************* Full of shortcomings. (..) At least Tokyo is not ravaged again.

this shows this person hasn't even watched the movie, because Tokyo is the first target of the monsters.
I think it's a pretty decent monster movie. We're in the 70's and the clothing & hairdo remember us of the era, and of the typical Japanese cartoon heroes.
Most people sound overly concerned with the plot, acting or inaccuracies...if you want state of the art acting, go see a Shakespeare play at a big theatre and for flawless special effects (ehm...or nearly so ) look for Hollywood big budget pyrotechnics, not some C low budget Japanese movie. If you want a A+ plot, read Zola, Kafka, Baudelaire.
I think it's a good movie in its genre. The plot goes beyond one-liners about bombs dropped in the ocean and winks to Bond movies (the bad guys all dress the same way). At least there is an attempt at plot depth.
again, i think Hitchcock-styled plots would have been waaay out of question in a monster movie where the main heroes are uncredited men in rubber suit.
The story makes sense enough and the fight scenes are good. The plot is interesting for such a movie: it is easy and rather enjoyable; there are subplots but they don't get in the way. The general atmosphere is one of a B series Bond movie, with some decent suspense (genre-wise).
