WOO HOO!!

im not a big fan of Godzilla, but i think its one of the Best done (i dont like the originals to crappy for me)
Great movie, Fun, entertaining!...one of my favorites of 1998!

B

The horrible trainwreck movie of 1998.

I got this thing for Christmas. It was just one of those "I have to get you something, so ehre's some random DVD from th bargain bin" gifts. I finally got around to taking it out of the plastic wrap and watchign it over the past few days. I don't get all the negativity towards it. Maybe it was just something you had t have lived through, what with all of the hype and everything. But it wasn't as bad as I've heard it to be. It's no masterpiece. Not by a long shot. But it definitely is a worthy summer blockbuster and I'll end up watching it again.

B-

Utter crap! A typical Emmerich movie. (D)

its crap! zero stars out of four!!!

Oh, I lived through the marketing campaign (his tail is longer than this building).

I waited in line, in the rain for this movie.

Blood was spilled that day.

This one is being unfairly bad-mouthed, in my opinion. I mean what exactly did people expect from this one.? Man in the suit walking around and destroying Japanese cities? C'mon. This movie is perfect summer entertainment. I am not a huge fan of Matthew Broderick as a lead in an action flick, but Jean Reno is, as usually, a blast. This one ranks right next to Armageddon as one of the most unfairly bashed movies I know.

Unspeakably stupid. You will be at least a little dumber after watching this movie.

Goodness, and I clearly remember the insane marketing push this movie had in 1998 and how it just collapsed and completely failed to meet any of the lofty expectations put on it. Ah, good times.

D-

Underrated. It was the much anticipated followup by Devlin and Emmerich to Independence Day, a movie that became an instant favorite of mine, and I think it was a victim of the audience's expectations.

B

Gets a bit too much hate, I think. It's not any dumber than, say, Independence Day, but that one is mostly favourably received. The story is pretty weak, yes, but the action scenes are fantastic and the special effects are amazing. Broderick and that chick are pretty bad, but Hank Azaria is good and Jean Reno is flippin' awesome. Typical summer blockbuster.

I havent seen this film since I watched it theaters when I was 9. I thought it was ok but it probably needs a second viewing to get it fresh in my head. but for right now

B

It's hate is fully warranted and would've been nice if SONY,along with Roland and his partner would've at the very LEAST made GODZILLA look the way GODZILLA was supposed to look.. Trim about 20 Minutes off this movie also and lose the whole Baby Godzilla angle at the end along with the Cast, and well, how about just lose this movie all together?? I voted this movie a flat out "F" and the whole "SIZE DOES MATTER" Hyperbole ruined this movie..

YES.. With today's FX, they could've still used the Man in the Suit combined with CGI and made it all that much better and instead, GODZILLA looked more like a fuc*ing Salamander.. It was so bad that TOHO had to show the U.S how it was done and even went as far as to mock the U.S version of SONY'S GODZILLA in GODZILLA: ALL OUT MONSTERS ATTACK and then bitch slapped GINO in FINAL WARS..

Riiiiight.

I'm with BKB on this one. Why even bothering to call it Godzilla? It looked more like a generic dinosaur than the character we all know and love. Plus, the story was stupifyingly boring...

1 out of 5.

B+

Godziillaaaaaaa

I need to see it again, but I remember liking it a lot.

Really enjoyable piece of summer entertainment that doesn't take itself seriously.

B+

C.

but not as bad as people say it was. I knew what I was getting into, it was a Roland Emmerich movie, anyone who expected some faithful Godzilla movie from that cheese-maestro hasn't been paying attention to his career. I expected silliness, along the lines of Stargate and that's about what we got.

D

If it weren't a Godzilla movie, I'd give it a much higher grade. My problem with it was simply is that if you call the movie "Godzilla", I expect a Godzilla film.

If you remove the background of Godzilla, if the original never existed, this would be a pretty good but not great American popcorn film. It has that great sequence about a 1/3 of the way in that is one of the best Monster movie sequences I've seen.

But therein lies the problem. It is after all, a Godzilla movie. Which means the attraction is watching Godzilla trash stuff. Gimme 10, maybe 15 minutes of setup MAX and then I want to see him stepping on tanks, punching out buildings, tackling other monsters, whatever. And I want to keep seeing it till we are done. When this movie finally gets around to that, its great, but there is simply not enough of it.

Side point: I am fully aware of the rather overt anti-nuke message in the original, which remained implicit if a bit expunged in the American version of the release. Never had a problem with it being there - cause Godzilla is all over the place trashing stuff. And I don't have a problem with the "message" in this version. Just show me the monster. They could have made this a great popcorn film even with all that in there if they'd just spent more screen time on Godzilla.

I'm still waiting for the sequel...

9.0/10 A-

Blehhh

I never saw this film, never had an any want, especially after all the backlash, and even after the hoopla and 14 years, this film does not disappoint on how bad it is. They should have called this film The Attack of Godzilla's foot. Thats what the first half of the film is anyway. The effects are terribly dated. (I can't believe I read reviews where it was better than Jurassic Park in the effects department.)

I turned it off after about an hour. This film may be the biggest A production misfire of the 90s other than Mars Attacks.

I decided to check out the last scene on youtube. I wanted to see how it looked as a whole. Terribly bad. I think it's funny that Godzilla can run 100 mph and break through buildings, but bridge wires bring it's demise

F

This is by Godzilla standards, even worst by disaster movie standards, and yet even worst by Emmerich standards

Mars attack is a very funny movie as its so silly.

Agreed, I can at least enjoy it as it was made bad intentionally, Burton was still in his Ed Wood phase, but where as that film exceeded Mars Attacks pretty much failed.
