Some thoughts about this movie.
I thought it was pretty interesting. The "excuse-for-monster-fights" (A.K.A. "plot") was good enough for what it is, and it had some likeable characters. Felt pretty modern, too. Not in filmmaking aspects, I guess, but rather those previously mentioned characters. The protagonist seemed to have come out of the 80s. And he was a Manga artist. Ya. I know Manga isn't new, but it's more popular than ever today, so I guess that helped giving me this feel.
Some real cheesy aspects (even for a Godzilla movie) were apparent here, though, like the "bad guys" being cockroach-like people from another planet. And the talking between the monsters. I did see the original version without the ACTUAL speaking (and rather just noises), but it was still cheesy.
It seemed to be the first Godzilla movie to actually include a real tank, too. That's awesome. And it had some blood being shed!
Godzilla actually swims in this one, too, as opposed to just walking on the bottom of the ocean. That's a good improvement, because that made no sense whatsoever.
Overall, I thought it was an enjoyable experience, and I surely wouldn't mind watching it again.
