4.5/10

Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle takes some promising ingredients, but cooks them into an unpalatable meal.

3.5/5

Second in the new anime Godzilla trilogy, this film centres on an attempt to reclaim Earth from a monster bigger than any seen before. A lot of strategizing and philosophising... but it does get very exciting!

"Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle" is a great second part for the trilogy, which surpasses the first part almost in all aspects, while the progression of the story cannot but leave the audience hungry for more.

2/5

It feels like the middle third of a story, no doubt; but the middle-third of, like, a 100-minute story, not a middle-third that is 100 minutes in and of itself.

3/5

(Written by James Perkins) An interesting but ultimately slow sequel that somehow still manages to set up for a thrilling finale. Definitely for hardcore fans rather than newcomers.

Dialogue heavy (again), boring, Mechagodzilla doesn’t appear, the Mothra twins are there but Mothra never appears at all, a 1/2 is way too high, the worst Godzilla movie ever made.

I just wish we could see some action for Mechagodzilla, but it was still pretty good though

[!SPOILER ALERT!] It was ok. I'd say that the mechagodzilla vs Godzilla fight was underwhelming. I know that the whole thing is that the main main character has to choose between destroying mechagodzilla and Godzilla escaping or Godzilla and mechagodzilla spreading. But I just felt that it could have been more focused on mechagodzilla fighting Godzilla rather than enhanced mechs of mechagodzilla fighting Godzilla. I thought mechagodzilla would pull some sort of metroplex auto or city stuff but the final battle is mainly just the main character making a choice between his friend and destroying mechagodzilla. [SPOILER ALERT OVER] (btw the rotten tomatoes code of conduct was being an annoying female dog while I was writing this review only allowing me to post this after I removed the opposite word of climactic from my review so ya, moderation 1/5 stars)

So Much Potential That Was Wasted. Mechagodzilla Has Awesome Abilities In The Movie But Is Barely Onscreen!!! They Could've Used Him A Lot In This Movie But Instead, They Used a Stinky Stupid City Filled With DUMB Domes!!! It's Very Annoying!! Once Again This Movie Could've Been Much More And Is HORRIBLE!!! Overall 2/10
