This film is a dud. After the impressive Godzilla: King of the Monsters, came this dull, boring sequel.
Two stupid pilots find another Godzilla creature battling a spiky monster, later named Anguirus. They report the news to the leaders in Osaka. The military tries to lure Godzilla away from Japan with flares, but thanks to some dimwitted escaped prisoners, Godzilla is lured TOWARD japan, by a raging oil fire.
Godzilla fights Anguirus again and whips the stupid thing in an oddly shot fight (usually the giant monster scenes are shot in slo-mo so they appear a little realistic. Here they are apparently shot real time). Godzilla leaves and the Japanese military follows, burying Godzilla under massive mounds of snow and ice (like that’s going to stop him after countless artillery shells and tank rounds fail?).
Throughout the film Godzilla is refered to as Gigantis and rarely is his trademark roar heard. Most of the time he sounds like Anguirus.
Anguirus would later appear in Godzilla vs Gigan & Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (as a good guy in both), both of which are more enjoyable than this dud.
I didn’t care a lick for the characters and found myself very bored, desiring the end to come quickly. A real letdown after the initial entry, this one is notable only in the fact it cointains the first monster battle of the series.

This is slagar the cruel again also known currently as narku junior.
This was the first movie that was shot as sequel to the original godzilla. It is also the last godzilla movie every made in black and white and was also rarelt every shown on tv in the united states even scifi channel and turner classic movies rarely every brodcast this. I also thought I’d inform you that this is not the dvd formated version I’m review this is a quick time video format version of the movie that is broken up into 14 segment last about 2 to 6 minutes each that was download on two you tube a couple of years ago. I highly recommend you get the dvd and do not copy and paste the links on too your computer unless you have a really big hard drive of at least 5 gigabites in size or big these videos will take up alot of memory if you copy the whole movie it will take over 50 kilibites of your memoryy to paste one whole copy of the movie on your desktop if it’s broken up in to segments. In this movie godzilla and a new monter angilas threaten Japan. Can the japanese forces once again save all of Japan and the rest of the world from otter destruction find out in the thrilling conclusion. Due to midl scifi action violence this movie might not be appropriate or may be questionable to kids under ten years of age depending on what there parents our guardians thinks is appropriate for them. I also thought I would inform you that this not the final film the are twenty 21 other films after this exclude the american godzilla made by the creatures of independence and all the godzilla movies in the millenium series that would be Godzilla 2000 to Godzilla Final War. In addition for the American version Godzilla name was altered fromn goldzilla to Gigantisis for the american version then was changed back to godzilla for all the films that follow after it. If you buy this take good care of it because if you try to sell it one day it could be worth over 20 dollars if conbtains the japanese and american version of the movie and it’s in really good condition and the people you sell it to don’t ripp you off.

Okay, the movie itself isn’t THAT bad, but it was completely ruined by the dubbing. GIGANTIS? GET REAL! what kind of name is THAT? WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CALL GODZILLA GIGANTIS? WHY? WHY? And WHY does Godzilla sound like Anguirus?!
This film could have been good, but due to the poor acting, the fact that Godzilla sounds like Anguirus more than himself, the fact that Godzilla’s origin was changed from being a Godzillasaurus turned into a mutant dinosaur because of the atomic bomb testing to being a species of a “fire monster”, and (worst of all) the fact that Godzilla is called GIGANTIS!!!! Gigantis. What kind of idiot decided to call Godzilla GIGANTIS?! What kind of name is THAT?!
i really hope that someday, I’ll find the japenease version of the film, so I won’t have to hear my favorite monster’s name changed to a moron’s name.
I really do expect better from a Godzilla movie.
