Godzilla

I get that it's useless as an adaption of the Godzilla-franchise.
But aside from that I think this movie is amazing. The plot was well structured, , and it was surprisingly scientific for a movie of this genre.

It's not THE Godzilla but it's A Godzilla. If you can get over that, it's a great film.

Don't be coming on here hating on this Godzilla..she is light years ahead of the new pink Godzilla and baby blue king Kong reveal party

This movies acting was absolute ass. But I'm nostalgic as I remember watching it as a child and found it awesome.

So forgive my rating as it's based on the view as a child...

"That's a lot of fish!"

You don't watch this movie to watch a good Godzilla movie. You watch this movie to have a fun night out with Matthew Broderick and Jean Reno.

This very entertaining Gdzilla appears much, that yellow taxi, that Jean Reno, that Jurassic Park scene

Someone had told me this film was from '92. While the VFX definitely seemed dated, I was also pleasantly surprised.

Now, finding out it was from 6 years later, the visuals are much less impressive--but I was never completely taken out of the experience. It was still cohesive.

Some things I noticed:

'Zilla was even scarier in the water than he was on land.

They turned the city into type of "maze" using the space between the buildings as corridors for the monster to wander through. It is a fascinating way to transform a setting.

While the film felt pretty long (and it does a lot during its runtime!), it never slows down too much and never drops your interest. I had a great time and enjoyed almost every minute.

Emmerich goes Godzilla. While the acting and the characters are excellent, the story is so unbelievable that it is really difficult to ignore it. Apparently a 177 feet (54 meter) high lizard can hide undetected for month in the centre of New York … Well, watch without thinking and it is a good movie with some great special effects.

>"What the hell's the matter with you people? You've caused more damage than that goddamn thing did!"

Listen, I know it's not good, but we had a limited amount of VHS tapes growing up and this was one of them so it has a special place in my heart. Creature design is actually pretty cool if you separate your love for the original design used in other movies.

In the 2014 film, we don't see enough of Godzilla. In this film we see too much Godzilla and we wish the film didn't get the look of him so wrong. The film is Independence Day with Godzilla or whatever that CGI thing is supposed to be.
However, the 2014 film despite being too much about the humans as well. At least had Godzilla battling some other creatures. Here Godzilla just stomps around with nothing to do. While the humans battle some Godzilla babies.
You also have the P. Diddy song that rapes a Led Zepplen classic. So the film also loses points for that lol. The cast is too cutsie too. Matthew Brodwick...vs Godzilla ? Jean Reno at least has his show stealing moments.
If you want a big loud Universal Studios ride of a movie, then you may enjoy this though.
