Right, well I can tick off another of the classic "Godzilla" movies, as I have watched the 1974 "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" (aka "Gojira tai Mekagojira").
And while this was hardly an outstanding addition to the franchise, it definitely was watchable. And yes, it does follow that blueprint that they used for every single "Godzilla" movie they made. Godzilla takes on the fight against one or more other kaiju creatures - and wins, of course - while there is a side story about the humans, a side story which hardly matters.
There wasn't really enough of kaiju action in this movie for my liking, so I found the movie to be a bit boring, truth be told. And I can't really claim to have found the storyline all that interesting either.
Visually, well the movie was from 1974, so you will not be blown away by a myriad of grandiose special effects. But these simple and practical special effects that they used in these old movies is part of the charm, so you know what you are getting on this front.
All in all, "Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla" turned out to be a mediocre movie experience for the franchise. And as such, my rating is five out of ten stars.
