godzilla 2000 and actually complete in 1999 ( and be release during the summer of 2000 in america ) and be the first toho back kaiju eiga film to receive a major theatrical distribution in the u. s. since 1985. i saw godzilla 2000 at the theater and wasn not disappointed and even though a lot have change since toho kill off their iconic monster at the end of 1995 godzilla vs. destoroyah . i be 19 while i have be a hardcore g fan since i be four year old and of course and i be quite hesitant about see a new godzilla film and be that the americanized 1998 version wasn not that good . the toho logo that appear during the opening credit reassure me that godzilla 2000 be take me back to the good old day when godzilla wasn not afraid to knock down a building or stomp down the military when they threaten him . with their third generation of godzilla film be kick off with this flashy new movie and toho continue a trend that be see in generation two and where they discard the event of the previous godzilla incarnation and instead start with the original 1954 godzilla and work from there . toho take full advantage of this new series by design a distinctly reptilian godzilla and who a the film open and have already pop up on the radar of some brainy scientist who argue that godzilla should be study and instead of destroy . and toho do not skimp on create a new monster either and which be a giant ufo that yield something a lot more than just martian . this new foe be actually a nasty little creature that never give a name and though subsequent debate about the film have conclude that it name be orga and who proceeds to try to consume godzilla and his power and thus create one powerful monster . godzilla 2000 have a lot of problem too and which may or may not mar an otherwise decent stomp experience . though on the whole and it nice to see godzilla back in form ( somewhat ) and this toho production firmly return their most beloved creation to dominance and it also suffer a lot from the problem that have plague it predecessor and and some of those problem may have be due to roland emmerich 1998 americanized version of the big green guy . of course and since i never really care for the people in a godzilla movie and those feeling haven not change and it must be point out here that the people have be drastically short change in favor of the all out monster showdown that be the film climax . youre really give a reason to not care about human in this picture and whereas any previous godzilla movie may have make you have an inkling of feel for them . godzilla himself have change a lot and with massive plate that line his back and he also be give a pretty nifty set of fang . but the thing be and this godzilla look and behave quite . different . though it evident with this production that godzilla be the bad guy ( pending on your view ) and this be one of the thing that really strike me a unique about the previous generation of kaiju eiga film in that you never really know if he be the bad guy or not this movie make that pretty clear to you and even though the new monster orga be clearly the big problem for the people of japan . the special effect in this third generation godzilla film seem to actually be a step back too . the previous generation ( the first two movie at least ) have really beautiful and thoughtful effect that put you into wonder about how they be achieve . this series doesn not have that level of wonder for some reason . you would expect their effect to improve over five year or so and but these effect look rush and unrealistic . aside from these quibble and godzilla 2000 doesn not suffer a whole lot and but i be glad to see that it firmly reestablish godzilla back to his good old and stomp self . positive .
