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.

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Laura B Nov 30 Godzilla 2000 is a refreshing bit of fun after the lackluster Emmerich film. While the pacing can be off at times and the CGI doesn’t seem quite there yet, the practical effects are charming and at times extremely impressive, the characters are likeable enough, and the film doesn’t take itself too seriously. See more Vincent W @Gojirilla5419 Sep 21 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. See more Khaliel P Aug 24 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. See more Benjamin C Jun 19 This movie of the Godzilla saga is the best movie, this Godzilla is a classic for the 2000s See more Dustin B Apr 29 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. See more Lee B Mar 19 An American GI Joe Godzilla movie - it totally misses the point of Godzila - Dont bother watching this - watch some real Japanese Godzilla movies instead - this is bloody pitiful, awful, total GI Joe rubbish.
