This 1975 movie titled "The Terror of Mechagodzilla" wasn't exactly an outstanding chapter in the long, long "Godzilla" franchise. But still, I was given the chance to watch it, and since I hadn't already seen it, of course I took the time to sit down and watch it.
I wasn't particularly entertained though with what transpired on the screen. There was a whole lot of focus on the human story aspect of the movie, which was just boring. I don't sit down to watch the human drama in the "Godzilla" movies, no. I want to watch kaiju action, battles and destruction. And there wasn't enough of that going on in this movie.
You essentially know what you are getting with this 1975 movie from directors Ishirô Honda and Jun Fukuda. But then again, all these movies in the franchise seem to follow that particular same blueprint, now don't they?
"The Terror of Mechagodzilla" failed to make itself outstanding in the overwhelming amount of movies that already exist in the franchise. So it essentially just drowned in the masses and became just another movie added to the long list of movies to make the legacy of "Godzilla".
This is hardly a "Godzilla" movie that I will be returning to watch a second time around. And my rating of it lands on a very mediocre five out of ten stars.
