This iteration of Godzilla is a little twisted - he toys with his prey for personal entertainment.  I swear you see a twinkle in his eye before Godzilla signals a new finishing move to Jet Jaguar. You’re still going to root for Godzilla, though.  You can’t help but give a thumbs up to your ole lizard pal as he gives his fly enemy a sideways stomp.  4 stars.

The battle scene at the end was worth the one-hour nonsensical, goofy-plotted drag of a movie it was, like for real, Godzilla got some moves.

74/100 So, to the point: this movie is bad. The plot is simplistic yet also somehow absolute nonsense, it's full of stock footage, and it's just goofy schlock that gives Godzilla a bad reputation. And I love it for exactly those reasons. The human plot of this movie, like most of the Showa era, is a thinly veiled excuse to get to the monster scenes, but it's a pretty good excuse. The two "friends", Goro and Hiroshi, are pretty alright and to its credit, the movie has a fair amount of human action scenes as well, which are always fun to see in these monster movies. The only thing about the human plot I can't stand is the little kid, Rokuro. He's pretty much the stereotypical annoying kid, whining his way through every scene he's in. I've seen his kind before and I know I'll see more of them later. However, the main draw of the film, once again, like most Godzilla films, is the effects…
