This 2001 Godzilla feature from Japan's Toho Studios, released as part of the mighty monster's 50th anniversary, is a visually impressive and action-packed entry in the long-running franchise, but also one with a fast and loose re-interpretation of its history that may displease some stalwart fans. Writer-director Shusuke Kaneko (who previously revitalized the Gamera series) erases everything that occurred after 1954's Godzilla and re-imagines the beast as a mythical creature harboring the souls of the Japanese victims of World War II; its attack is challenged by three "Guardian Monsters": Mothra, perennial villain King Ghidorah (here reinvented as hero) and B-list player Baragon (from Frankenstein Challenges the World). The retooling, while imaginative, is supported by spectacular special effects, but the monsters' brawls (a core reason for enjoying these films) seem abbreviated, and Kaneko's script experiences awkward seismic shifts from comedy to grim drama that may befuddle longtime G-fans. Columbia-Tri-Star's DVD is widescreen and offers Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and a Japanese language track (with English subtitles) that should please viewers with an aversion to dubbing. Trailers for other Sony/Columbia sci-fi titles like the American Godzilla feature are also included. --Paul Gaita

Description

After 50 years since his attack on Tokyo in 1954, the destructive monster Godzilla has somehow returned to life to destroy the city again. Now the religious cult must call upon the three monsters, King Ghidorah, Mothra and Baragon to protect Japan from Godzilla!

Godzilla ROCKS in this movie!.......2007-06-12

My 5 year old son has been watching Godilla movies with me for some time now, and this movie recently appeared on cable. I had never seen it before , and WOW - Gozilla ROCKS! He is certainly more agressive, and with his milky eyes seems far more sinister. Having King Ghidorah as a good guy was a little wierd, but seemed to work OK.
The special effects were excellent. The miniature work was above par in comparison to earlier Godzilla movies. And this lizard is MEAN.
There are no annoying "faries" sining songs on miniature Mothras, just an excellent movie overall.

Best G-Film of the Millenium series...Bare bones release.......2007-03-21

Despite the creative controls forced by Toho, Shusuke Kaneko delivers a fantastic entry to the Godzilla series, perhaps the best since Biollante in '89. Although there are a few plot elements that could have been better explained, GMK has a strong story and features memorable characters performing some of the most heroic acts since the golden age of the '60s. The effects are top notch, with very few "cringe" moments that often plague tokusatsu eiga. I can only dream of what could have been if Shinji Higuchi was at the spfx director's helm. But that's only a fanboy wish. In the end, while certainly nowhere near the masterpiece that is Gamera 3, GMK is a slice above the rest of the Godzilla series and we have Kaneko to thank for it.

The DVD by Tristar unfortunately suffers from the same minimalist approach as most of their other Godzilla releases. The film presentation is superb (and it should be...the movie was only 3 years old at the time of it's release). The 5.1 surround is fantastic and sounds great. The English dub is horrendous as usual, so don't bother listening to it. However, be forewarned: the subtitles on this disc are taken from the English dub and NOT from the original Japanese dialog. Therefore, expect a great deal of "loose" translations that may confuse you or even give the wrong information. In other words, those often idiotic phrases you will see do not come from the original script. Believe me, the Japanese acting is great and does not suffer from bad dialog (I've seen this movie with proper subtitles).

Extras are non-existent, which is a real shame seeing as the R2 release by Toho is filled to the brim with behind the scenes footage and documentaries. Why Tristar doesn't just use those is completely beyond me.

In the end, this is a worthwhile release and if you don't care about how they made it (which is too bad seeing as how suitmation BTS are fantastic to watch...more interesting than a bunch of people sitting at a computer rendering effects) then this is for you. If you are a geek like me and willing to spend a little more money, get a region-free player and buy Toho's disc (I plan on doing that soon).

The fat Godzilla.......2007-02-17

The big G is back and fatter than ever. The story is different in this movie, and I'm annoyed how they just push all the other godzilla movies out of the way. The three monsters who fight Godzilla, who are called Guardian monsters, are called Beragon, the newcomer, Mothra, the peacemaker and Ghidorah, the villian that has now turned hero. Godzilla's cool, his attitude being one of the crappiest I've ever seen, but they make him way too fat in this movie; and he's walks too upright to me. I think it's good, and Godzilla has done it again.

Now this is a Kaiju film!.......2006-07-21

This is the darkest Gojira film since the original from 1954. Thanks to the director of the awesome "Gamera: Advent of Legion", Shusuke Kaneko. He has a knack for making dark, sinister, awesome Kaiju films. This is what Gojira is suppose to be: a wicked, unstoppable force. Gojira shows no mercy towards anyone or anything. Gojira purposely takes human life. Look for a scene with a girl in a hospital as Gojira approaches. Grant it, Ryuhei Kitamura's "Godzilla: Final Wars" is good, but it is nothing like this film. One of the great aspects of this film is that Gojira has all white eyes; being that he is possessed by the souls of dead soldiers. King Ghidorah being a savior of man is something different. He was always a destroyer of mankind. Overall, the finest Kaiju film in decades. MUST BUY!!!

Wow, wow, wow! Best Godzilla movie ever!.......2006-07-16

Outstanding Godzilla movie! This is the most well directed, well put together Godzilla movie that I have ever seen. Excellent quality here. The effects are truly incredible. The acting is superb. Godzilla looks better than he has ever looked.

This movie is intense and terrifying in many parts. You will be blown away by how great this movie is. Even for people who are not really Godzilla fans will enjoy this. This is the kind of movie that will just leave you saying, "wow". It's my all time favorite Gozilla film and anyone even slightly interested in Gozilla would surely enjoy this wonderful movie!

