Hmmmmm where to begin... <BR>Story- well of course theres always the setup of monster vs. monster. It starts w/flashbacks to g54(w the g2k suit!)and explains how due to G's relentless attacks japan outlaws most forms of energy(resorting to solar, etc..) But I won;t go over the plot. What made this cool was we see G emoting(ala the old 60's 70's series) being a bad *ss, but still staying serious. The direction and effects are almost on par w/Gamera.The use of effects are much improved, blending G w/live action VERY well.Theres very little overtly derivitive stuff(like the Hesei series). The villain, while looking like a re-hash of Battra, is actually pretty menacing. The scenes are fairly fast paced and exciting(as opposed to the slow g2k)The music is cool, w/out re-using old Ifakubes theme. You get to see a character ride G's fins! Anyway this film to me was the best of the last 20 years, and if you liked(or for that matter were dissappointed even) w/g2000 then check this one out. <BR> <BR>Thanks for asking RJ! Hmmm I think you need a copy...

It desperately needs to be released here in the states. <BR>On VHS and DVD. <BR> <BR>If that happens I'm hoping for a choice of original language with optional Subtitles or Dubbed on the DVD. (I prefer Subbed) <BR> <BR>A theatical release would be... interesting as well. ;) <BR>Again, Subtitled rather than Dubbed. <BR>That would help it be taken more seriously.

Hey, at least Gamera 2 is getting a limited release (theatrically), and Gamera 3 is supposed to be getting a nationwide release sometime next year!

THAT is VERY good news.. <BR>I haven't gotten the opportunity to see G3 yet. <BR>I'm told it's (both technically and artisticly) better than G2 which I was very impressed with. <BR> <BR>I've been holding off on GXM until I can get it on DVD (LOVE my new toy<IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">) But I may have to break down and get the VHS fom "Source X" <BR>(Dealer's real name withheld for diplomatic reasons)

That IS one dealer..... <BR>There are many. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> <BR> <BR>There's one that didn't SELL you bootlegged videos. <BR>They RENTED them to ya. No Late fees or replacement charges. You could rent a film on VHS for $20 and not really have to return it. ;) <BR> <BR>I need to get busy on those DVDs. I've only got TWO godzilla DVDs. Terror of Mechagodzilla and Godzilla 2000. Anyone know someone who carries a region free or region 1 DVD of Godzilla X Megaguirus????????
