Talkback: Godzilla 2000 Millennium (1999)

[Giga Kaiju]

This Movie its awesome, i still remember when i first entered the cinema to watch this movie i was all shaking and excited and it didnt it was a blast seeing a Godzilla in the big screen; Great Times
and about The End? Credit... funny as always.

[Showa Gyaos]

I watched it two months ago. It's moved up on my list since then. Why in the hell did I give it the #20 spot? It should've been in my top 10.

Nostalgia is certainly a factor in my appreciation for this movie, but not entirely. I feel just as much (if not more) nostalgia for pretty much all the Showa/Heisei films that I watched endlessly as a kid, yet I still prefer Godzilla 2000 over most of them (for reasons I pointed out in my first post).

[Jomei]

I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece, but for once I actually agree with Donkun. G2K has pretty much everything I love about Godzilla and really epitomizes the entire series.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Yup. It's not not all that high on my list, but it really is a solid picture, and hits just about every base you'd expect in an archetypal "Godzilla versus..." type story.

It has pacing issues and bad CGI but I only occasionally hear many critiques of it otherwise. Wasn't this only the second or third time Toho even used CGI in a Godzilla film? I don't blame them if it's mediocre here. As for pacing, most of the '90s films had the same issue.

I never knew why they pick a cartoony font for "The End?" ?

They got the wrong font, they wanted serious looking letters.

[Rockzilla]

My appreciation for Godzilla 2000 has grown over the years. I think the lackluster Tokyo S.O.S and Final Wars helped give me a new found respect for Godzilla 2000. Not to mention that it was my first and only Japanese Godzilla film that I've seen in theaters. So, while it may not be a masterpiece it is one of the better millenium films IMO.

I would also like to point out the G2K has the most human and developed in the Millenium and Heisei series combined. It also has the best human villainin those two series combined. And is the most quotable.I

"Nice Try asshole"

"Guess I;m gonna have to send more flowers"

"As long as the Beer's cold, who cares!"

I would also like to point out it has scenes devoted to comedy, such as the scene where the guy keeps getting hit by the2x4. Scenes like these haven't been seen since the Showa series.

I like that too, it's silly fun.

All that's in the Americna version though. I hear the Japanese version is kind of... dull.

Has awful sound design as well. Stuff like no background noise or footfalls and an overall tightened story. Honestly, I have zero interest in seeing the the film in its "original" form.

Slapstick for the win.

No matter how randomly interjected into the film it is.

G2K will never impress me. And, for the most part, it fails to entertain me. Maybe it's just those obnoxious dubbed voices...

I do actually. I'd like to see the original version on a new DVD/Blu-ray release from Sony.

[kaiju_wars]

Damn, I loved Godzilla 2000, mainly because it was my first Godzilla movie, now I am the biggest Godzilla fan in the world. MWA HA HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gojisan866]

I never viewed it as underrated, mostly due to the fact that it was the first Godzilla movie I saw. I guess I could see why it's viewed as such, though.

[PopInPicsPresents]

It's okay at best IMO, if I ever watch the movie I skip to the battles. Nothing special.

[gojira012]

G2K Does use a lot of tense moments you don't normally see in Kaiju movies, Such as the moment where he's staring down the car or the parts where he actually acknowledges human existence

[Tyler]

I like how he singled out Katagiri.

[Brian4205]

You know, I like this movie. Not just because it was the only one I saw in theaters, but because it had a decent monster, and fight, nice film work, my personal favorite suit, and good use of the classic music. It's by no means a master piece, and the cgi is outdated, but it's good outways it's bad.
I also feel Im in the minority of liking the red beam. Plus that super Nuclear Pulse at the end was epic.
