jun fukuda style of directing simply is more human action and driven by lots and lots of colors.
fukuda's interpretation of godzilla and its world looks a lot more like a playhouse full of color which, i mean at this point the franchise is largely for children so why not make everything look like it came out of a childs playhouse.
megalon and gigan are so cute together and while the human characters aren't great, they at least have a cute bond together.
while jun fukuda's godzilla work is aimed largely at kids, its not afraid to play around with its sets and costumes. ishiro honda's films are colorfull but they didn't have a much of a variety and focus on them as in the films of fukuda and i apreciate that as it something we've seen yet something new.godzilla's suit looks dumb tho.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gloriously campy kaiju romp where a boy-genius's homemade robot and a wounded Godzilla face off against a drill-headed beetle monster in a joyride of practical effects and pure spectacle. It's retro giant monster mayhem that knows exactly how ridiculous it is.
