Summary: The "Real" sequel!!!!
Review: This is the only Godzilla film that comes close to the first! I liked the other Godzilla films, but this and the first are the only ones that stay onto the orignal plot. In this film, Godzilla is back and destroying Toyko. I think someone else said this is the only film where Godzilla looks real. Really cool fight at the end and the only one that lives up to the first!!!

Summary: An Excellent, Well-Executed Godzilla Movie
Review: Godzilla 2000 is definitely a landmark of Godzilla history. This movie has it all. It's everything that a good Godzilla movie is. It's also the first Godzilla movie made since the 1998 TriStar Godzilla movie which wasn't really Godzilla, and this movie really reminds everybody who the real Godzilla is. The TriStar Godzilla was a great giant monster movie, but it couldn't rightfully be called a Godzilla movie. This, on the other hand, is the real King of the Monsters.The plot is classic and formulaic, but at the same time serious and straightforward. This movie is part of the Millennium Series of Godzilla movies. Each entry into this series starts over Godzilla history, acting as though the first Godzilla movie is the only one that happened. Here's a movie summary. Godzilla is tracked and studied by the Godzilla Prediction Network (GPN). Meanwhile, the Crisis Control Institute (CCI) finds a gigantic meteorite in the ocean and brings it to the surface. The meteorite flies away and, in a fight with Godzilla, gets it's rocky exterior burned away, revealing it to be a UFO. The UFO flies to Tokyo. Godzilla shows up and battles it. The alien inside the UFO comes out and uses Godzilla's DNA to turn itself into a half-clone of Godzilla, called Orga. A climactic battle ensues. Who will win? This movie was very entertaining. The whole film was just carried out so well. The acting is good. It's serious most of the time and humorous when appropriate. The actors in the monster costumes gave excellent performances. The final fight between Godzilla and Orga was wonderfully executed. The monsters displayed intelligence during the fight. You could tell that Godzilla was thinking of what to do next and that Orga was feeling superior to his opponent. The dubbing is this film's weakness. It's just plain bad. In the original Japanese version of this film, the dialogue was NOT this bad. There were a lot of terrible lines inserted into the dubbing by Sony. Here are just a few lines that Sony added:
-"The missile will go through Godzilla like crap through a goose."
-"Great Caesar's ghost!"
-"Bite me!"
-About 45% of Godzilla's roars were replaced with the TriStar Godzilla's cries. Orga was also given a new roar.
Just know that NONE of these lines, or the many other groaners, were in the original version of Godzilla 2000. A foreign film shouldn't be criticized just because it's distributors here in America screwed up the dubbing. The special effects are wonderful. The miniature cities all looked real, and were destroyed miraculously. There's a lot of CGI, and most of it looked convincing. There were a lot of real-looking CGI missiles and explosions. Almost every CGI shot of the UFO looked real. There's a very cool CGI shot of Godzilla swimming underwater, which looked real until it got close to the screen and became overlit. The designs of Godzilla and Orga are awesome. Orga looks cool and menacing. Godzilla's look has changed drastically. His new look makes him look cooler, meaner, more vicious, more powerful, and more modern. This is a Godzilla for the new millennium. He has a sleek, jarring, reptilian head, a snout full of sharp teeth, scales covering his body, and huge, jagged, very cool spikes running down his back. Despite popular opinion, Godzilla has never been green until this movie. He's always been charcoal gray, now he's dark green. Also, his atomic fire ray is now bright orange, rather than light blue. And his back spikes don't flash when he uses his fire, they glow like a light bulb. This has to be one of the best Godzilla designs ever. The music and sound effects are fantastic. Godzilla's new roar sounds very cool. It's deep and sounds very powerful. He occasionally emits his 90's sound too. Much of the original music was replaced with new tracks by Sony. The original score and the new music both sounded great. The new Godzilla theme sounds menacing. Of course, there's also Godzilla's classic theme. Because Orga is trying to turn himself into a Godzilla clone, his theme is the classic Godzilla theme done on a higher-sounding instrument. This film also appropriately pays homage to the TriStar Godzilla movie. The TriStar Godzilla film humiliated the Godzilla franchise by being a remake of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms that called itself Godzilla. It was a great movie, it just wasn't a Godzilla movie. Godzilla 2000 reminded everyone who and what Godzilla really is. In this movie, the UFO/Orga could be seen as a metaphor for the TriStar Godzilla. Here are some of the ways this movie pays homage to the TriStar Godzilla:
-The UFO downloads info on Godzilla. This could be seen as TriStar stealing Godzilla from Toho.
-Orga tries to turn himself into a Godzilla clone and kill the real Godzilla. This could be seen as TriStar trying to have their Godzilla replace the Toho Godzilla.
-Orga looks like a cross between the TriStar Godzilla and Gamera. DVD features are very nice. There's behind-the-scenes footage, audio commentary, trailers, and a 2.35:1 widescreen presentation of the movie. Overall, this is an outstanding Godzilla movie. A definite must for Godzilla fans. The late Tomoyuki Tanaka, the man who created Godzilla in 1954 and passed away in 1997, would be proud.

