Movie Reviews of Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla II
Movie Review: One of the greatest G films!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is the best entry in the Heisei series & one of the greatest G films of all time! Here Mechagodzilla is presented not as an alien creation, but as the latest weapon created by man to destroy Godzilla once and for all. Complicating matters is the discovery of an egg that eventually hatches a baby Godzillasaurus (Gojirasaurus in Japanese) and the appearance of the Rodan (Radon in Japanese), a monster bird with a psychic link to "Baby" (as he is named by his keepers). There is a nice "nature vs technology" theme running through the script - literally represented in the scenes where Garuda's revival of Mechagodzilla is mirrored by Rodan's revival of Godzilla. Baby is light years ahead of Minya, but still cute and cuddly (for the youngsters out there). I like how the filmmakers highlighted the emotions of the monsters: Baby crying as he is left by his "mother" so he can be adopted by Godzilla, Godzilla roaring in frustration and anger as he is unable to find the little dinosaur, Rodan's determination to assist Baby even as he lies dying. Such moments elevate this film above other monster films that too often treat the monsters as nothing more that king-sized nuisances. Performances by the cast range from good to excellent and the story moves along at a brisk clip. As usual, there are many spfx highlights: Rodan & Godzilla squaring off on Adona Island, Mechagodzilla rising from dry dock to battle his reptilian nemesis &, of course, the final showdown between the monsters that will decide the fate of Baby. Akira Ifukube contributes one of his best scores. The CD is long out of print but well worth seeking out (just be prepared to spend a pretty penny to get it). I cannot recommend this film highly enough. If you love Godzilla, chances are you will love this film too!
