To me, Mechagozilla only makes sense when it's being controlled by Ghidorah's (Kevin?) brain waves or some malevolent AI. Using it as just a giant mech that's remote controlled by some human or alien never had the same sense of conflict. The entity needs to have a sense of self as well as personal motivation or animosity towards Godzilla.


I dont disagree, but it's a fun change up to see Mechagodzilla as the good guy. I think it would be a good watch for a kid.

I'd say dubbed with kids involved. A lot of children don't like subtitles.

King Kong Escapes is a classic (1967) of the genre with Mechani - Kong.

Avoid the 1998 Iguanazilla movie for as long as you can.

It’s not Godzilla but sure, a decent big monster flick.

Might I also add the two cartoons one was a spin off of the awful 1998 movie but still good while the other came out in the 70s and well was pretty much a product of its time with how cheesy it was but it did have this goofy bastard

I would start with Return of Godzilla (Godzilla 1985) through Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.