Summary: Long Live The King!!!
Review: Long Live The King!!! Godzilla is back. Better though smaller then before. I personally think that this movie is without a doubt one of the best Godzilla movies. The only thing that confuses me is what happened to the Junior Godzilla from Godzilla vs Destroyah? Anyway, the plot is about a giant rock from space awakened from the bottom of the sea. Godzilla is also back. When the rock turns to metal, it forms a monster known as Orga. Godzilla fights Orga and kills him by using his Atomic ray in his mouth. What I like about this movie is that Godzilla looks great and his Atomic ray looks like plasma. This movie is also exiting. Here are the stats for the new Godzilla. Height: 180 feet
Length: 350 feet
Mass: 25,000 tons
walking speed: 40km per hour
Special Powers: Atomic ray, regenerative power

Summary: My all- time favorite Godzilla movie! Love the new spines!
Review: It is me Andre, again. Remember me, G fans? I wrote a review on Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee. It says ''I am..., the biggest video gamer..."- I put my name there, but it got cut out. Anyway, I'm writing a review for my favorite Godzilla movie: Godzilla 2000. I love the new Godzilla look (With him being dark green instead of black). His face looks a little different, including teeth that make him look even fiercer than the Showa and the Heisei series. Even more important, is his dorsal spines. They are larger and sharper in contrast to the much rounded fins of the Showa or Heisei Godzilla. And of course, there is his new Atomic Breath. It is now reddish white while the all other Godzillas' breath is blue. Orga is also very cool and is one of my favorite daikaiju (giant monsters). Although everyone says that this isn't the mutated Godzilla Junior from Godzilla vs. Destroyah, I still like to think of him as Godzilla Junior. And while evidence says he is 55 meters tall, I still like to think of him as 100.Well, that's all for now. [...]

Summary: Godzilla vs. E.T.
Review: A duo of Godzilla chasers (a guy and his daughter) team up with a reporter to get pictures of our favorite reptile. Needless to say, Godzilla's on another rampage of mega-destruction! Meanwhile, a strange meteorite splashes down in the ocean nearby (why does all the cool stuff happen only in Japan?). A group of scientists attempt to raise the big rock from the depths, only to find that it rises under it's own power! The meteorite floats and soon flies away! This would be fine if the military hadn't just used their brand new "bunkerbuster"-type missiles to pierce Godzilla's skin in hopes of killing him once and for all. Oopsy! Turns out that the flying rock is actually an alien intelligence bent on taking over the world. It soon sheds it's mineral exterior to reveal a shiny UFO. Landing atop the tallest building in Tokyo, it begins absorbing all of the data from all computer systems. What does it want? It wants the secrets of Godzilla's regenerative abilities so it can assimilate them. Thankfully, Big G returns just in time to battle the invader. The rest is one of the best "Godzilla vs. evil monster" confrontations ever! I loved it! My 7yo son loved every minute and that's all that matters anyway...

