Already not the biggest Return of Godzilla fan, but when you change it to antagonize the Soviets (kinda defeating the purpose of the movie) and somehow make Steve even more useless than he was in KOTM, you've just got nothing. Plus the dub's not very good, which KOTM didn't have to worry about as much because only like half the dialogue was dubbed, there was still real Japanese in it, which I thought was cool. An interesting little curiosity in the history of legacy sequels, but not worth much unless you're a Raymond Burr conpletionist.
