Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000)

GvM contains some of the dumbest use of science that I've ever seen, but if I can accept a giant lizard without question then I guess I can’t say much about crazy human science. The purveyors of the silliness are an anti-Godzilla tactical unit created to combat the towering beast.
The creature scenes are mostly excellent, some are really mind-blowing, but all else is merely functional. More heart was needed to raise it above pure awesome spectacle into the realm of emotionally memorable. Nevertheless, I’d still highly recommend it to fans of the genre.
It’s the same suit that was used in Godzilla 2000 (1999), so the creature looks very, very pissed-off, like it went to the store for beer but they were all out of beer and it trod on a Lego factory on the way home.

It’s the 24th film in the series and the 2nd in the Millennium era (i.e. standalone, alternative sequels to the 1954 original).