Summary: One Of The Best In The Series!
Review: It saddens me to know that some of not most Godzilla fans find this movie to be average. But that's their opinion. I really believe that this is one if not the best Godzilla movie in the series!
The human drama is excellent! The monster battles are colorful and the special effects are a drastic improvement! The only thing that bothers me is that Orga's hands are so huge that they look immovable and fake. Oh well. That's really the only flaw that I will complain about. Long live Godzilla!

Summary: The last Hurah for Godzilla and Tri-Star Pictures
Review: After the release of the terrible American 1998 Godzilla picture, Tri-Star and Toho really wanted to try and get the Godzilla movie series back on track for US audiences, so they made a half-hearted attempt with Godzilla 2000. It was made by Toho, then edited and put together by a US crew here in the states, then Tri-Star released it with little fan fare and only very moderate box office results. but the movie was clearly better then the 1998 film. It showed how powerful Godzilla really was, and he was sort of a good guy in the picture. Sadly this seems to have been the last hurrah for whatever other Godzilla movies could have also been released at US theaters. There has been a recent agreement to have the newer films released by Sony here in the US, but they are only going to TV or DVD releases, and there will be little or no theater releases at all. That's sad and it really looks like this was the last really interesting film that Tri-Star has ever done.

Summary: A real taste of what Godzilla is and how Powerful he is!
Review: This is probably the most revealing of all the Godzilla movies and makes the most sense regarding his powers. The utter destruction he can wreak on the alien with his tremendous fire breath and his regenerative abilities both are very consistent with the story behind Godzilla's abilities as a monster. He is practically indestructable because of his amazing regenerative cells and his nearly-impenetrable shielding skin/armour. Also, the power he can pack into his fire breath is what people have come to expect from a super being like Godzilla. On the more humourous side, we also learn - once and for all - that you DON'T get Godzilla mad as does the alien after their first encounter. Godzilla simply comes back, angrier, meaner and more cunning than ever; he can adapt and learn from his previous mistakes and fights and teaches this "meteor thing" or whatever it is, a damned lesson: You can't just expect to have the power and spirit of Godzilla by taking some skin cells from him and taking his form. Godzilla is bigger than the sum his parts BY FAR! A great movie. Toho is finally making Godzilla stories which live up to the reputation of the very monster they created - an indestructable (or nearly indestructable as Godzilla can be badly hurt as we have already seen) super monster, created by human monstrosity (i.e. nuclear radiation resulting from atomic testing), come back to destroy humanity and all sources of the pollution which caused Godzilla to come into existence in the first place; almost like a modern-day version of the Frankenstein monster, except that the creature created by Frankenstein was initially a humble, innocent, beautiful, child-like human being not meaning any harm. Whereas Godzilla is destructive right from the start... Enjoy!

Summary: The REAL Godzilla This Time!
Review: I was glad to see the REAL Godzilla in a movie and not the Americanized version from the Matthew Broderick flick. The Japanese Godzilla was nice to see and the movie is fun enough to harken back to the old days but I was somewhat disappointed. The DVD's image quality is really great. Presented in the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio that I so dearly love, the film looks beautiful with beautiful and bold colors and excellent detail levels. The audio options are for a 5.1 surround or 2.0 English dubs only. No original Japanese soundtrack w/ English subtitles, which is how I prefer to watch these flicks. Also included is a commentary track by the producer/WRITER of the American version. In in he reveals the differences between the two versions, including cutting 9 minutes of footage out of the US release. I would have like to have seen the original film as its director intended, leaving me a bit cold overall. All in all though it isn't a bad movie, just not the original. I'd still recommend it.
