 American Kaiju: Mike Bogue's Articles and Reviews: Ghidrah, The Three-Headed Monster
Unfortunately, some of the battle tactics prove ridiculous.  For example, the two titans’ round of “monster volleyboulder” reeks.  It’s likewise silly when, as each kaiju lobs a big rock back and forth, we see Mothra looking from monster to monster as though witnessing a tennis match.
Nevertheless, all that said, the majority of monster stuff in Ghidrah is top-rank.  The golden dragon’s incarnation is truly inspired.  Formidable in appearance, Ghidrah’s huge wings, twin tails, and snaking heads remain well-articulated throughout.  And Ghidrah’s weird, electronic vibrato offers an otherworldly touch.
Ghidrah’s city devastation is also impressive, featuring detailed urban miniatures blown to smithereens by the space monster’s crackling electrical rays.  This ranks as one of the most enjoyable examples of “city razing” that the Showa series offers.  Godzilla and Rodan get to indulge in some minor damage, but nothing as extensive as Ghidrah’s rampage.
