I can't believe you said you liked Final Wars...the worst Godzilla movie of all time as far as I'm concerned
What's so bad about it? (besides the Minilla subplot) It has giant monsters fighting and people fighting as opposed to every other Godzilla movie where there are giantmonsters fighting and people talking... and talking...and talking. Don't get me wrong. I love all Godzilla movies (even godzilla's revenge) but Final Wars is a thrill ride and a good finale. It's way better than Destroy all Monsters. That movie only has one good scene. And the damn dvd wont let you skip to it. Damn you ADV films!!!!
Just remember. There are such things.

Because it's a souless, Michael Bay esque type of film.  I think it's nearly an hour after the opening until we see Godzilla again.  The fights are brief and bland.  The human story is offensively bad and derivitive of American films.  The monsters aren't iconic, they just appear and die, over and over again.  The Minya sub plot comes out of left field, and goes no where.  The writing is horrible, the dialogue sucks, and oh yeah...it's not fun, at all! 

I'd almost rather watch the American Godzilla film than this film again...

Well the first one obviously buuuut that's a no-brainer and a non-fan answer.  My personal favorite is Ghidrah The Three Headed Monster.  Monster Zero is good too and Godzilla vs. The Thing/ Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) is pretty much held up as the best of the Godzilla films outside of the original.  I LOVE King Kong vs. Godzilla (the Japanese version) because it's a satire, it's hilarious and also the final fight if a great tooth and claw fight. 

Of the newer films Godzilla vs. Biollante (very hard to come by), Godzilla-Mothra-King Ghidorah Monsters All Out Attack (GMK...I don't like it very much but it's one of the better made films, with decent human drama and a return of a truly evil Godzilla)

I will say that I am more of a Gamera fan than anything else...I like the good guys in my giant monsters...and there are plenty of other non-Godzilla, Japanese monster/ sci fi films that are amazing.  If you have any questions...ask away, I might not have all the answers but I know people I can ask.

Thanks buddy..........I'm really hoping that some really cool modern Godzilla movie was made in Japan using today's technology. I was so damn excited for that Broderick until I sat through it. Piece of crap. I just hope SOMEDAY SOMEBODY will keep the spirit of the original (I want a EVIL 'Zilla) with some new effects.

   Since it was titled Godzilla, I will not consider this any where near a good Godzilla Flick but if all else, it wasn't a 1/2 bad giant monster flick. Just call it something else.

   I've always felt Godzilla vs Mothra (1992) was pretty good. I've always thought Invasion of the Astro Monster (1965) was really good. The worst: Son of Godzilla. It was terrible. Just a hodge podge of scenes cut up and put together. Also, Godzilla vs Megalon was horrible but the movie contains some of my favorite monsters in Megalon and Gigan.

   The newer Gamera boots kicked some major ass. The director of the three also did GMK, all Monsters attack which I thought had pretty decent fight scenes.

"Godzilla 2000" is probably my favorite modern Godzilla film. I like it for several reasons:
1. It had a U.S. theatrical run.
2. It was Toho's response to the horrible 1998 thing.
3. They gave a wink and a nod to Jon DeBont's "Twister," which was an extensive rewrite of his unproduced "Godzilla" screenplay, with the whole Godzilla Prediction Network plot.

I agree! Godzilla should be destroying cities and emptying school buses full of children down his throat, all with 21st century effects!

Where would you slot Gorgo among the hierarchy of Godzilla flicks?

  Question : There is one Japanese Kaiju movie I've waited years to see,' Yog - Monster From Space'  (also known as Space Amoeba).  Has this ever been released on DVD, or is there a place online to watch ?
