Sony's free PS3/PSP movie rental for Comic-Con is… Godzilla 2000?

The company that put the Spider-Man font on the PS3 celebrates Comic-Con with a giant rubber monster

Words: on July 22, 2010

Sometimes, Wednesday is a weirdo. In an effort to promote this weekend’s San Diego Comic Convention, Sony has put the film Godzilla 2000 on the Playstation Store to rent free of charge.


Above: Those are the flames of ridiculous AWESOME 

We get that you might be wondering why we’re getting The King of Monsters to promote a comic/media convention instead of, say, The Dark Knight or any of the Spider-Man movies (which Sony pictures actually produced). Frankly, we are too. But this is a gift horse you don’t look in the mouth. It will look, feel, and sound like Free, which is always welcome.

Granted, this particular film ranks roughly 11th on GamesRadar’s official list of All the Godzilla Movies Ever in Order of Ultimate Excellentness (yes, we have one – a couple of us are raging G-fans). But it’s better than the Matthew Broderick Godzilla movie and isn’t a half bad popcorn flick if you can get over the often not-quite-Hollywood-level special effects.


Above: Did you like watching this for free? Then you’ll really dig watching two more hours of it for free.

    From one g-fan to another, I want to see that list! Personally I'd rank this one much higher than 11th place on such a list, which is why I'm curious to see where it all lands on your end.

    @ mEgAzD - I'm going to put money on Destroy All Monsters. Brett?

    @ TheWebSlinger - I believe you are thinking of Godzilla:Final Wars, where the "real deal" big G goes to town on GINO (the g-fan term for the American Godzilla, meaning Godzilla In Name Only). GINO doesn't stand a chance, which is just as it should be.

    In Godzilla 2000 there is a monster other than Godzilla, but it something else...

    As for all you WTFers, why not just check it out? Godzilla movies offer something no amount of CGI could ever replace.

    And you just gotta love posters who go out of their way to say "don't care". Clearly they care enough to spend the time to spell it out for the rest of us, as if we were all waiting with bated breath for them to weigh in on the issue.

    I don't own a PSP, but I do own this film on DVD. This feels like an odd film to give out for free, especially since there were more recent Godzilla films than this.

    Sony really knows how to knock one out of the park. True, you don't look a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm not that excited about the horse in general.

    Also he kicks the shit out of 1997 Girl-zilla in about 2 minutes in this movie.

    I actually love this movie. I have very fond memories of it, even if it isn't Citizen Kane quality.
