the separation of the Godzilla chronology into "millennium" and "heisei" eras is pure garbage.
there is just Heisei, and it began with Godzilla 1984 ("the Return of Godzilla"). Yes this is before the end of the showa era, but it's a clear breaking point.
Godzilla (2000), on the other hand is not a clear breaking point as several other films after it also abandoned previously established continuity.
In the Reiwa era, both films have done this. Do each start their own "era" of the series? Of course not.
So anyone who talks about the "Millenium" series is human garbage and deserves to be killed
The millennium series really only consists of Millennium/2000 and Megaguirus. GMK, X Mechagodzilla/Tokyo SOS and Final Wars are distinct standalone continuities only lumped in to the Millennium series for convenience sake.
>Godzilla (2000), on the other hand is not a clear breaking point
No, that would be Godzilla Vs Destroyah, who signals the end of the Heisei storyline as a whole. Godzilla 2000 doesn't need to do anything special besides not be Heisei's tight continuity.
One of the most fun and entertaining Godzilla movies, I can imagine the diehard G fans probably hated it at the time but Godzilla was never known for quality movies or storytelling.
When it came out a decent chunk of the fans were pissed because the promo material was very heavy on the kaiju cast. pic rel was the kind of stills being released during shooting. But in the movie, most of them job pretty fast and there's not really any substantial fights besides the final one, most of the actual good action being human scenes. Godzilla just kinda rolls into a big empty set and cartoonishly stomps everyone in about a minute.
One side hated it, one side thought it was the best one ever, real emperors new clothes shit. Over the years though everyone seems to have cooled off and its appreciated as a pretty wild capstone to the 00's zilla era and a perfect time capsule of Japanese action cinema of its day.
Well they should be. At least as far as general quality of cinematic experience is concerned because it's one of the most blessed movie franchises in history.
Yes, Final Wars was absolutely despised by fans at the time including older Godzilla historians and authors but they keep b***hing about everything post-Showa.
Toho wanted that. But Kitamura wanted to keep making different versions of the matrix so he could escape to Hollywood. So the end result is a confused mess.
Just started watching Godzilla 1985 for the first time. Everywhere I read about this says it's the American Dub, how come the one I'm watching has British accents?
Depending in what dub you're watching a lot of them were done on the cheap in
a studio in Hong Kong, so a lot of the dubbers are Australians or Bongs putting American accents.
The US version "Godzilla 1985" has never been released on DVD due to rights issues. The DVD release we did get uses what I'm guessing is either a British dub or Toho's dub.

that's what I'm saying. there is no "millenium" series
there is only heisei
>there is only heisei
agreed. why even bother watching any of that millennium schlock
Megaguirus isn't a sequel to 2000 either, from what I recall.
Did you know the van from KotM is the same one from the millenium film

Pure. Fricking. Kino.
Unfiltered kino
Good and fun anniversary movie. Don't take it seriously. Just enjoy the show.
Also Don Frye as Captain Gordon and a plot worthy of its own tokusatsu series.
Donnie is kino
Pure kino.
I like it. I can forgive it for nearly destroying Godzilla forever.
I ike it more each time I watch it. Every long running franchise should be so lucky to get such a movie.
Showa > Millenial > Heisei
found the homosexual
True. Monster Zero, DAM, and Son of Godzilla mog basically every other sequel hard as shit.
Should I watch Shin Kamen rider?
Only if you're a completist fanboy or you have nothing else to watch(doubt). It's the worst of all the "shin" movies.
Sexy babes atleast?
No
kino
Its fun. You should give it a go
Yeah it's pretty kino
Millenium era sucks. The cgi effects are ass and the godzilla suit looks fricking stupid
80% Toho riffing on popular Hollywood franchises with cringe-inducing results
20% actual Godzilla movie, nearly as cringe
Also this.

It is you who suck.
Lommmoo
digits don't lie
The unwarrented death of two dutyful bros in hawaiian shirts
Gary Goodridge must have requested they kill him off or something because they didnt deserve that fate
It's pretty much the only Godzilla movie that's what normies think Godzilla movies are like.

If you’ve seen one Godzilla movie you’ve seen them all. If you enjoyed 1 Godzilla movie you’ll enjoy them all. Just do it before you grow out of it.
You don't get paid for engagement bait here.
I love Showa bu this movie did nothing for me. Millennium kinda sucks GMK and Against Mechagoji aside.
>I love Showa bu this movie did nothing for me.
It's literally a love letter to Showa.
Toho wanted that. But Kitamura wanted to keep making different versions of the matrix so he could escape to Hollywood. So the end result is a confused mess.
>So the end result is a happy little accident
Kitamura only cared about 70s Godzilla. If not for the Kiryu saga he would've included Mechagodzilla in the movie as well.
It's not like Showa didn't follow western trends like space flicks and James Bonds flicks
A big white guy being the true hero.
Are there really homies out there who hate Godzilla's design from the 2000 movie?
If there's one thing you can count on it's that for every Godzilla fan that loves something there's another who hates it.
It's bottom tier m8. Heisei is king design-wise, even if the movies are only mid.
I'm sorry, please learn to cope.
Not him but you’re moronic

It's on archive.org with annoying sidebars. Sure would be nice if some anon with the appropriate skills could remove the side bars.
