Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla
“Startup - Resonance - Smashed Ice.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 55, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Japan builds Kiryu from the original Godzilla's remains and discovers that its new defence system has unresolved history. A pilot's personal struggle gives the mechanical-monster conflict a human thread. The first hour is restrained, but the eventual effects work rewards patient kaiju fans.
