Not a very popular nor an excellent Kaijû Eiga (the story is too classic and cliché, maybe it's a satire so it's maybe on purpose but not sure), but still entertaining and funny !
Entertaining because you see a lot the men in rubber suits destroying plastic stuff as buildings and tanks for example, and the humans part are not really boring.
Funny because how cheap the special effects are (they didn't have as much money as Toho studios I guess), the way the monsters look (did Godzilla had babies with Rodan ? According to the french title of the movie it's not impossible) and how the woman photographer is considered by her colleague : He tells her something like "be a normal woman and stay at the kitchen and go change baby diapers" (and that's exactly what she's going to do at the end of the movie by the way, feminists should definitely not watch this movie to avoid a heart attack).
The end with the baby Gappa learning how to fly is ridiculously fun too, it reminds me of Minilla learning how to spit fire in one of the "Godzilla" movies...
If you like Kaijû movies and having a good laugh give it a try !
