This was the second Godzilla movie I ever saw and it was the first of them that really got me interested in Godzilla. I just loved the climatic battles between Godzilla and King Ghidorah and the terrific music score by Akira Ifukube.It also has a very decent and well-crafted plot. It was directed by the same man who directed the classic "Godzilla vs. Biollante" and I often consider him to be one of the best low-budget Japanese directors ever. There was plenty of action, the human part of the story was actually very interesting. At a few points, the plot made some turns that were hard to understand. I had to watch a few dialogue scenes a couple of times to get the idea. Of course, it is possible that the American distributors just cut out the important parts of the storyline as they usually do with Godzilla films.Special effects-wise, for its time, it's impressive. Not as good as the Oscar-winning effects in Terminator 2 (also made in 1991), but acceptable. The radioactive heat rays, laser beams, and King Ghidorah's gravity lightning bolts were somewhat realistic. And I just loved the effects used in Godzilla's raid on the city of Sapporo, where he fought against a squadron of laser-tanks. That's my favorite part of the movie.
