Review of Godzilla vs. Megalon

Where to begin??? This is one of the more obscure entries in the ginormous Godzilla franchise, and one of the campier, cheesier ones, so it's not too popular among serious fans. I'm a minor or medium fan, so that doesn't apply to me, really. Godzilla vs. Megalon actually is one of my personal favs. But before launching into it, the back story about how I found this movie...I was at the Salvation Army, looking around. I really hadn't found anything, and was looking through the last of the videos and at the very end: Godzilla vs. Megalon was there! I'd heard about it online the day before (it's apparently Dav Pilkey's favorite movie) and I thought, why not. So. Here's the plot. There's a nifty little intro about a nuke test (according to the narrator it's "on a small island near the Allusions" (I don't know where that is or even if I heard him right)) that disturbs life on Monster Island. We then see our main characters: an inventor, his happy-go-lucky buddy, and an annoying kid the English dialog calls "Roxanne." They witness an earthquake and then drive off in a speedy car, accompanied by the world's most obnoxious music. They get home and are beat up by Bluto and Oscar Wilde look-a-likes who broke in. After some pointless stuff involving red sand and a car chase with more weird music, the inventor finishes his latest creation: a goofy grinning robot called Jet Jaguar. The burglars break in again and take control of JJ and send him to a field. It turns out they are in league with the evil Seatopians. Their monster, Megalon, comes and is led to Tokyo by JJ, where he wrecks stuff. The inventor regains control of JJ and sends him to get Godzilla. JJ then returns and fights Megalon. Gigan comes and he and Megalon kick the crud out of JJ. Godzilla comes, wins, and we wrap up the movie with a goofy "Jetto Jaga" theme song. Well, that covers it. Enjoy, but grab a pillow just in case.
