Movie Rating
Rather atypical Godzilla movie with the focus very much on the human characters and a much stronger sci-fi element than usual. When a new Godzilla appears, a widowed scientist and a young pilot both find themselves working on a project to develop Mechagodzilla, a cyborg weapon built from the remains of the creature from the 1954 movie. Needless to say, Mechagodzilla turns out to be unexpectedly ornery - can our heroes turn things around in time to save Tokyo from Godzilla (again)?

Unusually well-characterised for this genre, with a plot that distinctly anticipates that of Pacific Rim. The downside of this is that Godzilla's off-screen or off in the distance for most of the movie, but you can't have everything. Not exactly profound or loaded with subtext, but it does have rather glorious widescreen scenes of indiscriminate property damage, extremely good monster suits, and bags of energy and fun - you can see why the next film in the series was a direct sequel to this one.
