Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II is a fantastic Godzilla film, easily the best Mechagodzilla film, and the best film of the Heisei era.

This film has a very compelling, well-written, intriguing, and elegantly simplicit story. It very much revolves around the monster action, which was a fantastic choice, as it allows for a very action-packed film with a very tightly knitted story.

At the same time, the characters are not left on the back burner, and are likable and interesting. Kazuma Aoki makes for a very charming lead who is initially a goofball but learns to take responsibility for his actions throughout the film and becomes a more competent man. Azusa Gojo is a very sympathetic protagonist with her touching mother-son relationship with BabyGodzilla pulling at your heart strings. Miki Saegusa is just as sympathetic and more developed then ever before as she begins to see Godzilla in a different light due to BabyGodzilla. All of the soldiers, commanders, generals, and scientists at G-Force each have their own motivations and character traits as well, such as the big, gruff Commander Aso who has a very deep vendetta against Godzilla. Even the side characters with not much screen time and very little lines have notable character traits, which is partially due to the really well-done acting.

The new Mechagodzilla design is sleek and awesome, looking smoother and more modern than the Showa incarnation, and it looks even better when it combines with the flying machine Garuda, making it look like an even more powerful killing machine. Godzilla looks just as great as ever, still retaining the iconic look introduced in Godzilla vs. Biollante with another excellent suit that happens to be my personal favorite. Rodan's redesign is more majestic and pterosaur-like, an improvement over his very derpy post-1956 Showa era design. He not only looks cooler, but more natural and believable. And finally, BabyGodzilla is a vast improvement over Minilla, looking absolutely adorable and yet still looking very lifelike, like a real theropod dinosaur infant. The three organic monsters are brought to life in such a way that they have their own personalities and could be considered actual dynamic, well-rounded characters on their own. Godzilla has his character ark here, as he starts out being the same rage-filled nuclear leviathan from the previous films only to become a father that can actually show compassion by the end of the film, as he spends the majority of it searching for BabyGodzilla, only to cross paths with Rodan and Mechagodzilla whenever he tries to do so. His goal is clearly to unite with and protect the infant Godzillasaurus to raise him as his own son, and he risks life and limb over it. He's still a badass throughout the film, but we also get to see a bit of his softer side. Rodan also has an emotional attachment to BabyGodzilla, but in a different way; since they were born in the same nest, he sees BabyGodzilla as his little brother and therefore does everything to protect him. BabyGodzilla is the heart of the film, as an innocent and intelligent being that cares deeply about those he sees as his parental figures. On the other side of things, Mechagodzilla moves and acts realistically for a robot, never making it seem like a living thing and therefore solidifying the theme of life vs. artificial life. The decision to make Mechagodzilla lifeless also supports this theme and, along with BabyGodzilla and our main characters, helps drive the audience to an emotional connection to the monsters as the film progresses.

One of the most powerful and unique aspects of the film is indeed the conflict it brings about within the characters and even the audience. It begins with Mechagodzilla being the good guy and Godzilla being the bad guy, but by the middle, it becomes greyer rather than black and white, with both G-Force and Godzilla having reasons to be doing what they're doing and both are reasonable from their point of view. This also creates high stakes and tension with the battles between Godzilla and Mechagodzilla, making for some of the most gripping fight scenes in the franchise.

The special effects are incredibly solid and well-done, with some astounding attention to detail. Despite the film's abundance of action scenes, there aren't any extremely noticeable lapses in the quality of the visual effects: all of it looks top notch (with the exception of some brief funky matte shots that don't look the best, and the prop used when Mechagodzilla is flying does look kind of wonky, though definitely better then the Showa one). In particular, the animatronic heads for all three monsters look notably impressive and extremely organic. The film is also packed with tons of exhilarating and memorable action sequences that are spread out so well that it's very well-paced and highly entertaining. Godzilla and Rodan's battle on Adonoa Island is one of the most exciting fights in the franchise, and the battles where Godzilla and Rodan fight Mechagodzilla are very excitingly choreographed and directed and have no shortage of physical brawling.

