[crazy88]

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has revealed a UK Region B release of the Roland Emmerich monster flick, U.S can at least expect a close Region A release by the same time of the UK's debut.

We were just talking about that movie with my brother today. Nice flick. Might buy it if it's cheap.

Thanks for the info. ^^

As a die hard Toho G-Fan, I'm going to have to pass on this one. It just isn't Godzilla to me, but even if it was named something else, it still doesn't stand on its own very well. I guess it's alright as a mindless popcorn flick.

Remember, his name is GINO (Godzilla In Name Only).

I never understood why I liked this movie.... but Ive always enjoyed it.

I am going to have to turn the bass up on this one.... I am ready for its release.

Wasn't there a quote from someone at Toho, saying that they liked to call the new one Zilla, as they took the 'God' out of Godzilla?

No clue what they called him in the one where Godzilla fights the 98 one, but I believe they semi-cannonized the 1998 movie by saying that American Scientists got Zilla confused with Godzilla or something...

Yeah I have this pre ordered and while I was at it I pre ordered Woodstock which comes out in June for only around $25 US.

SUCH a forgettable film. It doesn't really fail, just instantly disappears from your mind the second you watch it.

[hamisht]

love this movie, so many people dont like it, i dont know why, its got great special effects, awesome soundtrack and some funny comedy moments.

this would kick ass so much with DTS HD MA

I liked it and thought the CGI was quite good at the time even though the critics didn't like it.

what is up with your pic? Is that a hint of an upcoming release or just fan created? I remember you had the ring before this....


On topic, this movie wasn't bad but wasn't good either. I am sure it will look nice on blu. I will pick it up at some point during a sale.

I'm about 99% sure Toho did say that.

They make mention of the 98 Zilla in a couple movies from the Milennium era, actually. One they're talking about him, and a lower ranking officer at a meeting says something about his appearance in New York, and they wave it off as him being misidentified as you said.

In Godzilla: Final Wars (which sucked btw), Godzilla finally fights Zilla...another little jab by Toho, as Goji destroys Zilla in no time. Here's a link to the fight:

They need to release uncut The Return Of Godzilla on Blu ray! Not the atrocious butcher edited U.S Godzilla 1985! They haven't even release it on dvd yet!!

As for the Roland Emmerich Godzilla(GINO), although I do like the movie( I like Kaiju films) , the monster should not even be called Godzilla!

Godzilla Final Wars was okay but could have been better! Not enough screen time for some of my favorite kaiju.

I'd love to have The Return of Godzilla as a US release. Blu would be ideal, but at this point I'd take it on DVD. I have pretty much every DVD Godzilla that was a US release and has the original audio track, I try to avoid the dubbed only discs (from the Heisei era mainly). Watching a dubbed Godzilla is a completely different experience from one in its original format with English subs. Dubbing sucks.

I really hated Final Wars, and I mean HATED it, which is rare for me when it comes to Godzilla. I thought they spent entirely too much time on the Matrix-esque Kung-Fu crap and almost no time on the monsters.

I remember this movie being alright, but also remember it being WAY too LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG
