Gorillas?

Warning: Spoilers
A lot of people or at least a fair number of people seem to enjoy this movie. I, for one, found it to be not good at all. The best thing is probably how they set up Mechagodzilla. Originally, we first see Godzilla show up and destroy buildings for no reason and even attack a fellow monster. It turns out this was actually Mechagodzilla in disguise! It was created by aliens who at first appear human. When the aliens die, they suddenly turn into gorillas. Yeah, that's a really silly effect. Their faces are covered in this green ooze that morphs them into gorillas. I guess that was their true form?

It especially gets silly during the climax. There's another monster named King Caesar who is prophesized to defeat Mechagodzilla. King Caesar resembles a giant gorilla thing with big ears. I don't know what the aim of that design was. Apart from that, Anguirus doesn't appear after the beginning. I felt bad for that guy. It's just a movie that for me is mostly crowded with goofy scenes but at least we get some good fights with the monsters, particularly in the beginning with Godzilla. I just found it too silly. **