And finally, Akira Ifukube's musical score is brilliant; while he usually always delivers fantastic scores, this one is particularity good, with very many memorable, riveting, and haunting yet beautiful pieces.

Overall, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II is an absolutely fantastic Godzilla film all around. It succeeds in practically every category and therefore is definitely one of the finest and most consistently entertaining entries in the entire franchise.

Toho was on a role bringing back some of their famous monsters to costar with Godzilla throughout the 90s. First King Ghidorah, then Mothra, and now not one but three classic characters: Baby Godzilla, Rodan, and, of course, Mechagodzilla. What results is a full on monster war!

Plot: By reverse-engineering futuristic technology from the remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah, the Japanese government creates what they believe is the ultimate anti-Godzilla weapon: Mechagodzilla! Meanwhile, scientists recover an egg from a Pteranodon nest only for the egg to hatch later and out comes Baby Godzilla, who sees one of the scientists as its mother. With this baby hatched, both Godzilla and Rodan are out to retrieve it as their own and Mechagodzilla is sent in to take them both out. Will Godzilla/Rodan succeed in their mission or will Baby Godzilla end up being orphaned?

The dilemma of this entire situation makes for a great story as loyalties and logics are pitted against each other between man and monster alike. It causes the viewer to choose sides and that makes this movie even more great. The action scenes are awesome as these monsters really beat the living crap out of each other and the surrounding environment gets torn apart by their very might. The suit designs and puppets are pretty good, particularly Baby Godzilla who's able to express certain emotions. The music is absolutely impressive, which complements how intense the action is and how emotional some of the interactions between characters is. Human characters are at least likable, from the scientists to Miki Saegusa, the psychic who empathizes Godzilla and his son.

My only complaint seems to be Mechagodzilla being a little too powerful like in his first movie. Other than that, this is one of the best and most iconic entries in the Godzilla series. It has everything you'd expect in a film like this: great action, wonderful music, character development, and, of course, lots of explosions. Definitely recommended that you check this flick out. All hail the King of the Monsters!

Godzilla has a really busy time again: fighting the winged Radon, trashing a huge tin can named Mechagodzilla, and looking for his baby. The little monster is as cute as his predecessor in `Gojira No Mosuko', but better designed, with evil glowing red eyes. One novelty in the 90s Godzilla movies is the creation of a special group of experts called `G Force' who try not to let Godzilla wreck Japan as badly again as he did in the 60s. With little success, though - to sum it up, not one of the best movies of the series, but a good deal of chaos and destruction again. Voted 6/10.

Despite the 'II' in the English title, "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993, 20th film in the franchise) is not a sequel to "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" (1974) or "Terror of Mechagodzilla" (1975) and the fact that there has already been a gigantic robotic version of Godzilla seems to have been lost to the kaiju amnesia that affects Japan every decade or so (Rodan, on the other hand, is remembered by name). This time around, Mechagodzilla is not created by sneaky aliens, but rather by the 'UN Godzilla Countermeasures Center', a multinational, anti-kaiju taskforce. Why the robot needs to look like Godzilla is never explained, but it is bristling with weapons from laser eyes to a belly mounted 'pulse grenade' to assorted missiles to electrified grappling hooks. Needless to say, all get deployed during titanic battles with Godzilla and Rodan (who has been upgraded to field some kind of energy weapon to supplement flapping his wings and pecking with his beak). In the background of the mayhem, an egg has been found from which hatches a tiny (relatively) 'Godzillasaurus', promptly christened "Baby" by imprinted scientist Azusa Gojo (Ryoko Sano). The series continues to embrace new-age spirituality, as Miki Saegusa is back, and 'psychic links' and 'life forces' play pivotal roles in the plot. "Baby", as can be guessed, was included in an attempt to woo female viewers (who allegedly prefer 'creation and life' to 'destruction and death') and, while not as obnoxious and irritating as "Minilla" (i.a. "Son of Godzilla" 1967), this iteration of Godzilla's offspring is still pretty cloying. The special effects, which includes traditional suit-mation/puppetry and early CGI, looks pretty good, with an excellent Godzilla suit and some outstanding miniature work. Mechagodzilla looks OK, although it spends a lot of time flying/hovering or standing still, so I assume that the suit was not very mobile. Rodan still looks awkward and Baby has a toy-frog face with big, fake looking puppy-dog eyes. The film also features the 'Garuda', another in a line of highly improbable looking flying-tanks sent against the monsters, which in keeping with the 'transforming mecha' trend popular in the '90s, can attach to the Mechagodzilla to create a "Supermechagodzilla'. I watched a sub-titled Japanese version (although a lot of English is spoken in the film) and the acting is par for kaiju epics. The script is full of silly observations (e.g. despite having nothing but sharp teeth, Baby is confidently identified as a plant eater), quantum leaps of logic, and dramatic conclusions based on essentially no data, but that's nothing new for the genre. The battle scenes are good, as is the music, and, if you are the correct demographic (which I am not), you can coo over the baby Godzilla. Although not as good as the loopy "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah" (1991), this incarnation of Godzilla fighting his robotic doppleganger is an entertaining enough time-waster.

