consider the critical and financial flop of the u make godzilla ( 1998 ) and i be very surprised that anyone bother to release this movie stateside . i be also very glad they do and since this show exactly how to make a g movie . you use the original big g himself . even though a lot of the effect in this film still involve the man in a suit a saurus style of monster and they be excellent . there be a lot of fairly good cgi eye candy and the revamped godzilla suit be truly a sight to behold . the big guy hasn not look this good since his initial escapade back in 1954. it always hard to figure out where the movie exist in the godzilla canon ( there be basically four era represent the first two movie and the movie after that up until the initial series end in 1975 and then the revivial in the eighty that begin with godzilla 1985 and end with godzilla vs. destroyah and and now this film ) and but it seem to begin another era of g film and with no apparent link to any of the other one and other than the original movie gojira . this be basically just a fun movie . full of action and a bit of suspense and a lot of crunch time . just what a g fan want .
