Godzilla vs. Gigan
Secretive Aliens, Rogue Lovable Characters and Kaijus! While there are plenty of faults with Godzilla vs Gigan, it holds a certain charm that you will be willing to forgive.

Gengo Kotaka (Hiroshi Ishikawa), a manga artist, gets embroiled in intergalactic conflict when he spots Machiko Shima (Tomoko Umeda) running away with a tape from the creators of Children’s Land. After some digging, he finds that the creators of Children’s Land are no ordinary human beings and are hiding some secret.

Surprisingly, the human story is the best part of the film. The film invites you in with a plot that piques your curiosity. Why is Shima running away from the originators of an amusement park? What is the big deal about a tape? The characters are also well-developed, like there is a concerned sister, a rebellious brother, and a manga artist who finds himself in a plot that is way above his pay grade.

There are some unintentionally funny bits, like the talking bubble that pops up whenever Godzilla shows up and the obvious toy that has been used to showcase flying Gigan and King Ghidorah. The effects were way better in the previous film. There is the character of Tomoko Tomoe (Yuriko Hishimi), who is so good at beating people up. What makes it hilarious is that she is never built as a tough person in her introductory scenes; she just comes in and saves the day in the middle of the film, which makes you go, ‘Wait, what? ' This is what I meant when I said that this film has a certain charm that will make you forgive its faults.
