Just perfect...

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Many people praise this as one of the best Godzilla films. As expected, we get great allusions to the original 1954 film. They refer to it as the original Godzilla attack so it's kind of ambiguous as to whether or not they're aware it was a different Godzilla that time. We get to see the return of some of our favorite monsters in a massive all-out attack. Glad this made American theaters as it deserved to be seen. Godzilla's look is quite unique especially with his dead looking eyes. This was an attempt to get back to the roots of the original film.A pity that original film didn't have Godzilla fight other monsters. I especially like the ending here. Godzilla defeats Mothra who ends up sacrificing her energy to help Ghidorah. It was interesting to see Ghidorah on the side of good this time. Apparently, I've been pronouncing that guy's name wrong too. Ghidorah is also beaten by Godzilla! It takes direct help from the human character to plant bombs in Godzilla's body to do him in. It's rare you see Godzilla fighting other monsters and also destroying cities. I think even the 1998 Godzilla movie is alluded to here. ***

This film is now ten years old and it still retains its popularity. For this edition of its greatest movie series, Toho decided to take chances and do something quite different for the King of the Monsters and that chance basically paid off. The result was GMK.Plot: After about fifty years since Godzilla's rampage, a Japan where some have either forgotten or don't believe in the monster began having a series of mysterious events. A mystic old man warns that Godzilla, resurrected and possessed by souls lost during WW2, will once again go on a rampage, so he awakens the so-called Guardian Monsters: Baragon, Mothra, and King Ghidorah to combat the dinosaur.An interesting story, epic action scenes, and wonderful music are what keep this film going. However, some of the decisions made for this movie are my biggest problem. I didn't like how Anguirus and Varan, who were absent from a movie for SO long, got replaced by Ghidorah and Mothra, in the process making Ghidorah a good guy! What?! Mechagodzilla is one thing but Ghidorah?! The guardian monsters are smaller and weaker too (ex. Baragon doesn't have his fire breath in this movie!).Despite this, GMK is still a worthy addition to the series and worth a watch.

First I should probably mention that I don't really care much for the Millennium Series, it's silly, unorganized, etc. Except for this movie. This movie was actually pretty good. It has some pretty good acting. For a monster movie that is. The effects for this movie are also pretty good. Sometimes, during a Godzilla movie I can look closely to see Mothra's stings. But this movie was good in hiding them so they were not in sight. Now time to talk about the story line. At first I didn't like it, but now I thing its pretty good. The story line is a reboot ignoring all except for the original. To bad to note that buy this time all the millennium movies were reboot which is one of the reasons why I don't really like the millennium series. But as you all ready now this is the one installment I like. So I say check it out.

This is the first Godzilla movie directed by Shusuke Kaneko, and special effects director Shinji Higuchi (uncredited) of the '90s Gamera fame. All I can say after seeing this movie is "What happened ?". None of the greatness of Gamera movies are seen in this one, especially the special effects. Is this what company politics does to a movie ? If so, Toho management should all resign at once. The late president of Daiei, Yasuyoshi Tokuma who produced the Gamera series, and has been producing Hayao Miyazaki's animation movies for 30 years showed steady improvements in the movies he's produced. Toho's movies are off again on again affairs with qualities varying by quite a margin between each production. Doesn't this say volumes about the management of each company ? I've heard that in Kaneko's original plot, the monsters were Baran, and Angilas. Not Mothra and King Gidorah. Director Shusuke Kaneko was then asked to change the monsters to these more popular ones. I think with Baran and Angilas, the movie would have had a more sober feel to it and would have enhanced the story.I'd like to see Kaneko - Higuchi combination make another stab at making movies perhaps with Hollywood backing. Any Hollywood producers be interested in such a project ?
