Maybe Godzilla somehow found out it was the kid's fault that he had to fight that giant bug.

Damn it, Tezuka. Couldn't even give us the courtesy of shooting the movie for another 30 seconds so we can see Godzilla fry that brat.

inb4 Legion comes in to whine about 'Millenium Gamera movie'.
It is a simple story. There is nothing that brings me happiness. Be it believing in others or them believe in me, it did not matter.
What others called happiness simply did not bring me joy.

It's not a terrible movie, but the pacing kills it for me. Megaguirus has a cool desigin though.
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and fwhat does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,2
and to gwalk humbly with your God?

I wouldn't have even noticed it if you hadn't opened your big mouth.

But since you insisted...no, Gamera the Brave isn't a Millennium movie. That's just a term applied to the 6 Godzilla movies from 1999-2004. I know everyone has this hardon for labeling eras not just in the Godzilla movies but with all monster films, but "Millennium" only corresponds to the Godzilla movies.

Again, I'm only doing this because Primevalgodzilla practically dared me to. Next time maybe he'll keep his mouth shut.

This piece of garbage is not only the worst Millennium film, but easily one of the worst films in the entire series run. It's an embarrassment to a franchise that already suffers from a less than stellar repuation. Godzilla vs. Megaguirus is the SyFy Original Movie of the series, and it would have made for perfect MST3K fodder.

That's an insult if I ever heard one. I wouldn't say it's that bad, but it does seem more tv movie than movie.

I picture it being more like a direct-to-DVD movie.

Yeah that's harsh, the action scenes save it from being such a thing, the final battle's too epic.

Wait, people consider this a bottom tier Godzilla film? I was thoroughly entertained by it. Lots of Godzilla screentime, good cast of characters supported by a good backstory, and an awesome monster for Godzilla to fight. Also Godzilla ends up perfecting the Rob Van Dam Frog Splash. The only complaints I have are the poor CGI effects and the silly black hole plot. Overall a very fun film to watch.

Aside from the lack of fleshed out story for some of the other cast members, and the kid being pretty much pointless, what was wrong with the characters?

So those problems are the only issues with the cast? It wasn't intended to be an "ignore these negatives and the characters are good" statement, it was more like a "what are the other problems I overlooked" kind of question.

This movie is downright awful. Criminally boring, horribly paced, no memorable characters, inconsistent SPFX. The only redeeming factors, IMO, are the score and Megaguirus herself. I honestly think it's one of the worst Godzilla films.
