Godzilla’s on the Loose: 65 Years of Kaiju Rampage In the 1960s, two astronauts, Fuji and Glenn, are sent to investigate the surface of the mysterious "Planet X". There they encounter advanced and seemingly benevolent human-like beings called the Xiliens and their leader, The Controller. The aliens usher the astronauts into their underground base, and moments later, the surface is attacked by a creature the Xiliens call "Monster Zero" the astronauts recognize as King Ghidorah, a planet-destroying monster that had attacked Earth once forcing them to live underground in constant fear. He requests to borrow the Earth monsters Godzilla and Rodan to act as sentries against Ghidorah's attacks; in return for the cure for cancer, an inventor named Tetsuo has designed a personal alarm that emits an ear-splitting electric siren. He sells it to a businesswoman named Namikawa. Glenn and Fuji begin to worry that the Xiliens may have ulterior motives. The Xiliens demand that the people of Earth surrender to them or be destroyed by Godzilla, Rodan, and Ghidorah, who are under the aliens' control. Edit Translation

Reviews
I would only recommend this movie to completionists or people who enjoy early 1960's sci-fi movies. When Godzilla does a little dance after a fight and uses his boxing method, there's also little doubt this movie was not made for adults.
Godzilla and Rodan have almost nothing to do until the last three-tenths of the movie. Most of the movie explores the story of the aliens attempting to take over Earth which might not have been so bad if they hadn't tried to overtake humans by boring them to death. There was a plot to use Godzilla and Rodan in their conquest, but let's be honest, Godzilla moves pretty slowly, it was going to have to be a long game. The plot was thin and convoluted even for a Godzilla film from this era right up to the ending. A thin plot can often be overcome by some interesting monster action. Even in that area this movie failed as parts of the action scenes were recycled from earlier movies.
I may be a Big G fan but even grading on a curve like I do with all of his movies, this one was disappointing.
