Too much of everything
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This is one of the best Godzilla movies ever!!! The first Millennium G-film I ever saw ( on Sci-Fi). It is a huge improvement over "Godzilla 2000" and in my opinion should've been released in American theaters instead. This movie gives the feeling of the classic Godzilla films, but at the same time still has that modern awe that is much better than in disappointing "Godzilla 2000".The characters are fantastic and deliver great performances. It was good to see Yuriko Hoshi return to the G-franchise, and Kirko and Kudo both kept the emotional side going with some actually funny humor. I LOVE the whole conspiracy idea with Sigiura, all thanks to the marvelous screenplay. We can understand the characters and why they do what they do, even Godzilla. Mazaaki Tezuka directs the film amazingly, and I love the opening scene with the original "Gojira" footage, but with the new Godzilla added to it. The plot was an excellent piece of writing by Wataru Mimura and Hiroshi Kashiwabara. Dimension Tide was a very cool new weapon that was nicely done. Kenji Suzuki's work is great and the flooded Tokyo is totally convincing. This leads to our spectacular monsters.Godzilla looks mostly the same but is much better characterized as the symbolic anti-hero. The nuclear message is a nice part of the story. Both the Meganulon and Meganula look incredible, and the metamorphism scenes look just as good. One of the film's best shots is when the whole side of a building is covered in Meganula, who metamorphize and begin to wreak havoc on Tokyo. Megaguirus is an excellent villain, much better than Orga. We finally see a true battle of speed and the battle between Godzilla and Megaguirus is one of the best ever!! Megaguirus' energy vacuum needle was a clever attack and the fight is interesting because the Monster King is forced to fight without his heat ray. Another nice touch is the 'camp' that fits in great during the final battle. The island battle with the swarm of Meganula was an excellent display of modern Toho effects at work and the action is superb in this film. The dramatic final climatic showdown between Godzilla and G-Graspers is a nice ending that ( stay tuned after the credits) gets even better! The film would be truly incomplete without Michuru Oshima's excellent score.All together this is one incredible G-film that I'm glad to have seen. If you haven't seen it, you definitely need to buy yourself a copy. Now!!
Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000) BOMB (out of 4) Ouch. A female scientist builds a black hole to suck Godzilla up with but while they're working on that another monster shows up. I must say this is probably the worst Godzilla film I've seen and that's saying quite a bit. The acting and directing is all horrid, which is to be expected and the "story" is downright dumb and stupid even for a Godzilla film. The most shocking thing is that the special effects are poorer than earlier installments made decades ago. Just check out the scene where Godzilla is attacked by some dragonflies.
Godzilla vs. Megaguirus: 4/10: I know it is a popular pastime to bash "the American Godzilla" but in it's defense I would like to give you exhibit A: Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (easier to type than pronounce needless to say.) Where do I begin?Well let's start with the latest scheme by the Japanese to rid them of Godzilla once and for all. Shoot him with a black hole from outer space. Yup that is practically mishap proof. Now I know that dumping Oxy- Clean into Tokyo harbor killed the first Godzilla, and since then some fairly dubious scientific methods have been used to battle our green friend but a satellite that shoots black holes has to win some sort of award. I love the scene when the scientist asks the military man "after we destroy Godzilla we destroy the satellite right?" (You can practically see visions of Pearl Harbor 2 in the general's head).To make matters even worse they already have a team battling Godzilla embarrassingly called G-Grasper (not to be confused with our satellite scheme "Project Dimension Tide" that sounds like a really bad futuristic laundry detergent.) The G-Graspers are lead by the all too cute Misato Tanaka who looks like Amelie joined the French Foreign Legion. G-Graspers fight Godzilla by shooting RPGs at his ankles while dressed as Fed-Ex deliverymen. Surprisingly this isn't effective. Now I can take miscast actors and silly story lines in a Godzilla film, but at least the special effects are good right? Nope. Megaguirus is clearly on strings in one scene. The fights have groan inducing wrestling moves. Building destruction is surprisingly light. There is way too much bad CGI. In addition there a lot of underwater scenes, which lets face it has never been a Godzilla strong suit.This is not excusable for new millennium Godzilla. On the plus side nice there is some nice Mimic action with bugs killing young lovers. But when you start feeling like apologizing to Matthew Broderick it's a sign of a bad Godzilla movie.
Version: Eastern Eye R4 DVD - Japanese, English subtitlesGodzilla is back to stomp all over Japan, but this time he has to fight a giant dragonfly... Sounds awesome, yes no?In 1996, Japan has been running on clean, renewable energy for thirty years, and has not seen Godzilla since 1966. Clean energy can no longer provide enough power for Japan, the government begins research into neutron energy. Naturally, Godzilla takes the opportunity to announce his coming out of retirement and levels the neutron facility while decimating the anti-Godzilla force 'G-Grasper'. Obviously, military's plan was to confuse Godzilla with a funny name, and then fire a few missiles at him. Needless to say, it doesn't work.Several years later, Kiriko Tsujimori (Misato Tanaka) - a survivor of G-Grasper's 1996 encounter with Godzilla - is now the G-Grasper commander and has a grudge against Godzilla. Obviously G-Grasper need a new weapon to take on Godzilla, and so they turn to Japan's crazy scientists. The result is a cannon called the 'Dimension Tide': a weapon designed to shoot black holes, which they intend to shoot at Godzilla, from space, to minimize the damage to Earth. Obviously no one thought of any possible negative consequences of shooting a black hole - from space, mind you - towards a moving target Earth. The mad scientists have really gone off the deep end here. Of course, they test it first, and open up a rift to another dimension, letting a swarm of Meganuron (over-sized dragonflies) through.Essentially, 'Godzilla vs Megaguirus' is a lighter, happier version of both 'Godzilla vs Destroyer' and 'Gamera 2'. The Meganuron / Megaguirus greatly resembles the Legion from 'Gamera 2'. The shots of Godzilla being swarmed by the Meganuron, look much like the shots of Gamera being swarmed by the Legion. However, going one up on the other two movies, 'Godzilla vs Megaguirus' has better special effects. The 'Alien' style Meganuron look a lot better than the 'Alien' style Destroyer(s) from 'Godzilla vs Destroyer'. Also, it has mad scientists. A big bonus. They might not look like mad scientists, but they certainly think like them.There is some nice monster action, even if it is heavily offset by the human characters running shooting black holes at things. The Tokyo showdown between Godzilla vs Megaguirus is fun. It may not come close to one of the best monster fight scenes, but its funny and entertaining. Smart use of CGI ensures the monsters and fights look good, but on the other hand, for a giant dragonfly, Megaguirus does not beat his wing that often.'Godzilla vs Megaguirus' is a fun Godzilla movie, and should appeal to Godzilla fans. It does drag on a little though - 7/10
