This film, along with "Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster" were commonly shown back to back on late night television in the 1990's. I've seen it multiple times, and while it's not really practical in the way of Godzilla films, it's still got some pretty neat aspects. Instead of a single giant monster, we have a race of giant Mantises, as well as a single massive spider that lives on the island. Why Godzilla is there is a bit of a mystery, nor where the egg that Minya hatches from is ever really revealed. We don't even know for sure if it is truly the "son of Godzilla". Nevertheless, this is one of the best Godzilla films for children in my opinion, you see many scenes of Godzilla training his adopted son how to fight for himself and be independent. It's a pretty good film. It's not on my top 10 by any means, but it's not the worst, that's for sure.
