Summary: MOTHRA! MOTHRA! WE NEED YOU! GODZILLA IS DEAD ON ARRIVAL
Review: Plot stinks. Give anything to American movie producers and watch them just destroy a good thing. Godzilla is supposed to be our hero, but in this movie he is the bad guy, with no evil monster to fight with. Furthermore, the acting, directing and special effects are pretty weak. Godzilla definitely resembles the Tyrannasourous Rex (how do you spell the T word?) from "Jurassic Park" also toward the end of the movie where they are at Madison Square Garden, it looks like a rip off from "Alien" with eggs (pods) scene. An absolute utter waste and dissappointment....I can't believe they are going to make "Godzilla 2".....if they do they need to call "Mothra!" for help!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie was a spectacular monster movie, no contest!!
Review: Yes, the critics slammed this movie. Yes it lacked any worthwhile dialogue. But it was a Godzilla movie! Why were expectations so high for the acting and dialogue? The money involved might be a good excuse, but come on. Give credit where credit is due. This movie was way better than any previous Godzilla movie for the simple fact that Godzilla wasn't restricted in movement. The monster wasn't some guy in a rubber suit, wasn't anyway animatronic in its motions. As for plot and dialogue, that's kinda hard to get when the main character is a CGI without the capability of speech! The purpose of people developed into characters at all was to say "Hey, this is what's happening!" to all the people enthralled by the size and motions of Godzilla in the first place. This movie should rightly be compared to the original King Kong for the amount of sympathy you feel for the creature at the end. Deserves a sequel although that most likely won't happen.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad? Yes. Still better than the Phantom Menace.
Review: I hated this movie like anyone else. Yet after seeing the new Star Wars movie I can say that even a plot does not help a bad movie. It is what it is, a bad film. Godzilla was boring and stupid but I felt like I wasted more money on the Phantom Menace.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good sndtrk any hardrock fan should get this one.
Review: This is a definate winner with Rage Against the Machine and Green Day. A good album to crank on the stereo.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SWEET!!!!
Review: Most of the songs were pretty damn good! Jamiroqui usually suck, but this song is great. I also love the Wallflowers' song and Come With Me is awesome!! A great CD!!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Simply Bad
Review: I was prepared for a bad movie, and this one dissapointed me. It really is awful. The special effects are terrible, the plot is non-exsistant, the acting is miserable.

I was even in the mood for a smash em-up monster movie!

Bad, Bad, Bad.

Summary: What happened to plot guys?
Review: If ever there was a missed opportunity in movie history, it was "Godzilla". Director Emmerich had the real opportunity to turn all those cheesy Japanese monster flicks into something exhilarating, thrilling and scary, like Ridley Scott did for those B-movies like "It! The terror from beyond space" in "Alien". Emmerich fails totally. On the plus side, the special effects are excellent and spectacular and the helicopter chase sequence through New York is brilliant, but it lacks what EVERY film must have... a plot. There is nothing resembling one here at all. The performances too, leave something to be desired. Boderick and Pitillo pack more balsa-wood than a cheap wardrobe. Fortunately "Leon" star, Jean Reno puts in a cracking performance as a French agent and gets nearly all the (intentional) laughs that adds some much needed charm. Unfortunately that's not enough to save this mildly diverting fare that proves that film makers can no longer treat their audiences with such contempt by packing 2 hours of celluloid with SPX and action with nothing else and hoping they'll buy it. Because the simple fact is, they won't. The success of the brilliant: "The Truman Show" proved that there's more market out there for thought provoking drama and comedy than mindless, hollow action. No sequels required.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Cluelessness gone critical...it really DID lay an egg!
Review: Brazen hacks that they are, Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich surpassed themselves in cluelessness this time: casting an outsized reject from "Jurassic Park 3," and a misunderstood mama to boot, in the role of a near-infinite power like the King of the Monsters. And it's the military (not the hapless "Godzilla") who trash parts of Manhattan. Devlin and Emmerich are idiots! Why did they think people would buy a ticket in the first place...to see "Godzilla" run away from helicopters and "terrify" us with a CAR CHASE??? Designer Patrick Tatopolous explained away "Godzilla"'s weakness and lack of city-levelling flames thus: "We were making an animal, not a monster." That's right, Pat...and that was your biggest mistake. Japanese Monsters 101: Godzilla does not run away from people. People run away from Godzilla. Godzilla is not a raptor, E.T. with teeth, the Road Runner, or a born-pregnant tribble. Godzilla is an ancient power so vast as to redefine the term "monster." Godzilla is something no power known to humanity can stop. Godzilla is Death Itself. (If Emmerich and Devlin ever film the Book of Revelation, I can't wait to see how fast God runs.) In the meantime, this mess stayed deliberately ignorant of what made Godzilla films special to start with, instead stealing cynically and shamelessly from other, inappropriately chosen (but vastly superior) sources. Don't spend any more money on this monument to Hollywood ineptitude. Buy the early-'60's version of "Godzilla vs. Mothra" instead. Now THAT'S Godzilla.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Rage Against The Machine is the best band on this cd.
Review: It's an ok cd. Rage is the best on it, and Green Day is good too.(I just dont like how they remixed this song).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Why call it Godzilla???????
Review: The movie could of been name the "Killer Muntant Raptor" or something...enjoyable...In a FX SciFi Monster movie kind of way...but it was "NO GODZILLA"!!!... sorta of like calling Arnold's "Conan the Barbarian"..Conan...Conan Where???....Godzilla Where???....Why call it Godzilla???
