Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle takes some promising ingredients, but cooks them into an unpalatable meal.

Second in the new anime Godzilla trilogy, this film centres on an attempt to reclaim Earth from a monster bigger than any seen before. A lot of strategizing and philosophising... but it does get very exciting!

"Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle" is a great second part for the trilogy, which surpasses the first part almost in all aspects, while the progression of the story cannot but leave the audience hungry for more.

It feels like the middle third of a story, no doubt; but the middle-third of, like, a 100-minute story, not a middle-third that is 100 minutes in and of itself.
