Film Review: Terror of Mechagodzilla

Image result for terror of mechagodzilla

Release date: March 15th 1975 (Japanese release), March 1978 (American release).

Story: After the events of the previous film, the Black Hole aliens rebuilt Mechagodzilla with the help from a scientist Shinzo Mafune, who was humiliatingly dismissed of the science committee for his discovery of a giant aquatic dinosaur named Titanosaurus and a way of controlling it. So both Mafune and the aliens decided to team up and get their revenge by destroying all of mankind. Can Godzilla be able to defeat both Mechagodzilla and Titanosaurus all by himself and save the world? Watch the movie to find out.

My thoughts: This was the first movie to have Godzilla go up against multiple monsters by himself (the others include Godzilla: Final Wars and 2014 Godzilla). The Japanese title translates to Mechagodzilla's counter attack. This was the final film in the Godzilla Showa series and Godzilla won't make another big screen appearance until 1984's Return of Godzilla (a.k.a Godzilla 1985). This is an another amazing movie and it's a must have for Godzilla fans. But this movie is labelled as Certificate 15. So its for older viewers only.

My score: Four stars.
