This movie can be summed up by the word AWESOME. It has little pieces from other movies, like invading aliens, super human mutants, a futuristic monster hunting world agency, and of course, monsters. What this adds up to is some badass action. While most Godzilla movies come with a few scenes of a monster destroying a city and 1 or 2 scenes of Godzilla and monster fighting in between long scenes of little Japanese boys in short shorts, this movie has all that plus three on one monster battles, transforming monster battles, Human vs. Human battles, including two people fighting on moving motorcycles, and the best of all: Super Humans vs. Giant Monster battles. All of this brought to you by Kitamura Ryuhei, the guy behind the cult action movie Versus. Throw in Don "The Predator" Frye as a steel-balled drillspaceship captain guy and I dare you to name something more awesome.
Godzilla is awesome
Though some of the old school fans dislike the movie because it isn't very serious, I don't know how you can say no to scenes like Godzilla killing the Godzilla from the 98 American remake, billed here as Zilla, or a scene where a squad of people run down the sides of buildings and jump around like power rangers while fighting a Giant Lobster. Its not the greatest movie ever made, but if you can't have fun while watching a movie like this then you need to loosen up a bit. It's a perfect date movie!
