The Avengers of the Godzilla Universe.
In Destroy All Monsters, the story consists of this weird alien invasion plot that never really gripped me, it felt a little too silly - sillier than Invasion of Astro-Monster and that movie felt like a fever dream.
But where this film really shines is it's kaijus and it's action. Right from the start you get to see the monsters, making this automatically feel different by being more monster-centric. Plus they get a whole lot more screen time too. The action is great, the destruction looks the best it's ever looked, and the final fight is some of the best kaiju-on-kaiju action thus far!
I only have two complaints: One, why is Mothra always a larva? Why can't we see the queen herself fly around with Rodan? And two, Minilla is the most worthless kaiju i've ever seen. All of the other monsters have their moments in the fight while Minilla stands in the back waving his dumb little arms.
