I'd say Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack is a good Godzilla film in my opinion. The music is well done, the actors did a great job portraying the characters the way they were supposed to and the story is well written.

The Godzilla suit looks great, I really like the GMK Godzilla design and Baragon looks great as well, it's been a long time since we've seen Baragon in the Showa series, and the fight between him and Godzilla is, pretty much, the only monster battle I liked.

The only problem I have with this movie in my opinion is Mothra and King Ghidorah. I mean, I like their designs, but I honestly hate their characters in this movie because they're both protectors of Japan, this is not how you portray those two monsters, as Mothra is supposed to be more than just a protector of Japan, she is the Guardian of Earth, and King Ghidorah is not supposed to be a protector of anything at all, King Ghidorah is supposed to be a space monster who destroys planets as mentioned in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. The only reason why Mothra and King Ghidorah teamed up is because they were originally meant for Anguirus and Varan. You see? The original idea for Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack was originally Godzilla X Varan, Baragon and Anguirus: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, but Toho changed Varan and Anguirus to Mothra and King Ghidorah because they thought it would sell more tickets because Godzilla vs. Megaguirus was a huge disappointment at the box office which is really unfortunate because it's one of the better Millennium films in my opinion. If you ask me, if I were Toho's executives, I would have told them to tell Kaneko to keep Varan and replace only Anguirus with Manda so that the film would make more sense that way. I know it's in a different continuity than the Showa series, but look at the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy, even if the films have no connection with the Showa and Heisei Godzilla films, and that they are all different monsters of the Mothra and Ghidorah species, the animosity between them was still there, and with this film, there's no animosity between Mothra and King Ghidorah which is very dissapointing in my opinion because they're one of my Top 5 Favorite Godzilla Monsters, so this film is definitely a "slap-in-the-face" for me for doing that.

If I ever have to rate this film, I would give it 4/5 stars. Aside from Mothra and King Ghidorah's characters in the movie, everything else about this Godzilla film is really well done.
