The first Godzilla film I ever watched and the last in the Showa Series. Original director Ishiro Honda also directed this which explains why it has a darker tone to the previous films. Now obviously this is the follow up to the first mechagodzilla film and I what I like about this one is how it tried to add a bit more depth to some of it's characters and story. Now it does take a while to build up and arguably spends too much time on the Titanosaurus side of things but the monster action still manages to deliver when it finally comes and I have to give credit to Akihiko Hirata (Dr Serizawa in the orignal Gojira) who manages to show the broadness of his acting by playing a different kind if professor role than he usually does. Overall it's an enjoyable final entry in the Showa series.
