The real stuff..
This is a great movie,,, especially after viewing Godzilla final
wars in which it was a letdown. Godzilla: Vs. Megaguirus has the
true feeling of a Godzilla movie...a good script....good monsters
and hey...a bit of CGI in which it added quality to the movie. This is a movie that you will want to watch again...
great sequal to a great movie!
I really like this movie! It is a great sequal to G 2000 (Also a great movie)! Godzilla looks GREAT!
Buy this! It's a great movie!
P.S. Don't forget the bugspray!
A very fine Godzilla movie and a considerable improvement over "2000"
The 'Millenium' series, the third Godzilla film series, began in 1999 with "Godzilla 2000: Millenium". It was followed by this film - "Godzilla vs. Megaguirus". The premise involves a seemingly crazy idea: launch a black hole on to Godzilla, absorbing and containing him so he can't stomp on Japan anymore. The idea turns out to be not so crazy after all, and so a test firing is done. Unfortunately, while the test seems successful, it creates a wormhole, mutating a dragonfly and creating a horde of vicious, large dragonflies.
"Godzilla 2000", while fun, was not a spectacular movie. "Megaguirus" is a considerable improvement. Although it has its share of hokey moments (not the least of which is Godzilla leaping four-hundred feet into the air), it features an interesting storyline and a good script, not to mention a terrific score (by Michiru Oshima). The highlight of the film is the opening sequence, in which the story of the original 1954 Godzilla film is re-created using the new suit.
While "Godzilla vs. Megaguirus" can't compare to some later entries in the 'Millennium' series - namely "Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah" - it's a fine Godzilla movie that should please fans. Be sure to stick around after the credits ...
