Title: Godzilla 2000
Post by: Andrew on February 21, 2009, 11:19:47 AM
This movie proves that there is a little Godzilla in all of us.  Yes, even those of you who think that a flying blue nose from outer space is out to get you.

I really enjoyed this one. Is it just me or is Orga based on a Broderick 'zilla toy that spent 30 seconds in a microwave?

I want to say I heard that somewhere and it really made my day.

This is one of my favorite Godzilla movies.  It just has so many great moments.  Godzilla and the spaceship facing off and powering up their respective weapons.  Godzilla marching through town, confronting the spaceship, and saying, "Hey!  You!"  (Of course he doesn't really say that but you know that's what he's thinking).  Godzilla melting his way out of the tendrils.  Well, pretty much everything Godzilla does, actually.

Ha!!!!  I block your 8/8 Godzilla with my Shivan Dragon, pump 3 red mana into its firebreathing and kill your Force of Nature.  Sure, I lose 3 life, but it's worth it.

Wait a sec...isn't Force of Nature the one that hurts you...dang it!!!

There's always been discussions about which movies show Godzilla as 'force of nature' vs. 'evil entity bent on destruction'...for the latter, I pick "Godzilla,Mothra, King Ghidorah: All Out Monsters Attack". Yeah, lil' ol'
Baragon is there too--but whatever. I especially cringe when Godzilla, with his 'soulless eyes look', turns to see the
fleeing populace, powers up and--well---does anyone enjoy fried, human sushi?

As for Godzilla 2000---I saw it once. Can't remember too much about it. I'll have to re-rent.  :teddyr:

Theyve been showing this one one of movie channels, and I think its one of the better of the new series of Godzilla movies.  When you think about it, their would be people who would chase giant monsters the way they would case tornadoes, of whale watch. (Sort of a hybrid of the two)

You'd think Orga would have been a better opponent for Godzilla though, considering that he supposedly has the mind of an advance alien species.  He was either driven to beastial intellegence by Godzilla's DNA-or he was the equivalent of a test chimp.

Two things, well 3...
1) I LOVE KAIJU- thanke for the review
2) If he was a japanese male my brother would look just like Katagiri
3) I took a girl to this film on a first date, there was a second date, but there was a disticnct lack of ethusiasm.

Godzilla movies are mental comfort food for me. This one is the colaflower yet with a good spinich dip.
Nerd point : AIM-9 Sidewinder do not drop off the launch rails, they just slide forword and go. Also, with 15 lb warheads...not a lot of bang for the bock, kaiju wise.
Another goodie, Andrew.

The magic blue elves from outer space, in their flying blue nose.  Now the movie makes sense.  Yes, I'm being serious.  It makes more sense than the rest of the flying alien blue nose plot.

Ha!!!!  I block your 8/8 Godzilla with my Shivan Dragon, pump 3 red mana into its firebreathing and kill your Force of Nature.  Sure, I lose 3 life, but it's worth it.

The main problem is that Godzilla would probably have howl from beyond, berserk, and fork on him when he attacks.  I remember seeing a kurd ape that caused over 200 damage, just because everybody at the table suddenly decided to see just how big a kurd ape could get.  I have not played Magic: The Gathering for probably ten years, but I do still have an alpha lord of the pit somewhere in a protective case.  Loved that card.  All black and ominious.

I liked the storm chasers angle.  My main issue was that the special effects could be uneven, and that Godzilla's opponents (the blue nose and Orga) were not satisfying in the least.  Maybe if the opponents had been a number of flying saucers, then the plot could have remained largely the same.  The human plot stopped being interesting around the time that Shinoda tried to find out what the aliens were looking for in the computer system.  Of course they want to know about Godzilla.  Everything else they found on the planet was mediocre.  "Hairless apes, hairless apes driving cars, hairless apes on cell phones...hey, what the heck is that thing?"

This movie is okay, but alot of the cgi scenes look terrible. All in all its not as terrible as say godzillas revenge, and the story blows my mind everytime i hear it, but hey its a godzilla movie i don't want a story i want a giant monster destroying stuff! That banner below me is pure genius!


