Just finished Return of Godzilla, and I have to be honest and say that I was disappointed. The first half of the film was basically "should we nuke Godzilla or not?" which eventually built up to a lot of sequences of Godzilla standing in one spot, and some close-up shots of the monster that revealed just how cheesy the suit looks. Those shots of the foot touching down on the ground are especially painful - the thing looks like it was carved out of wood and quickly painted. Then Godzilla falls into a volcano. Maybe if the pace was sped up a bit, it'd be a lot more enjoyable. I have heard that Godzilla 1985 sped things up a bit, so maybe I'll have to check it out.

It definitely occupies one of the very lowest spots on my list of Godzilla film rankings.
