I also liked the "GMK" Baragon's roar. Now I like his old roar, to be sure. I also noticed that there was a general level of discontent among fans concerning Kaneko(the film's director) not keeping Baragon's old roar. While I sympathize with those fans and do understand their gripe I think that the new roar worked out okay. Baragon's "roar" in GMK(2001) was mostly reptilian, and had a distinctly pig-like quality to it as well.

Also, Baragon's original roar has been recycled so many times by other Toho monsters and Ultraman monsters as well. |

Indeed. If I remember correctly the following monsters had the same(or very similar) roar: Gorosaurus, Varan(from the orig. Jap. version), and Ultraman monsters Neronga, Avoras, and Ragon. |

I'm trying Dan. Thanks buddy. Some days I feel like I'm becoming more computer savvy. Other days I feel like a lowland gorilla trying to figure out advanced calculus. :ph43r: |

To be honest I don't know. It just...rolls off the top of my head. eyebrow Topic: Speaking of Godzilla's eyes(like you mentioned in the GFW thread), what did you think of Godzilla's all white orbs in this great Millenium movie? |

In my opinion, GMK is the best Godzilla film yet made. As well as being an action-packed and entertaining, yet deep and meaningful kaiju smash, it's also something that very few kaiju films are: an actual good movie. |

Max, have you seen the Showa Godzilla films, specifically Mothra Vs Godzilla(1964)?  I do think GMK is the best of the Millenium "G" films and one of the best Godzilla films of the entire series. Thread drift: welcome to the forums! :) |

Thanks for the welcome. :D I have indeed seen all the Showa entries, including Mothra vs Godzilla. While said film is decent to me, it had too many flaws in my view to be a competitor for the position of "best." |

I've got a great respect for GMK. It is probably my favorite Godzilla film. |

Though not my favorite overall Godzilla movie it is by far my favorite of the Millenium Series. When Godzilla returns to the big screen I hope Shusuke Kaneko is the director listed in the credits for the film. I've always liked GMK over other Millenium G movies because of the improved special effects. |

While I agree GMK has the best FX in the series to date, felt it was more it's depth and polish which set it above the other Millennium entries. |

I've never really taken the time, whenever watching GMK, to take into account what you mention here. Perhaps I should.  My only real complaint, regarding GMK, was the relative ease with which Godzilla dispatched Baragon in their first fight. I would have liked to have seen Baragon some what larger, and with his old Showa roar. I liked the final battle as well, but I never got the sense that Godzilla was ever in any real danger of losing..and I kind of think that element of suspense should be in a battle scene such as the magnitude of the last one in GMK. This is probably nit picking going here. Shusuke Kaneko is certainly a director I would love to sit down with and shoot the bull about his movies. |
