Well, we do have the animated series, which did use some ideas from this script.
One on hand, I think that they should make another sequel for the enjoyment of the fans who liked it. On the other hand, they might get even more backlash from the fan base just like the prequel did.
@SarcasticGoji Yooo that pic looks amazing. I'm also trying to learn 3D animation and learn ZBrush to make a little episode of something in the future. In summary my idea revolves around a cataclysm caused by Ghidorah.
wait they are?
wait a minute im going right to earth rn
...i cant find them ;-;
Honestly, I always enjoyed the movie, mainly due to nostalgia (it played a big role in my childhood). It was the first giant monster movie I ever saw. I had quite a bit of toys from the movie, some of which I still have (a couple of the babies and a Taco bell figure) and some that sadly did not last (particularly a 3D eraser and a "Power Blast Godzilla" remote control figure). It was the movie that helped make me the Godzilla/Monster movie fan I am Today, so I could never dislike it.
Was it a faithful Godzilla movie? No.
Was it a good movie? Not particularly.
Is it an enjoyable movie. In a ways, Yes.
I think the movie had some cool ideas. The idea of a giant monster laying hundreds of eggs and the fear that these creatures could continue to multiply to the point that they could become the dominant species, wiping out humanity and other creatures, is kind of a cool premise. The problem was that it didn't fit Godzilla.
To be honest, I actually think that the first 30 minutes of the movie is really good. It does a great job at building up the creature and setting a somewhat mysterious tone. However, the movie starts to fall apart after the creature itself is revealed and you realize that it's not the true Godzilla. Ironically the movie starts out really similar to the 1954 film, a group of fishing ships are attacked, one of the survivors links the disaster to an old legend of a sea monster known as "Gojira", and there's even a scene where the creature comes ashore at a village with the military investigating the aftermath of the attack and finding giant radioactive footprints (which if you look on Google Earth/Maps those footprints are still there on Kualoa Ranch).
Honestly, after 23 years, I don't think it deserves the hate anymore. it was a massive misfire, I get why fans were outraged at the time, but constantly throwing hatred at it now is kind of pointless. And I don't think it's fair to criticize it for being different especially now, considering how different and experimental some of the more recent Toho entries are (Seriously, I'd take a mutant iguana laying eggs over a metallic plant thing that barely does anything). And at least some of the people involved, have admitted to their mistakes, unlike the crew behind a certain anime trilogy who continue to show distain for the fandom, insulting them for not being "smart enough" to get it, and viewing themselves as above the franchise... but I'm not here to rant about that.
Overall, while the fanbase can still dislike the film, I don't think that it still deserves the hate. It happened, it's been 23, it's time to get over it.
The evangelion kinda looks like the robot Peni Parker uses in Spider-Geddon
I thought you said I chose GYPSY, I chose evangelion one it’s cool looking, and two it fought godzilla and ghidorah
No I meant "yes" for taking the videos in the theatre.
Yes for what? That iron giant is the coolest looking?
Die-hard Spino Fan yes.
But in the original thread, I went with Leopardon because he belonged to Supaidman Robots That Have A 40% Chance Of Beating Godzilla, Rodan, Kong, Mothra and Ghidorah
I chose because of the “Go with the coolest looking one then” Not because of your pick.
evangelion though, I chose that not Gypsy
@Monster_Zero, you actually took those videos inside the movie theater? That’s cool! Also, @SarcasticGoji I think iron giant looks a lot cooler than gypsy avenger.
I never viewed this film as a Godzilla movie, not even once. I think that’s why I liked it. I watched it after I watched 2014 so I knew it was and never will be a Godzilla film. I treated it like any other big monster film.
i personnoly just hate this film. even if i dont veiw it as a godzilla movie i still hate it. the acting is horendos and the jurassic park insparations are just to obvios. its just a downright bad movie in my book. 1/777456354237964653586
wow. one of my jokes actually made someone laugh.
thats new.
Can “love it” be an option? Because it’s amazing. I like it a lot. 4/5
taco bell, that's what
chihuahua is the only one who can defeat godzilla
I mean I don’t hate the film. But that made me laugh.
IM GONNA NEED A BIGGER BALL.
Here lizard lizard.
I mean, what where they thinking?
this article should be called: 23 years ago today, roland emmerich tricked thousands into thinking he made a godzilla movie.
I’ve seen that commercial
It was the first Godzilla film I saw in 2011 when I was either 7 or 6. And I still don't like it.
I say i’m indifferent because last time I saw it, didn’t hate it, didn’t live it, Just sort of Existed for two hours
i actually like taco bell, but i hate advertising that’s everywhere
The mercanary? I haven’t seen the movie in a while so.. I don’t know how much I remember.
I picked Gundam only because of this scene from RPO 
and this

Here’s an interesting fact, your not breathing real air. Real air far too expensive to pump this far down. We just take CO2 out of a room, freshen it up a little, and pump it back in. So you’ll be breathing the same roomful of air for the rest of your life.
I agree with your assessment. Bad Godzilla movie, but a decent and enjoyable kaiju movie. Jean Reno's character, Philipe, was far and away the best character.
Added indifferent as an option!
@Gman, yeah I recall their attempt with Godzilla was the give the creature a completely new face and origin to be more modern. Unfortunately they missed the point of Godzilla's existence entirely. They went for flashy, sleek designs and convenient plot elements that a child could comprehend. They went for the money, that's why they hired Emmerich on to direct it. Shame they missed the mark so dramatically.
