8/10
Mixed thoughts but I still really enjoyed it

Just yesterday I watched Godzilla vs Biollante for the first time and I absolutely loved that film. So coming into the next installment of the Heisei franchise, I had high expectations and I would say I like it

Story/Plot- 6/10

It had plenty of potential, it fact this film was going in the right direction and before the last 20 minutes I was planning on giving this a 9/10 but it really messed up in the last chunk because all the sudden Godzilla is a bad guy? King Ghidorah is somehow alive after getting one of his heads destroyed and damaged wings which he stayed like that for 200 years in a cold ocean? The time travel thing got a bit confusing at the end because why is Emmy being flirty with her ancestor? Why do they change languages multiple times? Eh?

Characters-9/10

I cannot express how much I enjoyed M-11 android because this robot is just full of unexpected surprises and action scene with him was just hysterically hilarious. Kind of reminds me of the spy guy from the previous film. The rest of the cast were great and I did enjoy them

CGI/Shots- 7/10

Expecting from a film that came in 1991, it was no shock that a lot of the CGI here is just horribly dated looking but the new design for King Ghidorah is pretty awesome and even though it's more of a Godzilla vs Biollante thing. I just freaking love heisei Godzilla's design. With the right lighting he just looks so scary and beast-like and he has some amazing shots

Monsters/action-8/10

The main attraction of Godzilla films are of course, the monster mayhem. I really enjoyed Godzilla's confrontation with the original King Ghidorah in Hokkaido and of course M-11, Emmy, and Tasaki's battle of the ship was just hilarious. But once again, they messed up in the last chunk because Mecha King Ghidorah's fight with Godzilla wasn't really that interesting because Mecha King Ghidorah still was losing badly even with 23rd century technology but Super X back in 1985 managed to knock down Godzilla with 20th century technology so that's that

Overall this film was going in the right direction until the last 20 minutes but you know what? Because of M-11 Android is in this film, I will rate this a 8/10

Final rating: 8.2/10.
