"When you purchase a Godzilla movie pre-1975, you have to know what you are getting into. Now, I'm a big Godzilla fan from the old days of 75 and back, but not to the degree of some people. Some people treat these like the STAR WARS series or LORD OF THE RINGS. I haven't even seen all of the 'Zilla flicks yet and I haven't seen any that were made in the last 10 years with the exception of some movie that looked like JURASSIC PARK: NEW YORK starring Matthew Broderick. I don't watch these flicks expecting to see some sort of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA epic or PULP FICTION type storyline.

It is what it is. A low budget, Japanese flick that let's your imagination wonder off a bit and sort of get into the character of Godzilla. Which is another beauty of these movies. You probably don't give a crap about the human characters, you only want to see Godzilla do his things, all the while making hilarious gestures or kicking some other monsters butt.

Which leads to Godzilla vs. Megalon. This has always been one of my favorites because you get everything in this one. Terrible acting (I mean TERRIBLE, there is at least 5 or 6 really bad directing and acting mistakes), awful special effects, hideous dubbing, an annoying little kid, the most comical car chase scene in the history of cinema, cursing, a hilarious fight scene, a mini bike the size of a coffee can, and a great little tune at the end of the movie. It is great for any Godzilla fan.

"An amazing epic without comparison!!!
Seatopia invades the Earth with MEGALON!!!
Space Hunter Nebula M aids the invasion with the monster GIGAN!!
The Godzilla suit is beat up & childish...in other words PERFECT!!!
At barely an hour long this quite possibly could be a flawless film!!
"Robot vs. Aztec Mummy" is the only comparison for so much adventure in such a short running time...AMAZING!!!"
