Although the miniatures are well crafted, the lighting and camera angles really do nothing to sell the illusion of scale, so they all just look like well crafted miniatures.

Tezuka's films feel more like competent fan-films than actual movies to me. Megaguirus is incompetent on a lot of levels (maybe the worst looking Godzilla film ever) but has fun bits, like the final battle between Godzilla and Megaguirus. Tokyo SOS is the most technically accomplished, the best looking, but it also feels the most like a fan film - copying sections from other films, introducing some potentially interesting character setups then utterly failing to do anything with them. It feels almost empty.

I think Godzilla x Mechagodzilla may win the top spot: it's a tight movie with a solid structure and a neat idea (Godzilla's bones being made into Mechagodzilla) in its center... but at the same time I think the other two films stand out more. It wins by default.

Against Mechagodzilla is just too rushed. Nothing is given any time to develop.

Tokyo SOS is quite possibly my least favorite Godzilla movie ever. It's just bland, sloppy and meandering. I have only once succeeded in watching the whole movie in a single sitting, and I'm basically incapable of retaining anything that happens after the first half hour or so.

For me, Tezuka falls in line with Okawara as one of the more by the numbers returning directors in the series... Megaguirus is one of my least favorite installments, but I have come to like the Kiryu films more over time. I think they pair nicely actually, GXMG establishes the world and has some satisfying monster action, allowing GMMG to jump headfirst into the action, which is alright with me. Looking back, despite his blander faults as a director, I wish Toho had gotten him to do the 50th anniversary film.

Took me awhile to wrap this up, but make sure to check out my other Godzilla director threads -
