Godzilla 2000 (1999)
7/10
Very enjoyable despite not being a masterpiece
20 August 2000
Let me first say that I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I'm not saying it is an original film, or a profound film, or a masterwork of Japanese cinema. No, it isn't any of those things. It is, in summary, a movie about two big monsters duking it out in the middle of a major Japanese city and destroying as many buildings as possible in the process. It's loud, fast-paced, and is probably the best, production value-wise, of any of the recent Godzilla movies. It's also poorly dubbed and has a plot like most of the other Godzilla (or other kaiju) films, but who cares? It's fun to watch, and that's what counts! Ironically, this is also a much better movie, dubbing and all, than the 1998 Godzilla... Hollywood should take note that sometimes impressive special effects do not equal "fun."
