Godzilla 2000

Heh heh, what isn't there for me to love "Godzilla 2000"? Minimal computer graphics, well built city models, awesome looking makeover for the big G and a neat and fierce looking foe named Orgah. Oh, and not to mention a cute little girl named Iyo, who shows a big interest for Godzilla and Orgah (perhaps a nostalgic refrence to the monster loving kids Ken Yano and Rokku-chan?).

Alot of people seem to hate this movie due to it not having too much CG, no "super sexy" model actor or actresses or were just spoiled off of the recent Hollywood trash cinema. OMG, and someone even compaired the recent Godzilla movies to Evangellion (GAG ME!).

I however, stand up for Toho. Long live Toho! Long live the King of Monsters!

This is old school Godzilla plain and simple. Nothing terribly exciting, no super cool computer effects. Just a guy in a rubber suit and godzilla breathe drawn on the film. Actually there is a little computer stuff, but nothing that hasn't been done for years.

This is not a great movie, by any stretch of the imagination, but nostalgia makes it enjoyable. I think this is also a better movie for kids than most of the action monster movies coming out. Almost no one dies in the movie and there is little swearing or sexual overtones. This might make it too simple for adults who are not nostalgic for the old movies, but others should enjoy it.

Godzilla 2000: Millennium (1999) is a movie that I recently watched on a random streaming service. The storyline follows an alien artifact that crashes to Earth leading to the emergence of Godzilla. Initially they find Godzilla's attacks to be a threat to humanity, but what he's really doing is preparing for what's about to emerge from the alien rock. What could be more threatening than Godzilla and is he powerful enough to stop the alien?

This movie is directed by Takao Okawara (Yukai) and stars Hiroshi Abe (After the Storm), Shirô Sano (Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack), Masahiko Nishimura (Princess Mononoke) and Denden (Cold Fish).

I adored that this movie went back to the Godzilla roots of a man in a costume and the traditional model trains and civilizations for Godzilla to destroy. The modern tanks and airplanes used via CGI were fine also. The dialogue in this was hilarious at times and the acting was as you'd expect for the monster universe. The alien monster CGI initially is awful but the final monster battle is fun, just not as good as some of the legendary monster fight conclusions. The music also uses the classic soundtrack which was a treat.

Overall, this falls short of some of the monster universe classics but it's still worth a viewing. I would score this a 5-5.5/10 and strongly recommend it.

Goji 200 is a rather poorly paced film with uninteresting human characters and a rather bland telling of the "Goji Attacks Japan" story. The effects however are cool and I am very fond of the Goji 2000 design, so it gets 6 Missiles out of 10 from me.

Yes, Godzilla 2000 ain't the most stellar movie ever made. It's slow in some spots and the story is very slight. But I liked it. The previous reviews posted before mine makes me wonder if they saw the same movie.

A tragic waste of talent? Eh? You mean the US version was a tragic waste of talent AND money. For what little money they had with Godzilla 2000, I'm pretty impressed with what Toho made. Some FX scenes were really cool, like when we see the van driving on the road with Godzilla in the background. The battle at the end is great and I love Godzilla's new look, even though he should see a dentist with his really toothy grin. Anyway, I'm a Godzilla/Japanese Monster movie fan since I was a kid and I'm glad I finally saw a Japanese version of Godzilla on the big screen here in North America.
