I enjoyed it.
>10 years old>saw it in theaters>got mom to buy the VHS>and the soundtrack>and the shitty rubber puppet for burger kingyep, i'm thinking it's kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIUAC03YMlA
Cartoon was better.
YES IT IS VERY GOOD OVERALL.(CONS!)> Lack of classic Godzilla's aggressiveness & invulnerability.> Arguably too much time playing Jurassic Park with the babies (I was fine with it)> Arguably too much time spent on romance (didn't bother me the last time I watched it)> CGI for the babies doesn't hold up.(PROS!)> God tier score & opening credits.> Great first attack on NYC, handled in a realistic disaster manner similar to how Gamera 3 handled it although less bleakly.> Fantastic submarine battle.> Good Helicopter chase.> Cool military porn that isn't ever "America fuck yeah-ish"> Godzilla's death scene is extremely well done regardless of the disappointment of him being killed by normal missiles.> Godzilla's classic nuclear origin & nature remains intact they just swapped America for France.> Decent to good overall cast. Reno is solid. Broderick is a bit meek but still a likable enough non annoying lead.> Zilla's design is solid just not for being Godzilla.> CGI for the adult Godzilla holds up reasonably well.> Practical effects for the babies is decent (their heads are a bit oversized).(External opportunities it presented & took advantage of!)> Spawned the fantastic animated series.(External opportunities it denied us!)> It assfucked us out of the beautiful looking Stan Winston (rip) Godzilla movie.
>>221984172This The cartoon actually made zilla look badass and had him fight a huge range of monsters. The film was too fucking boring
>>221984439Bump
>>221984042>There's a living, breathing creature the size of the Chrysler Building burrowing around underneath New York City Bugs Bunny-style and the United States Military has absolutely no way of finding itIs this the dumbest thing in a franchise that includes black hole guns, time travel, anti-gravity crystals, monsters speaking via word balloons, and wormhole portals?
Mogged by Kinozilla 2000.
>>221984042stupid movie and Jean Reno is the only good thing about it
Maria Pitillo
obviously a terrible Godzilla movie, but as a brainless 90s summer action movie it's p. fun
UH YEA UH UH YEA UH YEA UH UHCOME WIF ME
>>221984042My family had a weird tradition where every time we invited my uncle over for Thanksgiving he just wanted to watch this movie and eat food and then he would leave. Granted we didnt have a huge DVD selection and not much of it was great but it happened every year for years, like we couldve been watching Jurassic Park or Jaws or the original Godzilla or something but he always laughed at the jokes in the 2008 film whenever Broderick or the french guy did a joke and it was wholesome. For me its just permanently the Thanksgiving movie now. I miss having dinner with him, he's still alive just doesnt talk so much anymore
>>221984042I remember the texture on the vhs box
>>221984042This ones hard to watch as a japanese godzilla godzillahead. It isn't >my lizard. It's something else, and I always disliked it for that reason. If it wasn't called godzilla, itd be an okay monster movie. As a 'zilla flick? It's disgusting
>>221986300Based.2000 is extremely underrated.Pros> Genuinely unique villain monster.> Solid grounded Godzilla vs military scenes. Good use of real tank footage.> Very good score.> Family was likable & the kid wasn't annoying.> Odd but comfy tone related to the mysteriousness of the alien.> Fantastic extended opening Godzilla attack.> While there was some issues with his size fluctuating, more than almost any other non CGI movie in the franchise, this film did a great Job of inserting Godzilla into the distance of real shots.> Great Godzilla suit & a very fresh redesign that notably contrast with the heisei suits while still feeling very G.> The American Cut's editing, pacing & sound is universally agreed to be better than the Japanese cut.Not any full cons of note I can think of. Some nitpicks.> Orga's claws are overly clunky and don't open or function.> Godzilla's restraint when being genuinely hurt by the missiles got kinda absurd, just blast them already.> Some of the American dialogue/dub/voices are hokey/silly but never harmfully so.FUCK the mother fucking argogant cocksucker who refused to make the direct American sequel with the lava bat monster in Hawaii with Bruce Campbell, Spock & Christoper Lee all because he made Spider-Man bucks & Godzilla was now beneath him.
>>221986618I like when orga eats him and godzilla blasts his stupid alien ass from the inside out
>>221986611>as a japanese godzilla godzillahead>lizardSlit your wrists and throat you poser fucking normalfaggot
>>221986697relax nig
>>221984151Did you have the godzilla cup holder from taco bell?
>>221984042I liked it too, like a less mystical approach to Godzilla
>>221986969What's mystical about a radioactive mutant lizard
>>221986349Pitillo can be slang for marihuana joint in spanish
>>221986997Movie is less mystical than the classic Godzilla lore
>>221987021I can't really think of anything mystical in old Godzilla lore other than Mothra. Everything else was "explained" through pseudo-science or ayylmaos.
>>221984042I watched this so many times as a kid that to this day it's still the first thing I associate with Hank Azaria, even before The Simpsons.
>>221986427Even the director of Minus One said it was a good monster movie on its own terms.
>>221987276This but the french guy and leon the professional
>>221987984Also this
"you better step on it Mr Frenchie!"peak movie, for a lad who felt he had 'taste' as a kid,who else loved Independence Day?
>>221984042I remember crying as a kid when I first watched it and Goji died. Very first Godzilla movie I ever watched too.
