- The Miniature Sets in this film was more prominently utilized this time around, than on the first film.
- The sets felt more real and had more detail than in the first film, mainly because the first film was mainly shot as a night scene. In the second film, there's a balance between night and day.
- The Suitmation costumes were noticeably less scary than before, and more cartoony in nature.
- the stumps on Anguirus's shell/back didn't look convincing, and Anguirus itself was hard to be scared of.
- the same goes for the Godzilla costume in this film. It also felt different from the first, and felt less intimidating to watch.
- The human characters weren't that much relatable in this film.
- their story-line was more or less one dimensional. they didn't really have much to provide, than on the first film.
- No moral dilemmas or political issues were made conflict in this film.
- unlike the first Godzilla movie, this film focuses more on the battle between Godzilla and Anguirus. They are both destructive forces of a prehistoric age, brought back in order to wreak havoc in the world. So the humans only think of putting a stop to these two creatures, before they cause more damage to the city/world.
- despite Yamane's character presence in the film, he does not have a prominent role in it.
- he was just there for a brief moment, and his ideals in the first film weren't mentioned or focused upon in the plot. So the absence of a moral compass in this story (of whether or not these two monsters should survive), is a weakness of this film.
