Normally, most of us don't care what critics have to say about a Godzilla movie. Well, in looking over Leonard Maltin's new Movie Guide for 2006, GMK is listed AND with three stars! (G2K is the only other G-film to receive ***).
Here is the review. Personally, I don't think he wrote this himself. Leonard Maltin is a very knowledgeable movie man, but I'm thinking someone else wrote this review, but then again, I could be wrong:
Writer-director Kaneko was brought in to "shake up things" and he certainly succeeded with this dark, very violent epic, which reverts Godzilla to a soulless, nuclear-created killing machine. Mothra, Baragon, and even King Ghidorah are now "guardian spirits" who are awakened to stop his wave of destruction. The 25th Godzilla movie is considered by many fans to be the apex of the series, with terrific special effects and a consistently adult tone; worth seeing even for nondevotees. Informally known as GMK.
Interesting to say the least. I certainly wouldn’t call it the apex of the series, but I do agree with him on the other matters like the special effects and so forth.