By 1993 the Heisei era of the Godzilla series was well in swing. Here production company Toho bring back Mechagodzilla, Rodan and sadly - they birth Baby Godzilla. Plot is nutty of course, top level government organisation want rid of Godzilla, so using various mechanics and creature science from previous Godzilla foes, construct a new Mechagodzilla, who is soon to be souped up to be Super Mechagodzilla. Carnage, telepathy, hidden brains and maternal instincts do follow.

It's actually one of the better films from the Heisei wave. Standard city destruction via model work is always good fun, but it's nice to find the effects work is of a much better standard than from previous instalments. The action sequences are smartly constructed by Takao Okawara, with the crowning smack-down between Zilla and Metalzilla absolutely joyous, a fun packed blend of cartoonish chaos and death ray destruction. Akira Ifukube once again provides an outstanding musical score, and while you will search long and hard for acting performances of note, it all just falls into place in the grand scheme of things.

Now if only we didn't have that goddamn Baby Godzilla! So cute! So annoying... 7/10

The best thing about this film is its numerous all out, down and dirty giant monster battles with the likes of Fire Rodan, Godzilla and Super MechaGodzilla! These are pulled off with all the vast destructive impact fans would and should expect from the series.

However. Yes there is an however because this film at times also suffers from a serious case of the cutes especially involving the recently hatched Godzillasaurus. Also its message-driven ending comes across as particularly forced and reeks of cheesiness. Still all in all, this film remains great fun despite a poor ending.

One of the top 10 grossing Godzilla films. Though no new monsters were introduced, this movie brought back Godzilla and updated versions of Rodan, Mechagodzilla and the Son of Godzilla. Rodan looks excellent and his action sequences were executed well. He's quicker and even gets to spit radioactive beams.

Instead of a space alien (referring back to 1974's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla), Mechagodzilla is the ultimate weapon created by G-Force to defeat Godzilla. The Son of Godzilla returns as BabyGodzilla, looking more dinosaur-like and closely resembling Godzilla more.

It is notable that many past Godzilla movie actors appear in this movie. Actor Tadao Takashima (from 1962's King Kong vs. Godzilla) made a cameo appearance as Chief Hosono, director of the psychic institute. Actor Kenji Sahara (from 1956's Rodan) starred as Minister Segawa, director of the defense force. Actress Megumi Odaka returned as psychic Miki Saegusa, as well as Keiko Imanura and Sayaka Osawa (both appeared as the Cosmos in this film's prequel).

Miki befriended Godzilla and BabyGodzilla and told the commanders of G-Force to let the monsters be. However, she was forced to be among the crew in Mechagodzilla so she can use her psychic powers to locate Godzilla's secondary brain and destroy it. BabyGodzilla was used as bait to lure Godzilla to Tokyo. What follows are action-packed monster sequences - some of the best in the series.

