I knows it's your opinion and all, but I think Gigan holds up better than others in the nitpicking department.
I know many other Godzilla movies are guilty of some of these nitpicks, especially during the Champion Festival era. My issue is that Godzilla Vs. Gigan have so many of them.

- The standing around is a valid criticism, though MechaGodzilla falls victim to this syndrome in ToM.
Godzilla Vs. Hedorah is also very guilty of this, there is a lot of the daikaiju trash talking to each other. I think it stands out so much do to King Ghidorah who in all previous entries was always in motion. As for Mechagodzilla’s lack of movement from time to time, it fits his mechanical personality, more then it fits King Ghidorahs.

Yup at that is why Godzilla shows up so late for the final battle. I just see Anguirus swim to Japan just to get pushed back nothing but monster filler footage.

Very true and it is one of a number of things that hurt that film as well. However since all three are jungle they blend a bit better, none are spliced in with new footage that looks radically different, and they don’t try to put a night filter on the old stock footage.

Both movies use pretty much the same identical footage for the military. They both use many of the same scenes of the city destruction as well. Megalon also borrows footage from Godzilla Vs. Gigan. There are plenty of shots where you see parts of Gigan in the Megalon rampage. They gave Megalon the yellow lightning so they can use King Ghidorah destruction scenes. The best rampage footage from Megalon is the destruction of the dam, which I like a little better then the new footage from Godzilla Vs. Gigan, but they are both pretty lackluster.
There is also stock footage of Godzilla and Gigan fighting in Godzilla Vs. Megalon that are stock footage for Godzilla Vs. Gigan. But that footage blends in better then the footage from Ghidorah the three headed monster used in Godzilla Vs. Gigan.
