Godzilla 2000

This is a classic B-movie that doesn't deviate significantly with its story and, as a kaiju film, gives its audience exactly what they expect. Considering it was a film for the new millennium, I probably expected a bit more, but I'm not completely disappointed because the final monster, called Oruga, is simply a delight for the soul of every Japanese kaiju fan.

24) GODZILLA 2000 – ALTERNATE REALITY SERIES 1999-2001. Close Encounters of the Third Kind a-la Godzilla. A little awkward. Godzilla is largely absent, three quarters of the way through there is a not-so-engaging contact with a spaceship of an alien civilization that settles on one of Tokyo's skyscrapers and hacks government data, and only in the last 20 minutes or so the film delivers what has made the franchise so iconic. And that is action, which is scarce here, and although the alien monster with powerful front tentacles is indeed an "ugly motherfucker", its disposal is too quick and trivial. I enjoyed the ending, it was interesting. Only the philosophising of the protagonist, that Godizlla has protected us because he’s in each of us, sounds stupid with a shot of a destroyed city.
