Lesser known Godzilla movie, the first sequel which holds up very well. The tone is similarly grim and downbeat though not quite as hopeless as the first movie - this one is more an army film as the Japanese defence force especially the air force do their thing. It's actually a little unsettling to watch the pilots at work.
Godzilla gets his first non human enemy - Anguiris, who has been forgotten in time... I think because he doesn't do much, just sort of fights Godzilla, gets killed, and allows Godzilla to go on his rampage.
Great scenes like the pilots crashed on the island trying to get off in time. There's a prison truck hijack and Gozilla is buried in snow which is interesting. Solid acting, plenty of dinosaur action - I mean, there's heaps. This should be better known.
