First and foremost: this is a cheezy sci-fi Godzilla movie, so I can't and won't consider it even in the same category as a Blade Runner or Alien when rating it.
That aside, it's utterly and horribly cheezy. Frighteningly ridiculous, even for its time, this film basically laughs at science (though hey, it's a film about a massive 400 ft. tall fire-breathing reptile, a massive bird-like reptile, and a three-headed electricity breathing flying dragon...I'm thinking science is already waaaaaay out of the picture here;)
The dubbing....OMG the dubbing!!! On the bottom of the scale...this is the worst dub-job I've seen since Shaolin Temple. And as for the token English guy, Nick Adams is no Raymond Burr!
A couple of questions that I probably shouldn't even waste my time with: why is it aliens can always speak Earth languages? And would they really call their planet by the same name as Earthlings do? Never mind the questions about basic scientific principles that are completely disregarded (I must now remind myself to look at my previous statement about the creatures we're dealing with...)
Overall: nowhere near as good as the first one, but a hell of a lot more funny! Quality is awful though, but there are *many* worse films of this type out there (the '98 Broderick Godzilla comes to mind...) Still, I had to fast-forward through parts of this; it starts to get so repetitive and dreary from scene to scene, never mind film to film. 4/10.
