Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II

Godzilla Junior already looks like he wants to die. Still better than Minilla.

This is a good Godzilla flick. There's some entertaining fights, particularly the battles between Godzilla and Mechagodzilla. The effects are good other than Rodan who is a bit on the stiff side. The problem with the flying beasts in every Godzilla movie is that that they flap their wings twice and they're at full speed. That's as evident here as anywhere. Godzilla and Mechagodzilla look great here and MG is loaded to the hilt with weapons. There's some gushing Godzilla blood courtesy of those weapons, too. The problem with this movie is two-fold. The human characters are annoying. The poor choice of character voices used for the dubbing makes them even worse. And the biggest problem is the baby Godzilla that gets way too much screen time. It's so cute, it's nauseating. It also doesn't help that the woman that serves as its caretaker constantly refers to it as "baby". She must say "baby" a hundred times. I think if you could take the baby Godzilla out of this movie, "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II" would be one of the better entries in the series.