Probably my least favorite Godzilla movie, but it's squarely targeted at children.  Godzilla movies seem to be more adult-oriented.

There are some great destruction scenes in the 1992 Godzilla vs. Mothra.  Godzilla fighting the futuristic army and Mothra charging through the blockade of ships are some of my favorites.  Overall, I tend to like models blowing up.  "Real" special effects.  It seems like model work is more forgiving than CGI when something does not come out quite right.

I have a story about a first date that involved seeing "Man's Best Friend."  There was never a second date...

I saw this one in theaters back when it originally came out.  Not the worst Godzilla movie that I've seen but far from being the best either.

They should have  just stuck at this point with practical effects work instead of trying to intergrate CGI into the mix as the CGI stuff just looked terrible.

My favourite part was what happened after Shinoda uttered that ridiculous line about there being a little Godzilla in all of us. As if sensing instinctively that somebody had said something nice about him, Godzilla immediately turned around and set fire to half the city with a single breath.

Roll credits.

Heh!  8/8 trample is too weak!

This is more like it.   :thumbup:

By the way, I also own a Lord of the Pit.
Not sure if it's an Alpha, though.

I remember seeing this when it had a brief theatrical run in the U.S. I was f*cking stoked! I grabbed some friends (who weren't keen on the idea of seeing the flick) and went in with huge expectations. In the end.... THEY had more fun watching it than I did. (Mainly because I was trying to sort out how it all went wrong while they poked fun at the flick.)

I watched it recently and though I liked it more than my first viewing, Godzilla 2000 is probably my least favorite Goji-flick. (Truthfully, if I had the choice, I would actually watch "Godzilla's Revenge" instead.) Then again, I wasn't a big fan of "Godzilla vs. Megaguirus" either......

The inclusion of CGI, well before it was "mastered," definitely hurts this flick, but not as much as the awful "flying nostril of destruction." I have the U.S. cut, but I would definitely like to give the Jap cut a go, as there are apparently a few differences.

I love this film, the blue nose is ludicrous and incredibly fun to watch. Slogra was ok, just so bulky that it didn't feel like a real menace.

And... if Godzilla is inside every one of us, how come I can't shoot radioactive beams out of my mouth?

Much like any other foreign movies released to the united states, Godzilla 2000 has to be tampered with. Removing scenes and and switching things around, just like Jackie chan's hong kong films or Jet Li's hong kong films, they have to be cut and dubbed. And then the distributors when they release the movie on DVD don't add any bonus features like deleted scenes or the original soundtrack or voices to the film.

Bad Andrew!!!

I love this movie.  It's so campy and it totally embraces the Gflicks of the 70s.  I love the new suit, I think it's a great design, one of my favs.

However you didn't use the best line in the entire movie

"This missle will go through Godzilla like crap through a goose!"

I howled with laughter in the theater at that.

And it was such a treat to see a real G flick in the theater again....

Okay,nice and slow.

In the year 2000,the Y2K crisis has pasted,however underwater sonar's all over the world have detected a large moving radioactive object,now what do you suppose it could be?.

Shinoda,head of the Godzilla Prodiction Network decides to to go in a rather small boat to find out.

Now remember in 1995 Godzilla finally died!,so we know it can't be him,or,well in 1998 something that looked vaguely like Godzilla did attack New York.

I wish we'd have a Godzilla vs. Biollantie sight,it started with Godzilla cells and a scientist who's daughter was dieing,he took her cells and G-cells and made a monster rose bush,there might have been some G-cells blown to the four winds,I think we're about to find out it could be true.

If that wasn't enough,a new underwater harbor's being made in Tokyo Bay,while digging the ocean bottom,the crew strikes some hard object.

It's here we meet Katagiri,he is Japan and Japan is Katagiri!. He orders the thing to be brought up and much to our surprise,it's another ufo!,wow big surprise.

To make along story short,the foolish people take it to a glass highrise then enter it,what they discover is a highly advanced state of technology,no life,I guess the aliens died,but they find some sort of container with liquid.

