Amazon.com: Japan's favorite city-wrecker faces his most formidable enemy--a robot version of himself--in this sci-fi adventure, which packs enough action to satisfy fans of giant-creature brawls. As with the previous films in the unofficial "Godzilla Millennium" series (which reinvented the Toho canon following the release of Godzilla 2000), Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla dismisses all of the monster's previous rampages after its initial appearance in 1954, including his three showdowns with MechaGodzilla. Here, the massive robot is constructed using DNA from the 1954 Godzilla (still moldering in Tokyo Bay) to combat a new one that threatens Japan. Director Maasaki Tezuki (Godzilla vs. Megaguirus) favors action over story, which may displease hardcore Godzilla fans, but the battles are spectacular, and clips from older Toho titles like Mothra and War of the Gargantuas are always a welcome sight (as is a cameo by the Yankees' Hideki Matsui!). As with other Columbia-TriStar Godzilla DVDs, this widescreen disc offers viewers two language options: the original Japanese dialogue track (with English or French subtitles) and an English-dubbed track. --Paul Gaita
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla Another great DVD,Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. Purchased this DVD to add to my Grandsons Godzilla Movie Collection. Enjoyed this DVD!
One of the best godzilla films out there I know Mechagodzilla has been in alot of movies but what are the people of Japan to do when a giant monster attacks them? make bigger bombs? better weapons? leave godzilla alone? ofcourse not, the answer is obvious to everyone. You build a giant robot version of the thing you want to beat... All that said its a fun movie and well worth a watch.
Great looking Godzilla..... Godzilla sure look cool and mean and the special effects are much better than previous versions. I really wanted to enjoy this film, but the english dubbing is the worst ive heard in all Godzilla movies that ive watched. It sure did not match the emotions from the screen..but we know that, but what takes the cake, it the little girl's voice seems to be from a adult imitating a little girl. The results are so unimpressive that i had to foward the movie to get past her. How can someone created such good movies and dont care about the quality about the dubbing that can change the outlook of a movie. This has been going on for a long time. Too bad studios that release movies dont care about the dubbing of their treasures once they go international. If i made a movie, i would make sure to oversee all dubbing applications and their results to make sure my film would retain quality in international markets....
The best Godzilla film of the 21st century This movie is great. If you're a Godzilla fan, this is what you have been waiting for. It's got a lot of great action scenes, surprisingly good special effects, and a human element that you can give a crap about but at the same time doesn't get in the way of the monsters doing their thing. If Toho had made more Godzilla films like this one, maybe they wouldn't have had to send the franchise back into retirement.
Who knows when we'll see Godzilla in a movie again, but at least for now, we've got Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla.
Strange, yet good It was not too long before I watched this movie that I had seen Godzilla v.s. Megaguirus, So I was hoping it would be the same Godzilla, so when I saw that his heat beam wasn't red, I was very dissapointed. Still, MechaG (as he is called) is absolutely incredible. The most streamlined and most Godzilla-like Mecha-Godzilla ever. But it's a little too much like godzilla X Megaguirus. Still, It's good, but not as good as Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S. Get this movie
