Best Costumes of the Millenium Era

Post by Llante »

So we all know how important the costumes, human, alien, and kaiju, are to any Godzilla film. Such an important aspect can really add to or take away from a movie. However, which movie do you think had the best costumes out of all six Millenium films. Including the human costumes.

My vote goes to Final Wars. One, I cannot help but admire the cope of costumes, what with over a dozen kaiju and many different human and alien costumes too. To design so many in the first place requires a lot of effort, but giving them quality is even harder, and this film managed to do both well. However, I also like that for the humans and aliens, they gave each major human and alien unique costumes while not making them too outlandish. It was also nice that the classic kaiju got nice looking updated designs while Monster X looked pretty good too. Perhaps the most important thing though was how innovative the kaiju suits were. Making them more comfortable for the suit actors was definitely an advancement that helped their portrayals.

My favorite part of the costumes though was Goji's costume. It really appealed to what I consider the essential traits for a Godzilla suit. When someone says 'Godzilla' this is the suit that comes to mind for me.

Godzilla against Mechagodzilla and its sequel

Godzilla, Kiryu, and Kamoebas costumes are awesome. Mothra is kinda iffy. The design itself looks good, but the actual model looks kinda ugly. Catipillars are the same as always, so i don't really care.

The Kiryu Saga has some of the best costumes.

I thought Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. as a whole had the best costumes and props of the Millennium series. Like the changes made to both Godzilla and Kiryu, and was a fan of both the Mothra Imago and Larva props (Kamoebas looks good as well).

I will also vote for the Kiryu dualogy. Godzilla had a very ferocious, animalistic look which fit the film well, while also having a more "modern" look like the Mire-Goji suit, albeit more modest.
Kiryu was also really well done. He looks like he could be a real-liife machine, and also looks more like Godzilla than older MG incarnations.
....And then there's Mothra - WOW - she has NEVER looked better.

FinaroGoji because of its flexibility, and overall look.
Kiryu because of his agility and badass appearance.
Godzilla 2000 because of its risk-taking nature to change up Godzilla's overall appearance and succeed.
Gigan because of its complete overhaul and the result being a wonderful new look for the cyborg.
Tokyo S.O.S Godzilla because of its improvements from the last film, and of course the scar.

While GMK looks amazing in some shots, in others it just looks kind of meh/bad to me, and the gut is a turn-off. MegagurisGodzilla changed the 2000 suit a bit too much and made the once natural-looking dull green a fake and unnatural bright green.

Even though GMK Godzilla is my second favorite Godzilla suit of the Millennium series, I have to agree, they gave him a bit too much of a potbelly.

Well, for suits I would have to go with the GMK suit, so much facial movements gave this suit life. Aside from its hulking mass and titanic height.

For costumes, yeah the Kiryu saga I think had to best of the millenium series. Personal best though..
Hate me if you want but the Xilien regulator's costume and his guards stood out to me and become my personal best and favorite.

The G2k & the Godzilla x Megaguirus Godzilla suit (G2k suit modified) are both top 5 favorites of mine.

GMK Godzilla, beautiful.
Final Wars monsters are pretty cool looking, like Monster X and Gigan (version 1).
Plus the Xilien outfit was sweet.

My fav has to be the FW Godzilla suit. To me, it looks pretty realistic. Some people think it looks really fake just because of this "bulge" on the neck. (which I dont see this)
But some real life reptiles do have a "bulge" on there necks. Take the Komodo Dragon for example.
