Review of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) by David Z — 10 Sep 2010

The 14th Godzilla movie and it's a great one. This time, Godzilla ditches the super-hero role he had since Invasion of the Astro-Monster, and returns back into his roots. Also, it introduces his most well known foe, Mechagodzilla.

Godzilla goes into a rampage into Japan. Anguirus shows up and notices something is wrong with Godzilla: He doesn't recognizes Anguirus, he shoots lasers from his eyes, and his roar sounds different. Who is this monster and what is his goal?

This movie is once again about aliens trying to conquer the world but unlike the last movies it doesn't feel boring. Mechagodzilla brings in a great fight against Godzilla, and it's great to look at. After the last piss poor movies, it's a breath of fresh air to see a good Godzilla movie, rcommended.
