“Godzilla vs. Megalon” is a film so absurd that you will no doubt laugh at a lot of it. It delivers the ridiculous action that the franchise is famous for but there are parts of the movie that are not very entertaining. Fans will no doubt have some fun but a lot of people are going to be left scratching their heads.

When the existence of the underground civilisation of Seatopia is threatened by nuclear testing, they summon Megalon and Gigan to teach the world above a lesson. With Japan in the crosshairs of the giant monsters’ attacks, Godzilla must team up with a robot by the name of Jet Jaguar to save the day.

The human characters are rarely intriguing and the ones in “Godzilla vs. Megalon” are quite bland. One of them is an inventor, who built Jet Jaguar. It’s great seeing Godzilla fight multiple monsters. It’s also nice to Gigan return because he was one of the more interesting looking monsters. Megalon is okay. Jet Jaguar is a hilarious addition. Watching Godzilla and Jet Jaguar join forces to battle Megalon and Gigan is really fun. It’s a shame that we do not see more of the monsters in the movie because we end up spending way too much time with the humans.

“Godzilla vs. Megalon” contains some of the most amusing giant monster fight scenes ever put to film. However, much of the movie is a real bore. It’s not one of the more well-rounded “Godzilla” films but it’s certainly not among the weakest entries in the series either. Fans of the “Godzilla” franchise might want to check this one out but I imagine a lot of people will find only limited enjoyment from this film. It’s a shame that Jet Jaguar has not been in more movies.
