This would be a decent kaiju movie if it weren't for the fact that the original Japanese version seems unavailable in the U. S. . I re-watched the English language dub of this movie recently (I'm not really sure if I ever saw the Japanese version. Anyway the dub wasn't as bad as usual, it's the sometimes unintentionally ridiculous voices that are used. Why do never get voices that match the pitch of the original characters? The story is sort of novel, at least for a kaiju movie. Two humanoid monsters who are DNA related end up fighting each other and destroy parts of Tokyo. The acting is OK, but I take issue with the woman who was a professor/doctor in the previous film (Frankenstein Conquers the World) is now pretty much reduced to eye candy/damsel in distress. I assume that Russ Tamblyn (and Nick Adams in the previous film) is there to appeal USonian audiences. If you can get past the annoying dubbing then this is a decent kaiju movie.
