Summary: overblown
Review: Godzilla is no more than an overblown no-brainer. It does have impressive special effects,but nothing else. The acting isn't among the greatest and it gets more predictable as it goes along. Almost to the point of being unintentionally hilarious.

Summary: Horrific
Review: This is the worst. When I went to see this I was eagerly anticipating what Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich could do with the King of the Monsters, and afterwards I was so dissapointed I was in shock. The plot and acting were so checkered and badly formed that they couldn't come close to standing on their own, so only the lizard creature could hope to save the movie. Unfortunatley this creature is so weak that it can't even save itself from a few fighter jets. As the movie rolled to it's unsatisfying, pointless conclusion with an obvious hint at a sequel, I found myself constanlty checking my watch thinking "when will this movie end?" I just want to put this abomination behind me and wait for Godzilla 2000.

Summary: Bait and Switch
Review: Picture with me if you will you're going to a movie: it's called "The GodFather 1998" but instead of being about the mafia it's about a family of chefs. Fed up you switch theaters "Star Trek XIV" is playing it's about the USS Pacific Princess Enterprise with the Love Boat cast at its best. Enraged you go to the final movie showing "Godzilla" (1998). Everything seems fine. There he is in all his glory Godzilla...he looks a little different. That's Ok. The special effects are good. He dodged a missile cool. Hey when's he gonna breath fire? There he did it--no it wasn't fire. How can you call it Godzilla if he isn't breathing fire? You can't my friends, this was Lost World meets Aliens and it was good as far as that went. The acting was poor, but that's to be expected this isn't a "period-piece. It is after all a monster movie. But it isn't Godzilla. The answer was MORE FIRE not less. Bottom Line: You can make whatever movie you want, but if it really isn't Godzilla, call it something else.

Summary: Made by Japaneese NOT
Review: I was not very impressed. I would rather watch Raymond Burr in GODZILLA as this. Special effects was not impressive. For a good monster movie get The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms for a really good terror and special effects or War of the Worlds.

Summary: This one is a pile of green s**t.
Review: A series of nuclear weapons are tested in the South Pacific during the 1950's, and the film Godzilla moves swiftly and uninterestingly into the present as a shocked Japanese man (the only sign of Japanese involvement in this Americanized adaptation) in a hospital deliriously repeats "Gojira, Gojira, Gojira". As was the premise for the original film, nuke testing has spawned a huge Gojira (Japanese for Sea Dragon). The name is later adapted in the film as it was in the filmgoing market, to Godzilla, a mere mispronunciation. Doctor Nick Tatopolous (Matthew Broderick) has been employed by the US military in order to help catch the ship-sinking, fire-breathing creature with the piercing roar and not so good looks. The lack of continuity is never more obvious than when Dr. Tatopolous explains the creature with great aptitude, even before it stomps into his life. From here, the film takes a by-the-numbers approach in that the last three-quarters of it yields nothing but explosions, fire and lots of stupid one-liners. And who could resist babies! Discovered inside a now demolished Madison Square Garden, the nest with Godzilla's 200 eggs is a mere walk down memory lane to James Cameron's Aliens. Could there possibly be anything original to look forward to after that? Don't hold your fiery breath. Slews of rip-offs ranging from Jurassic Park to King Kong fill the rest of this hype-vehicle of no-brain folly. Godzilla is at best, remotely entertaining during the its 15 minutes. After which this mammoth publicity stunt loses steam at record rates. You would think that after creating such turkeys as ID4 and Stargate, the team of director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin (the awesome twosome?) would have had enough sense to try to put out something commendable this time around. But like in many things, there is simply no cure. Not since Starship Troopers have I seen such bad visual effects, gratuitous violence and paper-thin story lines. The characters in this film are so cardboard, they belong in a police shooting range. Take a classic film and put it in the hands of profiteers rather than filmmakers, and I give you the official mascot for the worst movie since Waterworld.

Summary: Size Does Matter
Review: I don't see why people hate this film so much. It was awsome.They are probably just jealous because it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay betterthan that ( ) Armageddon. The script was excelent and the only acting that was less than perfect was Matthew Brodderick's (sorry Matt, but it's true). This is, without a doubt, the best American film ever!

Summary: SILLY anyway.
Review: I don't care if this huge reptile is Godzilla or not. I admit some ideas - like missile dodging agility - were not bad. But the plot is incredibly unconvincing and could not keep suspense. For example, an army loads tons of fish to lure the lizard from subway tunnel. The lizard appears as they have planned and nobody reacts! No attack, no panic, just watching the iguana groaning. Maybe good laughing stuff for cynical audience.

Summary: Godzilla is a 500 foot turkey
Review: The level of dialogue never rises above "It's coming this way!" or "Let's get outta here!". The interaction between the "guy" and the "girl" is too simple and uninteresting. The one conflict between the two arose from an incident that was just begging to be predicted. The whole movie was just one cliche.

Summary: Godzillughh
Review: An overgrown gecko runs through the glass & steel canyons of New York with the U.S. military & cast of goofs in pursuit. The first 5 minutes including the opening credits deserve my one star rating. This movie is just a bad mix of Jurrassic Park, Aliens, I'm Singing In The Rain and whatever else could be ripped off. The U.S. military whose weapons can knock out a jet fighter travelling at mach 2, can't hit this giant sized clunker standing still. As far as Godzilla, where are the glowing dorsal fins, the radioactive fire breath? See the first Godzilla movie (1954) with the late Raymond Burr and you'll see a great movie (O.K. rubber monster suits aside) about a mankind coming to grips with an ancient terror who is impervious to modern weapons. This new Godzilla held so much promise and delivered nothing but a joke a minute..and bad jokes at that.

Summary: Should have a different title.
Review: The movie itself wasn't that bad....rather cliche'd but what movie isn't no days. I just think it should have had a differnt title.....this wasn't godzilla as he should have been portrayed. Godzilla never ran from a fight, godzilla was more of a threat....let's face it this creature was a wimp compared to the big G. Watch the movie for fun....just don't expect GODZILLA.
