A pretty good iteration of Godzilla bringing him into the new millennium
This is a really good kaiju movie that has amazing suits and regular monster movie acting that you would expect.
not the best filmmaking-wise, but the monster designs and colours are worth watching it for alone. watch out for dated cgi, though
Another great entry in the ever growing Godzilla franchise, it's just fun. Great destruction scenes and a surprise monster fight at the end.
Still trying to make out Gojira is a baddie, but you are still cheering the big man in a suit on!
Great example of the standard Godzilla formula done right.
Unexpectedly good, for a return to series it's one of the best.
I've not seen many Godzilla movies, but this is my personal favorite to date. Its often disperate elements come together nicely. Kitschy.
Bad dubbing, silly story, and strange pacing all equal a fantastic time. A great rebooting of one of the greatest cinematic creatures ever.
Godzilla is back and he's pissed at Roland Emmerich. To punish humanity, he'll take his anger out on Japan and take down an alien or two.