This film has a plain plot, but the excessive scenes of the monsters and the colorful characters made this an enjoyable movie. You could see the interiors of the G-Force building and the psychic institute. Composer Akira Ifukube gave another spectacular music score, providing us one of his most memorable marches - the G-Force March. He used a lot of his music from 1964's Godzilla vs. Mothra and 1991's Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. When you watch his film closely, you could catch a brief scan of Tokyo Disneyland when Rodan flies over it (it is notable that Tokyo Disneyland opened in 1983 and this movie was released in 1993, marking 10 years of the theme park's anniversary).

With five monsters appearing (one of the most in a "Heisei" Godzilla movie), this movie is not to be missed by any Sci-Fi fans.

Grade A-

OMG! We have a little Godzillasaurus, and momma is coming for her baby, flattening everything in the way.

After Godzilla leaves empty handed, the G-Force is to use the baby inside their new Mechagodzilla to attract Godzilla and Radon.

I have to say that things have really gotten futuristic in the almost twenty years of Godzilla.

G-Force's new Mechagodzilla is clearly the eye-catcher in this film, and he is really well done. He can shoot great beams out of his mouth like his role model, and when he launches his rocket nozzles and takes off, then we rally get the testosterone raised as we would love to be the pilot of this giant beast.

This is definitely one of the most successful films of the Godzilla series.

The 1993 version of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is one of the best "kaiju" (giant monster) films ever made and is an action-packed, exciting film in general. Full of great effects as well as drama and fun, this film delivers where other films of its type fall flat. For the price of admission, you get Godzilla, the updated version of Rodan, the new and improved MechaGodzilla and the introduction of Baby Godzilla. Not to be missed not only by Godzilla fans, but any serious science fiction/fantasy lover.

Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla is regarded by many as the best Godzilla film in the 'Heisei' series,and it's easy to see why,with it's non-stop action,revivals of three of the 'Showa' series monsters and huge amount of monster footage. No leisurely build up here-we are plunged almost immediately into the action,and it than never lets up apart from a brief slowing down in the middle.

This was Godzilla's 40th anniversary film,and so it is rife with scenes from Showa Godzilla films copied,including even certain shots-for instance,Godzilla attacking an oil refinary from the original Godzilla Vs Mothra,or Rodan knocking down Godzilla from Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster,there's a terrific knowingness to this film. The plot here is very simple but effective in it's simplicity,and Akira Ifikube's score is simply wonderful,his best ever for a Godzilla film,full of memorable themes and often amazingly poignant.

The film is let down a little by it's monsters-the new baby Godzilla is great and far better than 'Minya' from the 'Showa' series,but Rodan and Mechagodzilla look inferior to their predecessors. The fights are OK but the climactic one is somewhat static,and the film has a lot less visual imagination than the last three films. It's difficult to say if this is better than the previous two films,it lacks the wild and crazy story of Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah or the sense of wonder and eye candy of Godzilla vs Mothra,but if you just want monsters on the rampage and battling it out,this one delivers wonderfully,and most Godzilla fans want little more than that.

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.

Following on from 'Godzilla Vs Mothra' this installment of the 90's Godzilla reboot series balances the minimal involvement of Godzilla's character in that entry by having lots of Godzilla, in fact three Godzilla's, or even four in a manner of speaking, in this film.

'Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla II' (as it's known outside Japan.) has a lot of Godzilla and plenty of creature combat which helps to break up the dull human scenes and misfiring comedy and make this film seem like much less of a trudge into drawn out and overlong territory. The action scenes are good with plenty of pyrotechnics. The score reflects a film that has more character involvement from Godzilla, not just in quantity but also some more engaging ideas brought on by including a baby Godzilla known as "Baby".

The overall sound design is good too and the miniature models and props and the explosions and acrobatics are well executed for the most part and the special effects are really ok for the time and budget.

The redesign of Mechagodzilla and Rodan are not quite as successful as those for some characters, but they are adequate.

With a much better quota of Godzilla than in previous films and lengthier battles this is one of my favourite 90's Godzilla's. The slightly more involved characters add to the monster mayhem too.

Whilst there are undoubtedly better Godzilla films from every era of Godzilla than 'Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla II' I think that this one can hold its own overall and it's my favourite of the early 90's films which brought classic monsters back out of retirement to re-fight Godzilla.

