A direct sequel to “Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla”. This one improves upon its predecessor by giving us more action and by throwing Mothra in the mix. The previous one felt a little tame but this one delivers the goods.

After the last battle with Godzilla, Mechagodzilla was in need of some serious repair work. The nation of Japan desperately wants the robot fixed in case Godzilla attacks again. However, Mothra wants Mechagodzilla destroyed as she will defend Japan from Godzilla. It all leads to an epic confrontation between all three monsters with the fate of the nation being decided by them.

Godzilla looks really good still and I like having him as a bad guy here. The Mechagodzilla here looks impressive too. Like I said in my “Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla” review, I still preferred it when Mechagodzilla was evil rather than being controlled by the humans to save the day. It’s great seeing Mothra yet again. There are plenty of human characters but I felt like the movie knew to keep enough of the focus on the monsters. We have three giant monsters here; we don’t need a ton of information about all the human characters. I’m glad the filmmakers clearly knew that.

It may not win awards for having the best story or anything like that but when the monster carnage starts, “Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.” really packs a punch. It’s so satisfying to see all three monsters battling and knocking over everything. I think that there are some “Godzilla” films that are better but this one certainly gives you a lot of action. If you are a fan of “Godzilla” movies then make sure to check this one out. It’s not essential that you watch “Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla” but you may want to just so you fully understand everything that’s going on here.
