Aus Trümmern künstlich hergestellt und aufgebaut, stellt Mechagodzilla die ultimative Waffe gegen Godzilla dar. Das hochtechnisierte, atombetriebene und diamantengepanzerte Monster wird von Menschen als neue ultimative Waffe gegen Godzilla eingesetzt. Gleichzeitig wird auf einer gesperrten Insel, durch atomare Strahlung verseucht, von einem Forscherteam ein riesiges Ei entdeckt und für Forschungszwecke mitgenommen. Doch als aus dem Ei Baby-Godzilla schlüpft, machen sich Rodan und Godzilla auf den Weg, um ihren Schützling aus der Hand der Menschen zu befreien. Doch das soll verhindert werden, denn Baby-Godzilla ist bereits ein beliebtes Forschungsobjekt und wird von der übermächtigen Kampfmaschine Mechagodzilla verteidigt. Ein gigantischer Kampf bricht los... (Verleiher-Text)

21) GODZILLA vs. MECHAGODZILLA II – HEISEI SERIES 1984-1995. I think I understand why this episode is one of the most commercially successful. It targets the youngest viewers with the character of Godzilla's child, who seems to have wandered in from an kids TV show, thanks to which the whole spectrum of the audience will find their own thing. This is despite the fact that Okawara is, in my humble opinion, one of Godzilla's weakest directors. He can't film action in a way that is captivating, or at least entertaining. It's either cluttered, like the opening battle with Rodan, or fooling around with plasma guns. Perhaps the only interesting thing is the strength of Mechagodzilla, who clearly outclasses his opponent in battle (thanks to a special weapon that wires Godzilla's nervous system and uses electrical impulses to damage it), which is unusual in this franchise. The final battle between Mechagodzilla, Rodan and Godzilla makes up for the weak impression, the omnipresent deadly pathos is amusing, but I wasn’t excited this time.

Yes, the movie "Gojira VS Mekagojira" is childish, at times very naive, but at the same time it is absolutely fantastic action-packed and gives the viewer of kaiju films exactly what they expect. Great monster battles that are unbelievably long and excellently executed. The effects are beautiful and you are just waiting to see what other fighting trick some monster will come up with, or what will happen next. For me, this is an example of a popcorn kaiju movie that you would like to see in the cinema. It will entertain you and keep you on the edge of your seat, that's what this film guarantees.