I rate 5/10 and I recommend to modern Godzilla fans.

This is the best of the new Heisei Godzilla series made. For one it features the return of many favorites including MechaGodzilla (bigger and badder than ever), Rodan (although he is called "Radon" which is his Japanese name) Baby Godzilla (who could kick Minya's @$$ in 5 seconds) and Godzilla (who who could kick the Tristar Godzilla's @$$ in about 1 second!). The story has characters that you care about, the effects are wonderful, the fight scenes are great, Rodan looks really cool as Fire Rodan, Garuda and MechaGodzilla are really awesome, and the dubbing matches 75% of the time! The story says that an egg, which hatches into a Baby Godzillasaur, is Godzilla's son. However, it was found in Rodan's nest so he thinks that it's his baby too. The UNGCC (United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center) takes Baby away for studying. Godzilla and Rodan go to Kyoto to find baby but instead find a huge battle with MechaGodzilla. Rodan is seriously injured and near death. Discovering Godzilla's 2nd brain, MechaGodzilla destroys it, paralyzing Godzilla. Then...you'll have to see it to find out what happens at the end. This a must for any true Godzilla nut like myself. Buy it, and you won't regret it at all!

Out of the latter Heisei movies, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II is perhaps the most satisfying entry. I personally like the introduction of an infant Godzilla. Not only does it allow for a personal connection to develop with our protagonists, but it also gives a more understandable motivate for Godzilla. The whole "Life vs Artificial Life" isn't explored enough but the film has enough substance to enhance the action.

After sitting through godzilla vs mothra, I was left unsatisfied and disappointed and a much better Godzilla film was such a fresh air. Let's explain why.

In the previous film, Godzilla felt like an afterthought and he seemed like a side character. I'm so glad the team realized that and Godzilla became the main character and focus once again. The suit actor does a really great job and you really feel for him during tense moments of the film.

Miki Saegasuma is finally given something to do after little to no role during the last 2 films. Making her character even more special than ever was. Although I found the human drama more interesting in the earlier Heisei films, this wasn't half bad. Gojo and her relation with baby Godzilla is the main emotional-force behind the film and the big supporting cast helps it to make it more impactful to the audience. The dinosaur enthusiast has a lot of personality and it has hard not to feel for him

Perhaps the greatest strength of this film would be the monsters. All the old returning Kaijus have a great re-design and much better than their Showa era counterparts. Despite looking similar to Godzilla, Baby godzilla is still adorable and cute. Mechagodzilla's multiple fights are highly entertaining. Rodan makes it even more interesting as his little skirmishes are great as his ability to fly is giving more diversity to the action

The entire tone of this film is "man vs nature". This film shows its ideas not by messages but by premises and action. It gives you multiple perspectives giving you even more diversity which will never make anyone feel bored and keep the audience engaged

On top of all the qualities, the soundtrack is also fantastic. Each kaiju's theme perfectly suits their respective kaijus.

Overall this film surpasses every Heisei film besides Godzilla vs Biollante because I just love that film's tone but Toho, you guys did a fine job!

Rating: 7.7/10.

"When mankind's time is over, do you really think they'll come back?" "Even if it takes another 65 million years ... I'm sure they will. They're just waiting ..." New Minilla > Baby Yoda > Baby Grinch > OG Minilla

I wasn't the biggest fan of the other Mecha films (Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla / Terror of Mechagodzilla / King Kong Escapes / Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah) so I wasn't too thrilled going into this. But I was genuinely surprised! This has to be the best of the Mecha films for sure.

Toho seems to be getting a better grasp when crafting their stories. With every new entry each film seems to be getting a more grounded, cohesive, and intriguing plot and this one is no different. There's lots of little twists and turns that keep your attention through the entire runtime and is only complimented by some great characters and even better action scenes. The fight and destruction sequences were top notch and only continue to improve with every film.

Plus, Godzilla is the most badass he's been, even though he gets absolutely thrashed by Mechagodzilla the whole film.

Speaking of Mechagodzilla, this time Toho decided to take a more grounded approach to Mechagodzilla. No more aliens and no more "space metal" - thank the lord. Also, I kind of prefer its OG appearance over its new one, not for any particular reason - I just think the OG looks better.

