The film tells of an unusual figure, Godzilla, who has sharp razor teeth in his mouth and has a prominent figure and claws that can cross the steel road, as well as a fiery breath that burns everything in front of him. In the end, everyone discovers that Godzilla is a perfect person at all times, where he was able to save Tokyo by fighting a mysterious UFO that turns into a mysterious Kaegu called the deadly Orga.
After all the humans' blathering about studying him or killing him or why's-he-keep-saving-us-after-we-created-him-but-now-try-to-destroy-him?, the big scaly brute's got the best idea for taking the piss out of this movie--keep roaring unintelligibly.
this is old-school Godzilla, meaning unconvincing special effects, a ridiculous plotline involving a rival monster, and lots of Japanese actors with badly overdubbed dialogue
Godzilla 2000 ... is dubbed into English in a manner that's occasionally too jokey for its own good.

Neither cheesy enough to make you laugh at it, nor good enough for you to enjoy it as a conventional action flick.

We know we're in for a good time right from the start when plucky photographer Yuki says, "I've really got to get some great pictures here," while moving her lips only twice.

Only a diehard fan of the long-running Japanese Godzilla series could love Godzilla 2000.
