It has razor sharp teeth in a gargantuan mouth; claws that can cut through steel; a roar that echoes back through the centuries; dorsal fins that resemble crimson lightning bolts; and fiery breath that incinerates everything it comes into contact with. Soon, all in the creature's wake is utterly destroyed, and a terrified Japan can only wonder where this monstrous beast will next appear. Godzilla, king of the monsters, is back.

Critics Consensus

Godzilla 2000 is cheesy, laughable, and good entertaining fun.

Godzilla 2000 is everything hard-core fans want it to be. So corny. So campy. So MST3K-ready. And, God bless it, so badly dubbed in English, it soars.

I'd say this movie fulfills its duties.

Godzilla 2000 proves that you really can go home again -- and you can also keep on trashing it.

The final third is a giant monster version of a WWE match between the Big G and the alien upstart, with the pug ugly alien mutating on the move.

After all the humans' blathering about studying him or killing him or why's-he-keep-saving-us-after-we-created-him-but-now-try-to-destroy-him?, the big scaly brute's got the best idea for taking the piss out of this movie--keep roaring unintelligibly.

As a big fan of the 1998 movie. I had to take the opportunity to see this in theatres and it was horrible. Among my least favorite movies, although i'm sure it and others can get worse. It is better than Starship Troopers 2, but maybe only slightly. If it were the last movie on earth, I might watch it one more time but I'm not sure I could get to the end again.

Undeniably cheesy and cliche, Godzilla 2000 absolutely delivers on the fun, with some good effects, surprisingly competent dubbing, and a fun monster battle.

It’s one of “those” Godzilla movies that you watch once and the only other times you watch it is in the background of a friend being over. But it’s better than ‘98 and Orga is one of my favorite Godzilla Kaiju.

After the disastrous reception of the 1998 American Godzilla, Toho reclaimed its monster and launched the Millennium era with Godzilla 2000: Millennium. Darker in tone and visually striking, the film restores the kaiju’s power and menace, though its narrative is shaky: Japan is supposedly attacked by Godzilla for 45 years without visible consequences, and the human cast is weak. The CGI effects, particularly Orga’s early form, are painfully dated, but the practical suit work and fight choreography remain strong. Godzilla’s new design is fierce, if slightly exaggerated. Ultimately, the film succeeds in re-establishing the monster’s mythic presence, even if it’s a shaky start to a new era.

Godzilla 2000 is an example of not caring for state of the art special effects, Oscar winning acting, or phenomenal script writing, it’s just here to be a fun, exciting, awesome Godzilla film, with not much thought behind it, and it knows that. The effects, while not up to the 1998s Godzilla level, is still improved from the previous films, and the final fight is spectacular.