Overall I think Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II ended up being a pretty good film, especially in comparison to the previous Mechagodzilla films. Great characters, solid story, and awesome fight / destruction scenes!

This one was really good...I finally saw it after many missed chances. This Godzilla movie had more action than some of the other ones made in the 90's and it also had multiple battles as well. This special force has made a robot version of Godzilla to protect Japan from the real one. Complications arise as a giant flying dinosaur also appears as well as a strange egg. The flying dinosaur seems to be Rodan, but they call it Radon here. Maybe this is what it was meant to be called back in the days? The egg ends up being a baby Godzilla and scientist stupidly bring it into a city and of course not only does Godzilla come for it, but so does Radon. MechaGodzilla though pretty much tears Godzilla apart in their first meeting using its various weapons (I was disappointed when it did not have its finger missiles like the one from the earlier movies), unfortunately it malfunctions and it can not continue the fight. They devise a new plan that involves another ship to combine with MechaGodzilla to form a Super-MechaGodzilla. There is also a rather dumb point of Godzilla having two brains and apparently the second one is in his butt (no joke). All in all a really good Godzilla flick with just a couple of flaws. Lots of action as well.

Mechagodzilla looks absolutely incredible in this film, easily the best it's looked so far. There are lots of shots that give you context to the gigantic size and the amount of work to build it. The film also has plenty of monster action which makes it great, there is enough city smashing too! Although I did notice that they never really show the city smashing from the perspective of the people living in the cities as they are getting destroyed except for some scenes of them running away with a kaiju on the horizon. The human story in this film has some craziness although not as much as the more memorable stories in the franchise so far, that's fine though as the monster action is the winner here. There are some great shots showing the sense of scale even if the scale is sometimes inconsistent. Worth watching but not my favourite so far.

Ye, I gave it 5/10, but that purely goes to the fight-choreography, which is the sole good thing in this movie.

This thing which barely if at all deserves to be called a film is just incoherent rambling on the level of Troll 2, but there at least was a foundation for a story. This lacks even that.

From undeveloped ideas (the loosely soldier-psi girl-scientist's daughter love triangle to start with) to Mr. Lame pretending to be Green Goblin for several minutes to such details that Godzilla destroys some electric cables just because every G-movie has to at some point but when the camera angle changes there is no damage, this piece of cinematography is an insult on every level.

Heck, I was even bored by the action. Why? Because it happened in the middle of some city. But instead of making me worried for property-damage, cost of lives, whether the citizens can escape in time, whether they'll be able to divert the rampage before something famous like the Tokyo Tower gets destroyed, I just waved this away lazily with the thought "ye, that looks cool" like an insomniac at 2 AM high on marijuana while his apartment gets on fire.

The reviewers usually give The Worst G-movie title to Godzilla vs Megalon (not counting All Monster Attack), but they are strongly mistaken. This is worse. I might even blame this for the recent Transformers-movies where you don't even see anything but colored lines blurring over. That's this on steroid.

The idea of the Son of Godzilla is done right. A lot of this movie is kind of silly and a lot of repetitive monster suits destroy cities that have been going on for 50 years but they still manage to make it work without being a completely silly movie. MechaGodzilla being the Megazord with Garuda attached to become the SuperMechaGodzilla was the silly touch I really liked. Godzilla, Rodan and the humans fighting to protect the baby is all anyone could ask for. There's a lot to love here and a lot to be bored with. I hope there'll be a more modern adaptation of this storyline that is even better.

I think having seen Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla,II that I've finally seen where the idea of the Power Ranger Zords came from. The Japanese getting tired of their cities getting destroyed by Godzilla have decided to build their own mechanical state of the art monster called Mechagodzilla and he's got weaponry like a Power Ranger Zord. In addition Rodan renamed Radon has now made a comeback.

Let's say that these two are capable of anything humankind can throw at them. Especially Godzilla who is now a popular hero over there. All that firepower just makes the big guy made.

The usual fun nonsense with this as with the other films.
