The movie earns 5 stars for the Godzilla fight action. There's a lot of good monster fighting.
The rest of the movie is crap. The plot is a mishmash: it's as if two or more people wrote two or more stories, then someone threw the pages up and collected them in a jumbled order.
Godzilla laid her egg in a Pteranodon nest. Rodon therefore thinks baby Godzilla is its brother or baby...or something. Huh? What? If Rodon and Godzilla are both trying to get back their baby (or brother or something), then what's the jeopardy? Why is baby in trouble? Just let the monster take the baby home.
Mecha G fires some kind of big beam from its belly. The beam is called a grenade. HUH? One of the central characters is a self proclaimed Pteranodon enthusiast. There are far too many scenes featuring him and his flying bike, his weird efforts to woo a girl, and his piloting of a failed Godzilla killing vehicle.
There's an American scientist who speaks lines as if he's reading them for the first time. By that I mean reading anything for the first time. He's even worse than the other actors in the movie.
Rodon, who was fighting Godzilla earlier, sacrifices its life to revive Godzilla's hip brain. Why? What? Huh? The Godzilla Buster weapon, designed to kill Godzilla's hip brain, is the same taser-like weapon that failed earlier in the movie. For some odd reason the anti Godzilla forces give it a special name when all they're doing is aiming it at a different spot on Godzilla. It would be like calling a gun a "Person Destroyer" if you aim at the hip.
Speaking of the harpoon electric wires, why can the harpoons penetrate Godzilla's hide? Nothing can stop Godzilla except big spears? Some plants sing a song that empowers baby Godzilla and Rodan. But despite the egg being covered by the plants, and apparently Godzilla's and Rodan's island covered with them, baby G and Rodan don't get empowered by the song until some weird psychic kids sing it.
Mechagodzilla is much better as an enemy controlled by evil villains than as a weapon people use to fight Godzilla. The original Mechagodzilla and Terror of Mechagodzilla are much better than this movie.
