Godzilla Vs Megaguirus because I did not like the plot at all. This little kid finds an egg and keeps it. Then a monster is born from the egg after he gets rid of it. Godzilla decides that although he hates humans he will take down the bug anyway.

Kay, I'm going to ask you to edit your post to put a little substance into it. Why was Godzilla vs. Megaguirus a let down for you?

GMK, for the sole fact that I think they should have used the original idea of Anguirus, Varan, and Baragon. Didn't care for seeing KG as not only a hero but being tiny as well. And I love Mothra but didn't like her GMK incarnation.

And GFW just plain sucked but the premise was cool.

GFW.

This is supposed to be the 50th anniversary film so why the hell are there only monster fights and Godzilla near the end, and why are they so short? Because Kaitmaura or however the skreeonk you say his name didn't want to make a kaiju film, he just wanted to make a martial arts film hence why there's more people fighting then actual monsters.

There are SOME things I like about GFW (that New York Rodan scene and Monster X slowly deciding is still epic) and it's a guilty pleasure that is fun to watch once in while and turn your brain off but it's not enough to outweigh the bad.

I thought all the movies in the Millenium were okay,but I would have to say Godzilla vs Megaguirus.
1.It had a different continuity.
2.If it's a different continuity,why is this Godzilla suit in two different movies with different continuities?
3.There were two plot holes I found:Why did the city become flooded? Was it because of the Meganula egg?
The other:Where did Megaguirus come from? I know she came from a cocoon,but was she originally a regular Meganula? Was it the one that was mutated from the black hole/came in through that time rip or whatever and laid the egg
Give Zilla a chance.

Godzilla X Mechagodzilla, it feels more like anime and while I like stuff that goes for that route, this feels a bit too serious at the same time, killing part of the fun and making it more laughable...at least Yumiko is hot though.

GFW doesn't take itself seriously, that's why I don't care for most of its problems and Tokyo SOS has some of the best SFX of Millenium, Megaguirus is real fun, 2000 and GMK are overall decent enough.

I wasn't disappointed with any of these films when I first saw them, actually. Looking back, though, I'd say GFW, for obvious reasons.

EDIT: Actually, I didn't really like GMK at first, but I wouldn't have called it a letdown. It quickly grew on me, however.

The fact that in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla the king of monsters basically sat there and got his face kicked in during nearly every fight.

The death of Hedorah in Final Wars. Most monsters got short-changed in that movie, but the fact that old Smoggy was one of the biggest threats in the series made his quick end really annoying.

Final Wars was the biggest bomb since TOM so I guess that would be the one.

TOM was boss. And Gfw was not as bad as people make it to be. Remember Godzillas Revenge

It's amazing how many places Godzilla's Revenge and Godzilla vs. Megalon hate turns up.

Not including Final Wars, my biggest letdown at the moment would be the human story in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus. Every character oozed with so much cliche that it overloaded my brain. It made it almost painfully boring for me. Other than that, I was disappointed at the lack of durability of Kiryu. It was such an awesome rendition of Mechagodzilla, but couldn't keep from dropping spare parts to save it's life.

It Was Ghidorah from GMK.

They took a juggernaut that anialates entire planets, and make him a flightless pushover. I know that this version was woken prematurely, but they could have made it a little stronger. For the final fight, we expect a big struggle, and the battle we got didn't fit that measurement.

Final Wars was the biggest let down because it had the potential to be much better. It's still a pretty fun film with many enjoyable moments, but it set high spectations and felt rushed in the end.

None of the Millennium films were actual letdowns for me personally, but GMK came the closest because of the underwhelming King Ghidorah. I always lived by King Ghidorah towering over Godzilla and wielding enormous power. This one wasn't that. But as fate would have it, I liked GMK more and more to the point where it'd handily land in a top five for personal Godzilla movie favorites.

Ghidorah in GMK was my only letdown, I love the movie but don't like ghidorah small in it.

Godzilla vs Megaguirus was my biggest let down. When I first got it when I was about 4, I thought it was going to be a sequel to G2000 which I loved even at my early age. But I was wrong and that let me down, even though I was only 4. I watched again after 10 years recently, but it still was a let down even though I knew now it was not a sequel to G2000, mainly because the plot was really all over the place and there were still a lot of loose ends by the end of the movie, but the monster fights were still pretty awesome. Ghidorah in GMK was also a big letdown, even though I knew that they were trying to make Godzilla seem and be the biggest monster in the movie. I just was use to KG being much bigger then Goji in other movies, but i'm over it know.

Godzilla: Final Wars is not only the biggest letdown of the Millennium series, but the biggest letdown of the entire franchise. Let's ignore for a moment that it's one of the worst made films of the series...This was suppose to be the 50th anniversary tribute to Godzilla, celebrating one of the longest running film franchises in history. And yet, the film is more-or-less a huge middle finger to the entire series and its fans, with only having about twelve minutes of screen time for Godzilla in a two-hour film. For this film, the monsters don't matter whatsoever, and would rather focus on being a Matrix rip-off.

There is no bigger insult to the franchise than GFW.

Well, there's GINO. Of course GFW's case is more baffling, as one wouldn't expect a Toho Godzilla film to sail into such waters.
