After numerous rounds of combat with Japan's most furious monsters, the robotic beast Mechagodzilla is in for some much needed repairs when a handful of sprites appear before the scientists putting the machine back in fighting shape. The enchanted ones warn the scientists that their actions could have grave consequences, but it isn't long before Godzilla, the most fearsome of all monsters, returns to the scene to prove his might once and for all. What's more, Godzilla is joined by Mothra for a reign of terror that threatens to devastate the island. With few alternatives, Japan's leaders pit the repaired Mechagodzilla against Godzilla and Mothra, but it quickly becomes unclear if the robot will obey its human creators or join forces with the flesh-and-blood monsters. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This modern series is one that's improving with each entry, and all of them are big ol' heaps of rubber suit glee.

The big guy is only a force of nature here, a catastrophe that draws everyone together to fight it. Along the way are thinly veiled bits that tie protection of family with Japanese history, Japanese religion and Japanese pride, howbeit in a nice kid-friendly way. There's a moral woven in the mix, too, about the love of technology maybe not being such a good thing. Finally, an inoffensive embrace of the old Godzilla movies with a nod to the future.

Direct sequel to Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. Surprise, surprise, Godzilla returns for revenge against his robotic counterpart. This time the end of the world may also follow suit, as humans have managed to piss off Mothra as well. I loved the way in which Godzilla's bones helped create Mechagodzilla, and save humanity, are now the cause of all the controversy and may destroy humanity. There is less human conflict in this film, but the action more than makes up for it. Another wonderful Godzilla movie then. I'm sad I only have one left to watch.

A great conclusion to the Kiryu (Mechagodzilla 3) story arc.

Great Godzilla film with some amazing monster battle scenes and a great story on Mechagodzilla. Awesome stuff.
