Monster Discussion: Godzilla (2001/GMK)

[Tyler]

Similar to Godzilla 2000. In a way it was a warning from fate that Godzilla should never walk like a dinosaur.

Oh. I thought it was going to be more extreme. Like GINO.

[godzilla1996]

This Godzilla is awesome. 'Nuff said.

Killing the defenseless chick in the hospital made Godzilla look like a pussy I thought

I thought that was awesome the first time I saw it. But the more I see it the more cruel and unnecessary it seems.

Well he was playing the villian in that movie, and that's what bad guys do.

[Ethan]

That scene is played for laughs, somewhat of a stab at the scene in GINO where Hank Azaria "hilariously" surviveds being trampled by the creature. GMK at first plays like this, but the real joke comes when Godzilla's tail destroys the building. I found it hysterical.

I don't like this kind of jokes(unless they are made by the Monty Python bunch).

Wasn't she one of the kids who survived Godzilla's island attack... ? It's kind of like in the original where the guy survived one of the ship attacks, but was later killed on Odo Island.

[Arrow]

Yeah, I think so. She was the one who claimed that Godzilla was misunderstood, making the scene where Godzilla kills her a lot funnier.

This is the best godzilla design from the recent flims for sure, from tail to head. The pot belly is indeed distracting and and feet are completely unconvincing, esp in the full body shot right before he vaporizes mothra, but other than those problems it's amazing. The anamatronic facial expressions are the icing on the cake and put the expressions ect in goji 84 to shame.

oh and fyi the eyes aren't pure white: he's got pupils that are a different shade of white, but it's only obvious in the close-ups

[godzilla898]

Really love the face, with the (nearly) pupil-less eyes and the fangs. Really seems like 54 Goji, but adds some new things as well. Spines were good. Didn't think the feet were too big, and the tail didn't show often. Really loved his breath charging, totally awesome.

[ligerzilla2014]

agreed Big G looks totally bad ass in this movie. my only gripe is the belly, he looks kinda fat.

I thought it was more of a link to the original film. In the 1954 movie, Masaji thinks he's survived the monster that destroyed his ship, but Godzilla catches up with him in the end.

Hey that's what I said.

Explain how it's "funny"

Explain how it's "funny"

I couldn't really explain it to you. I like dark humor and it takes a lot to put me off - certainly a lot more than a single scene that's only a couple minutes long.

[attilagodzilla]

although i love this movie i'm not very fond of this desing the white eyes i don't really like i prefer the desing of g2k

[Patrick Alan]

I have a question, in the scene where Mothra emerges from her cristles and flies to Tokyo and two women dressed in white stare at her, was it supposed to be a cameo for the twin faires? Did they play them like in on of the RoM movies or something?

[Goji]

It's simple a nod to the twin fairies, and nothing more.

[Destroyer]

Me and my family always joked that they grew up and started living in the city.
