Giant Beetle power!
21 May 1999
Many Godzilla fans don't care for this outing, but in my opinion, Megalon is one of the best monsters ever devised by Eiji Tsuburaya's team. Who wouldn't want drill-hands and a talent for spitting burning rocks? Besides, this movie is a good excuse to bring back Gigan, who makes great use of his buzzsaw; he and Megalon make a truly impressive team, and the special effects are better than they're made out to be. Not that there aren't flaws. For example: Jet Jaguar. That hunk of scrap metal loses so often he's not even worth mentioning in the same breath as Godzilla. And let's not mention the little kid! We have a new champion for Most Annoying Character in film history!
