You want to know what this Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla movie is all about? Well, if one remembers that rather (to put it kindly) flawed blockbuster event from DC, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (boy, what a supreme court case that was!), it involved in some part Lex Luthor hatching up a plan to make Doomsday to fight and kill Superman. That's not the only thing that happens, but that's the gist of it, right, and of course we know from the comics that Superman fights Doomsday and it becomes his undoing because, simply, Doomsday is bigger and badderer and can actually *hurt* Superman to the point of killing him practically. This Toho 20th anniversary for the "King of all Monsters" is kind of like that, only with some strange space-men in place of Lex Luthor, and Mecha-Godzilla in place of Doomsday to fight our Superman-like monster in Godzilla.If you think about it in that way it makes sense, and luckily this is a better Batman v Superman movie than what we got from Zach Snyder. But there are many other things that happen in this movie, and largely it's around a plot involving a statue that has some magical abilities, and another monstrous character, King Caesar, who resides on the island of Osaka, and what must be done to summon him to action. The space men are both highly entertaining and yet so silly to the point of being (almost) unable to take it: when they get shot, specifically in the face, part or all of their heads turn into ape-heads, and they become so accordingly. Why are they apes? Uh, I guess why not? I might buy into it more if the masks didn't look like they came discount from the set of the Planet of the Apes TV show at the time or something, it's that ridiculous. And this part of the movie takes up a big chunk of the middle, as the big monsters (plus Angirius in the opening) appear near the start and then go away for most of the movie as Mecha-Godzilla goes away for repairs. The human characters are fairly standard, and the stand-outs to me are the Interpol agent who looks super-slick and bad-ass with his glasses and black get up, and the woman who sings the long but amazing song to summon King Caesar (this was my pleasant surprise of the movie, thinking it would be interminable, but like the twins in the Mothra installments it's a welcome addition to have singing here). I like the movie well enough, and I think if you love the sillier B movie aspects of Godzilla's franchise it'll work just fine. I was with it at times and not at others, and it's neither the very best nor is it the worst these movies have to offer. Also, as a plus, Mecha- Godzilla is a spectacular threat and looks cool.

14th Godzilla picture once again(!) brings in more aliens(intelligent apes disguised as humans, seemingly inspired by the "Planet Of The Apes" films...) who plan to take over the world by building a giant robot version of Godzilla called MechaGodzilla to fight and destroy the real one. Meanwhile, a local legend about a giant lion-like monster called King Caesar seems to be coming true, which is good news for Godzilla, who needs all the help he can get. A bit of imagination here, and nice change of locale, but otherwise this is still quite ridiculous and uninspired, not to mention tacky. Poor Godzilla had seen much better days!

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla brings back a more serious tone. Well, as serious as you can be with the Godzilla movies (not including the original). Here we have an alien race of ape-men, creating their own Godzilla. Meanwhile a prophecy speaks of the resurrection of King Caesar. It's a big old monster mash-up with everything I love about these films. It was also well-shot, and stands apart in the sometimes boring human sections. Here, the intrigue is just as exciting as monsters fighting. We also see a rather horrific jaw breaking scene, and the wonders of wakening a monster with a four minute song. Mechagodzilla is a joy, as he doesn't look as ridiculous as some of the monster creations from the past.

This is a fun motion picture. The story to this movie is very mother %$#*ing silly, but to be fare it's a fun storyline. Aliens come down to Earth and wish to kill Godzilla, because of the fact that he killed the other monsters they decide to build a mechanical version of Godzilla himself, known as MECHAGODZILLA. Mechagodzilla is easily my favorite Godzilla villain. The character in this movie is created by aliens, but in later movies it should be noted that he would be created by the Military. Personally I think I like it better when he is built by the Extra-Terrestrials. Mainly because of the fact that in my opinion it actually makes more sense. Because actually think about it, how much cash would a gigantic laser fireing robot cost? I would say somewhere around $300,000,000,000,000. If it is aliens that build him that's OK, aliens have all the time and money they need. Now time to get back to the film. The acting is OK. Nothing to great. But the effects are cheesy but OK. I mean there not as bad as the effects in a movie like say Orgy of the Dead. So it the end this is a decent monster flick.