If anyone remembers Ultraman episode Evil Repeated,you know by now you should never take an unknown liquid to the lab and shoot artificial lightening at it.

Back to the Godzilla search,Shinoda and his girl Yuki do indeed discover the large object is yet another Godzilla,reborn by radioactive G-cells.

Oh boy,this is going to get ugly!,with a capital U!,Godzilla finally makes himself known to the world once again and as always heads for Japan,why always Japan?,we finally learn the answer in Godzilla All Monsters Attack,so you'll have to wait until that sight is up and running here to finally find out the real answer to that question,the only thing we need to know now he's back and headed for a nuclear power plant to get stronger before destroying Tokyo again!.

For hither to unknown reasons Shinoda Yuki,and Shinodas daughter Io seem to have compassion and understanding for Godzilla,even though he's about to visit death and destruction on Japan once again,well as long as it's Japan that's.

When Katagiri learns of this,he has a fit!,and orders everthing short of nuclear weapons to be used against Godzilla,the battle's awesome but the results are the same!.

Still Katagiri's not giving up,everyone fights Godzilla till no one's left!,and nuclear plants are ordered shut down!.

Back at the ufo liquid deal,stupid scientists subject the liquid to artificial lightening,and as if Godzilla headed there way wasn't bad enough,a Godzilla 98 clone comes up through the roof and starts to lumber down the streets of Tokyo!.

On a bright sun shinny day what else could happen,the ufo's espoused to the sun and some how gets reactivated!. Look Out!,breaking glass is flying everywhere!,and so's the ufo.

At this point people are losing there minds,because Godzilla shows up.

Everything and anything and anyone for that matter that's in the way is destroyed and killed!.

Wow,what a day,that's turning into night!,obviously Godzilla saw Godzilla 98,I did too,is it any wonder he's more angry than usual!,meantime on board the ship we see computers that seem to be relaying information about everything going on,to what alien race we don't know,but a lucky shot from Godzillas tail causes it to crash and it's blown to smithereens!.

Then G-98 tries to eat Godzilla,oh nothing like a yucky gooey 98 clone to try to make a quick snack out of you!.

Godzilla does something to cause 98 to spit him out then he finishes it off and again really lights up the night!.

Now after all's said and done,we'd finally think Godzilla would leave in peace like Gamera always does,well.

Katagiri's amazed at how close they all are to Godzilla,he gives Big G that smug look as if to no matter what you think Japan is mine,and I'm Japan!,Godzilla rises his fist and by by Katagiri!.

Yuki thanks Godzilla for saving them from this awful double threat,and ask Shindoa why Godzilla acts the way he does,Shinoda explains,"Because there's a little bit of Godzilla in all of us"?.

I'd rather have a little Gamera in me myself because after a nice complement like that Godzilla turns around and proceeds to barbecue the other side of Tokyo!,then storms off!.

We are then treated to a still shot of Godzilla battling  G-98 and the spaceship with weird ending music and the credits.

You must be kidding. This is one of the most entertaining movies I ever went to see at the theater. There was me my buddy and a guy and girl couple in the other corner of the theater and that was IT. My buddy and I had the time of our lives doing an MST3K number on this flick.
It was belly splitting fun.
First off, the "godzilla" detector suv. I mean "come on folks" do you really need all of that to find a 300 foot radioactive lizard? How about a geiger counter and binoculars?
Puhhhleeeezeee.
But it was funny. :bouncegiggle:

I, quite proudly, own this movie. Having watched it several times, it still provides great amusement for me. I especially like the scene where Orga tries to EAT Godzilla. I could see Orga's demise coming from 2 miles away, however. No one gets away with eating Godzilla.

So after like 20 some odd movies they finally found out that Godzilla can quickly regenerate his own body very quickly....no f*cking duh. You've used every device, every alien, monster, robot in your power to kill him, and it can't be done. You JUST NOW take a piece of his flesh that fell and see the fast regenerating cells form. Wow, Japan. Keep your inventions and primary interests in anime, porn, wrestling, and nintendo. cause everything else isn't really your hobby.
