Summary: Good Soundtrack, Movie blew.
Review: I have had the cd for a year and havent listened to puff daddy or the wall flowers songs even once. I bought it for the real rock bands, not those posers. I dont know what Puff Daddy was thinking, he destroyed a classic song. The best song by far was "Walk the Sky" by Fuel, that band can do no wrong, and if you dont belive me see them live, they are unbelievable. "Untitled" by Silverchair is a masterpiece and is their best song they have made. Foo Fighters are good on the soundtrack but their albumns are much better. I dont like Rage but i love "No Shelter" on the soundtrack. Days of The New's "Running Knees" is also good but they have alot better material.

Summary: Horrible, horrible, horrible
Review: I've been a fan of Godzilla since age 4, and I've always loved a good monster mash. So naturally, when this new big budget movie hit theaters, I was thrilled! I thought that Godzilla would be able to rise above the limitations that he's always faced in the Japanese movies (namely low budgets and bad dubbing) and get to show America what he can REALLY do!I saw this movie and I was in shock. This movie mocks the Japanese Godzilla. Devlin and Emmerich turned the powerful, striding fire-storm of a beast into a pregnant, terrified jackrabbit. It's a totally new monster who just uses Godzilla's name to generate interest. Where's the atomic breath, the threat of radiation? These things are Godzilla's trademarks! Instead this lizard has the power to reprodouce like a tribble and run so fast it looks rediculous (a 200 foot tall animal shouldn't be able to haul it faster than a drag racer, whether its stride was huge or not.) I realize that they couldn't have kept the original Godzilla, which the American public is too narrow-minded to accept as a great monster, but this creature quite simply is NOT Godzilla, no matter what anybody says. It didn't look or act like Godzilla, and therefor is NOT Godzilla. This leezard wasn't even a threat, it was only dangerous because a 200 foot tall lizard is eventually going to knock some stuff over if it's in the middle of a big city. Once its babies were killed it became a threat, but since it spent so much time tripping up while chasing the taxi it's anger was comical, not frightening. The plot is just another re-hashing of THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (great movie, BTW, a lot better than this 90's trash.) D&E have claimed that they were going for "non-cheesy," which is what really killed them. The acting is lame, I was expecting more from this all-star cast (harsh to rip on a giant monster movie for dialouge, sure, but people sure don't hesitate to cut down Toho's flicks for their dubbing.) The childish blacklisting humor (Mayor Ebert and his sidekick Siskel, killing off JD Lees because he dares to defy this movie) just proves that D&E can't take critisism (and if they keep on cranking out garbage like this they fully deserve it.) Even the FX were pretty cheesy. This CGI cartoon doesn't look any more realistic than the rubber suit did, and there were virtually NO pyros to speak of. The taxi-cab scene was so utterly rediculous and lame that not even Toho would try it. It's the kind of thing that makes me ashamed of American movies. The monster was a wuss. I'd much rather see it fight the military and destroy the city: it makes for a more exciting ride and it makes the monster look like a true threat. Instead we get chase scenes. Bah, humbug. And lastly: WHAT'S WITH ALL THE RAIN?! You can hardly see a friggen' thing! Sure, you're saying the Japanese Godzilla bent the rules of science and had some weird plots. But Toho's plots were always entertaining, their FX were great considering all their budget limitations, and as for the science: well, who cares? Toho's always been aiming for escapism, not realism. D&E should have done their homework and maybe G98 would have been a watchable movie. For the huge budget spent on this movie, I was expecting much, much more. Don't waste your money on this.

Summary: Would'nt be bad if it wasn't named 'GODZILLA'
Review: I went into this movie with an open mind- you have to. It's not the same old TOHO man-in-rubber that all true G-fans love. The special effects were extremely well done, but the plot left something to be desired. I think I would have preferred if the movie company would have named this "Beast from 20,000 fathoms II"

Summary: Good SFX bad most other things .
Review: Once again as summer hit , the multiplexes were filled with all nonsense SFX driven movies . This the most hyped film of last year turned out to be one of the worst . Like most blockbusters this relys on stunning SFX which it certainly has however the plot is extremely shallow and the script is full of cheesey dialogue . If you manage to look past the poor script at the wonderful actors they try to hoist this out of its rubbish status but not even they can salvage it . However many SFX they put in Godzilla will always be a man in a rubber suit .

Summary: They Changed Godzilla Too Much, but still cool!
Review: This is either one of those movies people really love or really hate. Personally, I've like this movie, but I think they changed Godzilla waaaayyyy too much. Godzilla's atomic ray is nothing but breath that just ignites fire. Godzilla also dies too easy too. Two or three missles kill him. In the original Toho Godzilla movies, Godzilla dosen't even budge when a missle hits him. If you're not sure whether to buy this movie or not, you might want to rent it or ask a G friend that (hopefully) likes the same things as you.

Summary: GOD-AWFUL.
Review: I heard this movie was really bad before I rented it, and so I said to myself, I said self...how bad could it actually be? All those millions of people who warned me can't all be right. This is what I get for being hardheaded! I actually found myself rooting for poor Godzilla. Think about it, all she wanted to do was find a place to lay an egg and raise and nuture her child. Is this any reason to persucute this creature? With all the so called geniuses in the science lab, could they not have found a way to tame Godzilla, rather than attack her and annilate this presumably docile giant lizard? This movie is a sad commentary on humanity. It portrays us as over-zealous human beings reacting to a situation with extreme violence rather than thinking it out and dealing with this encounter in an intelligent way. This was a very cruel movie.
