    A mixed return to form after the awful american version.

    Since seeing it in the theater, all I remember is a lot of stuff getting blown up.

    Excellent comeback for the big guy. This was the one that made everyone breath a sigh of relief after the American version.

    I cannot deny my love for rubber suited monsters and small scale models of Tokyo. Plus in this one you get to see a rubber suited Godzilla kick the crap out of CGI aliens. It is almost a Metaphor for my take on Special effects.

    The first in my favorite Godzilla series, the Millennium Series. Set-up as a direct sequel to the original 50's film, this movie could be re-titled "Godzilla vs. The Space Doo." The UFO that Godzilla battles at first looks like a large version of what Joe Dirt pulled around in a ...( read more)wagon. The UFO then begins to create monsters for Godzilla to fight. Godzilla saves the day...then destroys Tokyo!

    Don't go in expecting anything other than Godzilla smashing stuff "real good". Fans of the series and it's immortal anti-hero will be in popcorn heaven.

    Only the Japaneese can make a good GODZILLA movie. Had a great time with this. Sure, the MAN IN SUIT effects are cheesy compared to bog time Hollywood FX, but the intent is great AND I enjoy the sense of scale and scope. Godzilla looks KA-FRIGGIN-HUGE, and that is something Holly...( read more)wood blows it on. SCOPE. Make it feel BIG. Enjoy the story as well, although it was the same story we've scene in every GODZILLA movie mostly.. GOdzilla protects Tokyo from the evil OTHER Monster. Great fun to be had here.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Godzilla 2000 ... is dubbed into English in a manner that's occasionally too jokey for its own good.
