Godzilla ist zurück und muss sich diesmal einem dreiköpfigen Monster stellen. Interessanterweise muss er den Kampf nicht alleine antreten, sondern bekommt Hilfe von zwei Kreaturen die er in früheren Filmen selbst bekämpft hat und zwar Mothra und Rodan. Eigentlich beste Vorraussetzungen für einen gel ... ungenen Monsterfilm, tretten doch gleich vier Kreaturen auf, doch leider verrennt sich der Film in zu vielen Belanglosigkeiten, bevor man eines der Monster zu sehen bekommt und bevor die Monster überhaupt gegeneinander antreten. Auch der finale Kampf ist dann leider viel zu schnell vorbei, lange, bevor er überhaupt seine Faszination entfalten kann. So bleibt man als Zuschauer doch ein wenig enttäuscht zurück. [Sneakfilm.de]
