November 19, 2011Everything the American adaptation should have been. It updates Godzilla for the modern age while still remaining faithful to what makes these movies so enjoyable. The visual style is still the same affair with Godzilla being a guy in a rubber suit and model cities being blown ... read more

May 7, 2011Not the best start to a new series of Godzilla movies, but it'll do. It did have some work to do after the shitstorm that was the American Godzilla. It mostly makes up for that. We get a guy in a suit, looking better than ever. The film also brings us some CGI, with a wonderfully... read more

September 11, 2009"Godzilla 2000" is not anything like the "Godzilla" movie that graced the theatres a few years ago and that most people hated. It's a lot more like the old Godzilla movies that were made decades ago such as "King Kong vs. Godzilla" and "Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster."
Yep that's ... read more -

July 24, 2010"Oh no!... There goes Tokyo!..Go go Godzilla"! .... Godzilla says to the japansese army, "Hey... Please stop shooting missles at me.. Your starting to piss me off"!!!!

September 14, 2009I cannot deny my love for rubber suited monsters and small scale models of Tokyo. Plus in this one you get to see a rubber suited Godzilla kick the crap out of CGI aliens. It is almost a Metaphor for my take on Special effects.

If you can slog through the endless exposition leading up to it, the climactic wrestling match over the latest scale model of Tokyo provides the summer's best guilty pleasure.

Mark Holcomb, Village Voice
Though it lacks the antic verve of its mid-'60s predecessors, Godzilla 2000 offers some interesting twists for connoisseurs. Full Review

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
A lovably amusing foray into vapid plotting, bad dubbing and men in rubber suits trashing miniature sets. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Sort of refreshing and fun to watch after a season crammed with envelope-pushing computer-generated imagery.

Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today
A couple of laughs at the expense of the intentionally horrible dubbing ... and amateurish acting.

Robert Horton, Film.com
I'd say this movie fulfills its duties.
