG in his docking bay. And the many fights, let me tell you, are extraordinary. Godzilla and Rodan's fight on Adona Island was the best in my opinion, even incorporating fight moves from older films into the mix. It didn't hold back either, with plenty of strangling and fierce body blows. Rodan looked great in this movie, looking more pterodactylish ( is that a word?), and I love his sonic boom attack.MechaG looked great, and the mechanical monster delivering so many attacks it blew me away. Another thing I like is MechaG's confrontation with Rodan, which was a brutal fight not to miss. Garuda was a nice addition to the Japanese military, SuperMechaGodzilla looking impressive. Baby Godzilla actually looked except able, compared to Minilla, who looked OK ( a pushing it okay). Baby G just isn't here to look cute and I love his somber theme by Ifukbe. Godzilla is no doubt the star and he probably gets the most screen time than in any other Heisei film. Not to mention he looks incredible and I love his entrance at the beginning. I also like the how Rodan saves Godzilla from MechaG. It really gave the monster a personality of sorts and I enjoyed that. As far as the music, Akira Ifukbe delivers a masterful score, giving Rodan's terror theme and giving MechaG a new theme. Both sounded great, as well as the revamped JSDF march.With a great story, incredible monsters and bad ass fights, with nice human characters as well, this G-film is one of my all-time favorites. If you haven't seen it, you better!!

Remember that battle with King Ghidorah? At the end, they transformed Ghidorah into MechaGhidorah to defeat Godzilla. Well Godzilla didn't die, so they recovered MechaGhidorah to make MechaGodzilla. Are you still with me? Why is Godzilla angry? You stole his egg and now you have baby Godzilla, you dolts! You are lucky it didn't bite your heads off.Sound is fantastic, and the special effects are great.Better than the 1974 version.Megumi Odaka, Kenji Sahara, and Kôichi Ueda are back from Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.
