In fact, now that I think about it...I think I'd throw that particular entry as in my list of favorites in the series. There's just something special about it... I'm a pretty big fan of Final Wars, also, though I completely understand why a person might not be. Son of Godzilla's pretty lame, but I always had a particularly strong aversion to Godzilla's Revenge. There's just something inherently wrong about a clip show version of a movie. Still, Minya's got that really goofy voice in the American dub...so, you gotta love that. Man, I love Godzilla movies.

It's been a pretty crazy ride with the big guy, from the flat out ludicrous to the "Hey, that was a pretty damn good movie." I'm a big booster of Godzilla 2000 which was light years better than the stupid American version. Still, GMK just didn't do it for me. Two thirds of the way through, I suddenly realized I'd seen it back whenever it was originally released on DVD. I actually kind of liked it then. But this second viewing just didn't hold up for me. The actual monster battles seemed predictable and repetitive and all the back story stuff just seemed all over the place and distracting. Don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying this is anywhere near as bad as something like Son of Godzilla, but for me, it was just kind of a disappointment. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Your thoughts here at Cinema Misfits are definitely appreciated.

GMK is by far one of my favorites; the story is consistently interesting and presents a unique take on the franchise, the special effects are generally great, Godzilla himself looks awesome and mean and the music is catchy. To me, the movie is just plain fun. I understand that the director had some trouble with Toho in regards to the story. His original vision had Godzilla squaring off against some lesser-known monsters like Varan. Too bad, because I think that would have made an even more interesting flick.
