I have seen all this before. Toho must be running out of ideas to keep bringing back old adversaries. While its nice to look at, and the effects are good, GXM brings nothing new to the table.

Come ON, Toho, get it right!!!!!I mean, only one of the four Millenium Series of Godzilla films has been good (that one film being GODZILLA, MOTHRA, KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK). Godzilla seems to have been caught in some sort of slump. It's getting reeeeeeaally annoying how Toho feels the need to keep reinventing the Godzilla history over and over and over again! (Can you spell "Overkill?")The only reason I gave this particular entry two stars is because I didn't see all of it, so for all I know it could have a spectacular ending. But from what I saw of it, I couldn't finish it. This is probably due to the fact that it's done by the same nimrods who gave us the atrocious GODZILLA VS. MEGAGUIRUS. Thus, GXMG shares the exact same flaws that GXM did: it was boring, the action was poorly staged, the special effects shoddy, and the plot seriously lacking. Furthermore, I wish they would give us a truly good Godzilla suit and just STAY with it! GMK had an excellent and scary G-suit; all they had to do was get rid of the unfortunate pot belly and use it again for this film. But noooooooooooo, they had to go back and copy the suit from GODZILLA 2000 and GXM. That suit just plain sucked. But they made some changes to this newest suit, so luckily it's not quite as bad. Heck, it could've been great! But it is kept from greatness for one main reason: it . . . . just . . . . stands there! And does nothing! It doesn't even flinch to anything. I miss the good ol' days, before the Heisei series, when Godzilla had a little mobility!Then comes another flaw: MechaGodzilla (or "Kiryu" in this movie). The design is okay, I guess, though I prefer that of the Heisei MechaGodzilla. But both these robots share the same problem. You see, in the original two Godzilla flicks with MechaGodzilla, it was just a robot being controlled from outside. Now, ever since the Heisei series, every single robot has been controlled by pilots from the inside. I'm sorry, but all that succeeds in doing is looking like a carbon copy of Power Rangers, as well as take away MechaGodzilla's mobility. Now, all he does is stand there and shoot some sort of laser or rocket or something. This makes the battle scenes just plain boring. (Like I said, I didn't see all of it. I only saw up to the part when Kiryu went haywire, for a really stupid reason I should add. The ending might be good, but the rest of a film should be strong enough to make the viewer actually care about, and want to get to, the ending. It is in this that GODZILLA AGAINST MECHAGODZILLA fails . . . . . miserably. )So, in short, a rather pointless entry in the Godzilla saga. The only reasons for it's existence are: 1) To include a MechaGodzilla, which seems to be a requirement for every cycle of Godzilla films. 2) To serve as a predecessor to GODZILLA, MOTHRA, MECHAGODZILLA: TOKYO S. O. S. , which looks absolutely fantastic. And if not even that, there's always GODZILLA: FINAL WARS to look forward to. They'd better bring back Anguilus . . . . Rating: 2 / 5 . . . . .

This film is seriously bad. The FX are terrible and, overall, outdated. The acting, storyline, dialogue, plot and characters are silly and shallow. A good Godzilla movie can definately be done with great realistic FX, decent story and characters, why do they keep on making this trash? I prefer the american version of Godzilla to this one 100 times. Even the latest Gamera movies have much better Fx than this one. Overall: MEDIOCRE.

I have seen many a Godzilla movieS and most are a lot of fun. This one is of the most recent of the series and like many of the new ones its only connected to the very first movie. It has excellent special effects especially the fight scenes between Godzilla and MechaG in the city. Very well done. New weapon is very well done. But it suffers from a boring been there done that plot. Simular characters story lines to the previous G vs Magagurius movie. BUT where Megagurius had sloppy special effects (especially the big G who looked awful, lifeless and dull)- Megagurius had a much more original story line. This time old Mecha is back and bigger and meaner and we have these TERRIBLE flashbacks to awful monsters of the past like Bigfoot!?! Why oh why would you put one of the stupidest monsters in a flashback! (of course I hear in the new movie being made now they are bringing back King Seesar/Ceasar!!?! Damn it!). It just shows that although the technology has greatly improved the quality control around these films hasn't. I gave it three stars for the fight scenes which are very well done. But characters and story especially in the first act are a major yawn. ****ALSO: my Wife is Deaf so we use the close caption on our TV and there is a GIGANTIC difference between the dubbed in english and the CC. *** THIS IS THE MISTAKE I MADE, THERE IS NO CC ON THIS DVD IT WAS THE ENGLISH SUBTITLES I WAS WATCHING AND THEY ARE TERRIBLE! THEY DON'T EVEN MATCH THE DUBBED IN ENGLISH IN ANY WAY WHAT SO EVER. Rating: 3 / 5 AMENDED REVIEW:
