Considering he's seen the super-cut fullscreen version (CM's version is already out!), and assuming there was nothing trivia-worthy (like how Titanosaurus was supposed to be a 2-in-1 creature, and the final battle was to take place entirely in Tokyo, rather than the cost-effective countryside), this is the weakest of the reviews. There's a LOT more he could've gone into in this review (though it's not impossible for him to redo it). For instance, the wicked bloody violence, the aliens' true forms (they're deformed humans, as opposed to the apes from the first Mechagodzilla film), the confusingly excised suicide scene/finale, and the one thing Godzilla fans cannot get over: This is the first Godzilla film with BOOBIES!!! (Fake boobies, but boobies nonetheless.)
