No idea why IGN gave this a 4/10, but it quickly continues the first episode. While it isn't as action based as the first one, there's more of an ideological battle that takes place in this one. Moroever, I can see how people don't like this episode or the whole trilogy. Most godzilla fans are looking forward into the rampage and building busting. This series isn't, and most certainly, this episode isnt. If you're more interested into the moral of the story and the antagonistic ideas of the lord of this show, you'll definitely like it. But if you were more into the battle and the craziness of the first episode, I'm afraid you don't like this either

I didn't think it was possible, but "Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle" offers even less Godzilla action than its predecessor, "Planet of the Monsters." At the same time, the story and characters still fail to spark even the slightest interest in me. There are a few promising ideas, such as the nanotechnology surrounding Mechagodzilla. However, the second installment of the trilogy remains largely boring. The animation genre could have offered so much more.

Talking and then, more talking. More characters that emote but have no impact. Godzilla sleeps for almost the entire movie. The 1-star I have given this is for the effort of the animators.

As dissapointing as the first one was, this one made up for it. The build up really paid off in the end.

Godzilla as anime. For fans.
