Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was an awsome movie and great CGI!
Review: When I saw this movie I was amazed at how well the producers did with Godzilla. I was happy to see that they kept his breath but was a little disappointed that they did not use it more. All in all it was very good, I bought the movie to add to my Godzilla collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: despite what everyone else says, it's actually a good cd
Review: ok. now i know that basically everyone hates this cd, but it's really not all that bad. the puff daddy song is cool because it has jimmy page in it, jamiroqui really sucks, but his song on here is actually pretty good. rage against the machine is always good. ben folds five is good in their own little quirky ways. days of the new provides some good acoustic work. then you have some silverchair. a very good silverchair song at that. fuel rocks, so expect good. foo fighters put a good song here, with their new guitarist. then you have green day, which is always good. but probably my favorite song on this album is "out there" by fuzzbubble. there's not really much i can say about these guys except for the fact that they kick ass. and that is my review of the good cd that is the godzilla soundtrack.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Please don't do this again
Review: Well, Jean Reno was cool...a bit comic - like he wasn't in the same movie as the rest of the cast or G. It really bugged me the way the directors wanted to make G to an animal with instincts and motherhood instead of malice. The only point that it lights up is the chase but by then I was already dead. Roland and Emmerich's G is really streamlined and could have been scary. I'm sorry it's not. Just to top it of the very worst lines are in the end of movie proving my theory that even the writers couldn't go the distance.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie sucks. I would rather die than watch it again.
Review: I think it was a mockery of the first godzilla. If they make another one I know a few people who will not see it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Plot DOES NOT matter!!
Review: So what do I mean by this headline you might ask?

There was too much focus on a plot that was not

appropriate for a monster movie that, instead,

should have been more of a brainless fun popcorn

muncher. No thanks to the writers of the film, I

ended up watching a movie that I expected not too

much from but GOT too much as the end result.

What was the need for this film to be two hours

and twenty minutes long, when ninety to one

hundred ten minutes would have sufficed. I could

tell from the beginning that something was going

to go wrong with the film when it began with a

suspense element that did not work and then

erupted with a plot including laying eggs inside

New York's Madison Square Gardens. Instead, more

action, less plot, and a quicker pace would have

helped this film. Jean Reno's character was fun to watch and he

seemed to love playing his character in this

film. I did like Godzilla's new look although the

baby lizards looked too much like the Raptors

from Jurassic Park.

The movie was entertaining (which is my basis for

the three star rating) but if I had to give it an

overall rating it would only get two stars as it

was too weak in the other areas. Hopefully they

will take the plot less seriously with the

planned sequel and focus more on having fun.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A monster is somewhere never expected before
Review: A as you would say guy movie. With surprising pop outs.The monster in this movie is laying eggs and doesn't want anyone to bother it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst movie ever
Review: I've seen Godzilla movies in Japanese version since I was 6 and they're very nice.It's BETTER than what Hollywood try to polish but fail.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not worth it.
Review: I was very disappointed with this CD (Thats putting it mildly).All it is a collection of dumb songs(like "Undercover")that only come up in the backround of the movie when you can't even hear them.The only good thing about this CD is the two tracks of David Arnold's perfect score.I hope they release the actual score at some point.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: BLAH
Review: My rating refers to its connection to Godzilla. It was a great monster movie but Iguanosaurus is NO Godzilla! My family liked it so much 'coz of the special effects. they even think the new Hesei film G looks cheezy. This a Godzilla abomination.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This is Godzilla?!
Review: My heart sank when I heard that a re-make of Godzilla with souped-up special effects was in the works. So what if the past 20 godzilla movies had primitive special effects? That's all part of their charm. STAR WARS and DAWN OF THE DEAD for example are two great movies with seventies special effects, but what does it matter? In both of these films, it was the emotion that counted, and, on account of their lovable qualities, are still enjoyable today. I wish this principle was kept in mind while making GODZILLA.

So why else do I like the old godzilla movies better? Okay, I'll admit, I'm a Godzilla fan. Who cares that he was played by a guy in a rubber suit? Sadly enough, movies are judged by their special effects nowadays. I didn't notice it was a guy in a suit while watching these films because back then, in Toho days, monsters had body language, personality, and style. Godzilla was more interesting and lifelike back in those movies.

All of these things are lacking in this remake. I heard that this movie was 95% special effects, and had lame acting with cardboard characters, and all that's true, but while entering the theatre, I didn't care. I knew who it was I came to see. Godzilla looks nothing like how he used to. This new film seems to have been inspired a great deal from JURASSIC PARK . While watching that ludicrous chase scene with the big G's offspring, (Undoubtebly stolen from the fromer) I kept thinking "Geez, am I watching a Godzilla movie?" Godzilla now has the proportions and energy of a theropod from Bob Bakker's illustrations, and it darts fearsomely around the street corners of New York (if you recall, Godzilla already attack the Big Apple in DESTROY ALL MONSTERS). Okay, I admit. These scenes ARE well done. And the special effects are a lot of fun. It's neat to see an over-sized iguana who's stolen Godzilla's name smash things. This is the only reason I'm giving this movie three stars. Perhaps I should have given it less.

Despite this technical exuberance, the film lacks the heart, soul, fun, and value of it's predessesors, which is a shame. Godzilla has been permenantley tampered with. God watch an earlier film like GODZILLA VS. GIGAN or GHIDRAH: THE THREE HEADED MONSTER and you'll see what I mean.
