Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S

Nearly humorless, thrill deprived and directed with all the passion of an industrial film this 2003 entry in the original G's screen assualt will appeal mostly to hardcore fans and young kids with low expectations.

As astounding as this will sound; Godzilla is on his way to attack Tokyo again and there's virtually nothing the hapless government can do about it. Cutting edge stuff eh? They have Mecha-Godzilla but he's broken - luckily for citizen's of Japan Mothra is obsessed with burying at sea the 'Zilla bones that MechaG is built around. Whatever, at least we get a few scenes with those kawaii fairy chicks - the singing one's who rep Mothra - oh yeah.

The effects here are fairly mediocre - Mothra'a pretty cool though and there's nothing quite like seeing one of MothDaddie's kiddies sucking of Godzilla's tail. Priceless. The human's are barely adequate which does the turgid script no favors.
