Despite having a low budget, cheap production and a Godzilla suit that appears quite aged, this film is the most adorable, fun Godzilla film ever made, and for the better.
This is certainly not the height of Godzilla, having a contrived, rushed and wobbly plot (even by Godzilla standards) and it heavily caters towards young audiences with its simplicity. That said, this film is so charming. All the monsters are full of personality, expertly designed and bring such energy that it elevates this b-movie to feel like something more when they are present.
If all you want in a Godzilla movie is a big monster fight, this movie is for you. It's got plenty of monster action, all of which is engaging, creative and full of fun interactions.
Not the height of the franchise, but certainly a staple of it.
That said the flaws of the previous entry, Godzilla Vs Gigan, carry over to this movie worse than as they appeared before; Including the use of stock footage, a cliche plot and being very predictable. Mixed in with this are, even by the standards of cheap Godzilla films, characters and actors who are entirely bland and forgettable.
Stale but entertaining, fans will likely get more from this movie than the average viewer. But I would still recommend it.
