Just another Godzilla film, fun production design and effects though

Not as deep and smart as the original but still a solid kaiju movie

Drags after the fight between Godzilla and Anguirus. There's more craftsmanship than other Godzilla sequels, but feels like it's just there.

This sequel doesn’t live up to the complexity and intelligence of the first film. Anguirus is cool though

Not as important as the first and the fight scenes aren’t great. However it still takes itself seriously and is the last Showa film to do so

A disappointing follow up to the groundbreaking Gojira. It did introduce the idea of the big G fighting another giant creature. Just okay.

Notable for being the first of many sequels in this long-running franchise. By itself, though, it's ultimately a forgettable film.

One of my least-favorite Godzilla films.

Lacks the originals nuance and depth. There isn’t the same reflection to be had.

Sad that the first Godzilla sequel is also one of the worst