ASIN: B00008OM1X
Release Date: 2003-05-06

Amazon.com

Two years after unleashing The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms upon New York City, master special-effects creator Ray Harryhausen turned loose a giant (albeit six-armed) octopus on San Francisco, and the result is another enjoyable atom-age adventure that should please fans of vintage science fiction. Kenneth Tobey, who battled The Thing (From Another World) in 1951, stars as a Navy captain who pursues a monstrous octopoid (sextapoid?) after it attacks his atomic sub. After it wreaks havoc with shipping lanes, he tracks the creature to San Francisco for a final showdown. Scripting by George Worthing Yates (Them!) and Hal Smith and direction by Robert Gordon are perfunctory at best, which gives the always-reliable Tobey and co-star Faith Domergue little to do, but this is Harryhausen's show, and his monster, though budgetarily restrained, is still impressive. Younger audiences weaned on digital FX may find this creaky, but nostalgic viewers will enjoy its simple thrills. --Paul Gaita

SO IT ONLY HAD SIX TENTACLES IT IS STILL A CLASSIC!.......2007-03-08

If Ray Harryhausen had the buget they have for FX today,who knows what he would have been able to do! The story from what I've read was that the producers of the movie didn't have enough funds to make a 8 armed Octopus. You would never really know this unless told,as the Master Harryhausen was very clever in hiding the beast's missing tentacles. One of my favorites as a kid and it still holds up. The DVD transfer is good with some very cool extras.

Uh Oh! It's a Giant. . .Sixtopus?.......2007-02-05

Ray Harryhausen is back again in this nifty and fun Fifties monster movie. Okay, so Columbia Pictures kept slashing the budget until the only way Ray could do the beast justice was to animate SIX arms (take a look at JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS' Hydra sequence and that'll give you a good idea of how much more time, and in Hollywood that means how much more money, it would have taken to keep EIGHT arms constantly moving and in character!) Well, whether there are six or eight arms, this big ol' beastie still manages to wreak havoc on San Fransisco and the Golden Gate Bridge (classic sequence!).

The great Kenneth Tobey is in the lead, Faith Domergue and Donald Curtis bring up the rear for the main cast, cuz ya gotta have some story to keep everyone still until the Sixtopus arrives. They all handle the lines well, keeping this admittedly preposterous tale anchored on terra firma.

And the DVD has some keen bonuses, too! THIS IS DYNAMATION is a promo film made to hype THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD (and if you haven't, you know you gotta see this one, too!); THE HARRYHAUSEN CHRONICLES is a loving overview of the great man's career, narrated by Leonard Nimoy. There are also three trailers for Harryhausen films, and one for CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.

The Grand Master of stop-motion animation does it again! Get yourself some popcorn and a big soft drink and check out (ooooh! scary!) IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA! BIG fun!

What an octopus!.......2007-01-09

A giant octopus coming out of the ocean depths to crush ships and eat their sailors! Wow, what a concept. Fun classic movie -- typical black and white classic monster movie that is entertaining, although corny by todays' standards. I think they are the best though - no matter what the movie industry can do today with special effects -- these old black and white classic monster movies are the best!

Harryhausen's Octopus.......2006-12-21

"It Came From Beneath the Sea" is a black & white sci-fi film from 1955, featuring a little bit of stop motion animation from Ray Harryhausen. It's not my favorite film that his animation has featured in, but it has some interesting moments.

Thanks to H-Bomb radiation, a giant octopus has been forced out of its Pacific Ocean home, looking for fresh food to eat. Fish, according to the marine biologists of the film, have an internal geiger counter. Since the octopus had been exposed to H-Bomb radiation, the fish can sense it right away, and swim off before it can eat them. The octopus' hunger has sent it further and further into the ocean, and it is now causing trouble all over the Pacific. The US Navy are soon out investigating. Will they find the beast? Will they stop it before it causes any trouble?

Its not the most interesting film, but its okay. There's a lot of dialogue and wandering about, and when there are some special effects, its mostly tentacles. There's also a love triangle of sorts between a marine biology teacher, a navy officer and a scientist, which is kind of an odd dynamic.

Special features include the great documentary "The Harryhausen Chronicles", which crops up as a special feature on quite a few Harryhausen related DVDs. It's narrated by Leonard Nimoy, features interviews with Ray Harryhausen, along with George Lucas, Ray Bradbury and others, and covers Ray Harryhausen's life from when he was first inspired by King Kong all the way to his winning of an academy award in the early 1990s for his work. There's a bit of rare animated footage from various unfinished projects too, which was interesting.

It's okay, all up, probably not the first Harryhausen related picture to check out though.

sensational sextapoid! tantalizing test tube!.......2006-08-22

this is a terrific example of harryhausen magic. missing appendages notwithstanding (and, let's face it, who would honestly notice if they hadn't been told?), the creature is a wonderful piece of animated model work.

i'm surprise that noone else has caught (or mentioned, at least) the blatant sexual innuendo! the initial flirtation scene, when the captain corners the female scientist in the lab, is a riot -- check out how she's handling that test tube! then he proceeds to light up a cigarette (despite the "no smoking" sign right behind him)... hrmm...

submarine attack.......2002-02-06

This movie is okay to watch, but it's a little boring. When there is action the movie is good, when they sink a ship. Other than that it is a routine patrol of an Italian U-boat. Not a bad movie if you are really interested in submarines.
