Title: Dull
Product review: Godzilla shows up, the government builds Mechagodzilla (here called Kiryu for some reason), and they fight. The subpar special effects, dull plot, slow pacing, and forgettable characters make this a dud. The new Mechagodzilla is visually unimpressive and does not move the way a giant robot would, unlike the superior 1993 version, which actually looked metallic. The concept of Kiryu being built around the bones of the 1954 Godzilla was interesting, but not explored to any real depth. While the Kiryu-gone-wild sequence is well-done, everything else about the film is utterly inept. Why did Toho keep bringing back Masaaki Tezuka to direct these films?
