collazorudy This movie was okay not the best but good for any Godzilla fan it's a bit more of a goofy movie but at least the big G came to save the day.

a_chinn This one is strictly for the kids, but it's still fun if you enjoy rubber suited actors destroying miniature sets (which I do). Megalon, a giant beetle from the sea, and Gigan, a praying mantis-like giant monster, are dead set on squishing puny humans. Enter size-shifting robot Jet Jaguar, who enlists the help of Godzilla to battle the two evil Kaiju. Jet Jaguar was the result of a contest Toho held where kids entered their idea for a new superhero and Jet was the winning entry by an elementary age student who was clearly a fan of Ultraman. Considered by many as one of the weakest Godzilla films, this is certainly among the corniest and the most juvenile of the many films, but I'll admit that I was entertained.

Mopkin TheHopkin Godzilla vs. Megalon is widely considered the worst Godzilla film ever made. One can certainly see why. The film follows three individuals: one a robotics scientist, the second, the scientists friend I think, and the third, his son. The three have been working to build a robot, who they dub Jet Jaguar, for no discernible reason. Why would you call a rainbow coloured humanoid robot Jet Jaguar? Anyway.People from the sunken continent of Seatopia kidnap Jet Jaguar to use as a guide for there giant but kind of stupid sea monster, Megalon, so they can get revenge on America for testing nuclear bombs off of Alaska, which accidentally blew up part of their civilization. How are they going to get revenge? By leading Megalon to Tokyo! That makes sense. (It doesn't). Stuff happens, and Jet Jaguar grows really big because he may be sentient, and not a machine (?) and wants to help his masters. Godzilla comes down for about 20 minutes and tag teams with Jet Jaguar in a fight against Megalon and Gigan, who shows up because. This films plot is an incomprehensible mess, as you probably can tell. It makes very little sense. Godzilla is also in this movie for a very brief period, and the film centres on the three robotics scientists and Jet Jaguar. Also, Jet Jaguar has his own theme song, which is quite awesome (read hilariously silly). The production values is incredibly spotty, the acting is poor and the plot and story area a mess.Even so, this film is one of those "so bad it's good" style films. Godzilla slides on his tail, through the air, to kick one of his foes at one point. He also gives Jet Jaguar the peace sign. It was good. The beginning half of the film is pretty standard/mediocre, as we follow the scientists around as they do unimportant things. The monster battle is hilarious. I can't say much else really.This isn't a film that will offer any depth or edge. It's just a goofy mess of a movie. One of my guilty pleasures for sure, and that makes it redeemable in my eyes. If you are into Godzilla, Kaiju or camp, this is a film to watch.

Leofwine_draca The 1970s-era Godzilla movies were certainly entertaining: trashy, colourful, full of fight spectacle and insane plots featuring outlandish villains determined to destroy mankind. GODZILLA VS. MEGALON is a case in point, a thoroughly enjoyable follow-up to GODZILLA VS. GIGAN that sees the return of an old foe and the addition of a monstrous new one.The crazy storyline sees an undersea kingdom deciding to get revenge on mankind after their world is disturbed by nuclear blasts. To this end they send out Megalon, a giant insect-type creature who wreaks impressive havoc on some miniature sets. Thankfully, the scientist heroes have an ace up their sleeve: Jet Jaguar, an Ultraman rip-off who uses his robotic prowess to beat up on the bad guys.The child-focused storyline is fast-paced and inventive and leads to plenty of colourful set-pieces as various monsters battle it out for supremacy. The violent Gigan was a personal favourite of mine so it's great to see his return here, and Megalon too is a winner. But the cheerful Jet Jaguar is my favourite part of the film; this guy was apparently designed by a schoolkid as part of a competition, and it's a shame he only appears in this movie. The film descends into a lengthy and messy brawl at the end which is a real highlight of Godzilla action.
