Is it a bit like one of the Godzilla movies?

Looks interesting

Yeah, a Toho monster movie. Baragon has popped up briefly in Destroy All Monsters and has a more substantial role in one of the more recent movies.

Not seen Destory all monsters, however have watched Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters all-Out Attack and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. Got the Madman releases which are excellent, very nice visuals. Yumiko Shaku is sooo cute in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

There's THREE Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzillas now! 1974, 1993, and 2003. There's also Terror Of Mechagodzilla and a Mecha-Kong features in King Kong Escapes

Then I have seen the 2003 version

, What are the other two like?

I've only the 1974 version and Terror Of Mechagodzilla. Both are great fun but quite far apart in tone. The 1974 film is a colourful romp, with James Bond like spys, a giant Peking Dog called King Ceasar and aliens who turn into gorillas when you kill them. Terror Of Mechagodzilla, which followed, is very dark and bleak, with a downbeat ending - in more ways than one, it was the last Godzilla film for 9 years
