I love that MechaGodzilla., 28 February 2003
7/10
Author: Aaron1375 from Alabama

I always thought MechaGodzilla was the coolest monster Godzilla fought. He shoots lasers, missiles, and can fly. This is his first appearance in a Godzilla movie. Created by aliens who turn into guys wearing fake monkey masks when killed they send MechaGodzilla to take care of all the people. It clobbers that one armadillo like monster that sometimes pals with Godzilla then it fights Godzilla. At this point it looks exactly like Godzilla until the aliens hit a switch, which burns of the skin, and MechaGodzilla is revealed. They have a brief fight where Godzilla is apparently killed and the robot is a bit messed up as well. What I don't understand is why the aliens need a human to put the robot back together. In the end MechaGodzilla gets his act together and the heroes awaken this stupid fuzzy monster that is quite ineffective against MechaGodzilla. You know who though shows up just in time though.
