Summary: godzilla?
Review: Okay first off im a g fan. For those who are not im going to get something clear. ONE, youre always calling godzilla corny from his old movies. Why do you think they ended in the 70s? Have youll even seen any of the movies made up till 95? This movie sucked. The only thing it had in common with godzilla is his voice. Godzilla also was not created by the french. He was a gojirasaurus on an island called largos that during WW2 was hit by a nuclear bomb. In this movie he is an iguana hit by radiation. The original godzilla also was a metaphor of the sins that man committed. Godzilla was a terrible reminder of how small and careless the human race really is. Another thing why in the world would a creature made in the pasific move to NY? If the movie takes place in america shouldn't be in LA? All this movie shows is how dumb newyorkers can be(no offense). Oh for all you people that think this godzilla is better, watch godzilla final wars(his last movie this year when it gets to america)The japanese put the american godzilla all CG just the way he looks against the real godzilla, man in a suit. Just so you know the fight is not a long one...

Review: I enjoyed this movie when I saw it in theatres...and then for some reason I never watched it again until a day or two ago. I found this movie for $5.50 at Wal-Mart! I had to get it! I don't understand why people don't like this movie; its your good ol' disaster, popcorn flick! And who cares if the monster doesn't look like the original; the writers and director made a great point that when the first Godzilla movies came out, the only special effects they had was to put a guy in a rubber monster suit. Another thing to consider is that the director for this movie turned down this idea 4 times before finally agreeing. He also didn't want to use any old story lines either; the only ideas he kept was the monster itself and how it was created.

After this was done, director Roland Emmerich did what he has almost become famous for in his movies and destroyed New York City! I agree the movie could have been shortened from over 2 hours but its not bad enough for me or anyone to whine about. On this occasion I would say buy this movie if you can get it for the same great Wal-Mart price I did. Enjoy.

Summary: Ugh! Simply horrible!
Review: This was one of the few movies I've ever been tempted to walk out of and/or demand my money back. Toho had finally killed off their monster, however, this stinkeroo offended them so bad that they had to bring the real 'G' back to get the offensive taste out of their collective mouths.

It would not have been so bad had it not been for the whole "baby godzillas" sequence. I can think of a dozen other things these talentless hacks could have shown us to fill in the time.

Let's hope that Toho doesn't ever forget about this.

Review: Being a fan of Godzilla, I was thrilled to hear that an American version of Godzilla was being made back in the 90's. The first time I actually seen a photo of what the American Godzilla looked like.....well the thrill was gone. Jeez people,....that's not Godzilla for crying out loud.....that's a beefed up mutated Raptor on steroids. Instead of using a cgi Godzilla in this movie, why not just put Arnold the Terminator in a rubber suit??? It was so obvious that Roland Emmerich went to the theater when Jurassic Park came out, and he loved the scenes of Raptors chasing "Bones," his woman, and two rug rats around. Sooooooo.....why not rip that scene off by having mutilated iguanas chasing Nik Totopolis Metropolos whatever, a french insurance agent who loves all the bad Elvis movies, an actress who was dragged off the street and told she could act....or tried to anyway, and a camera man from Kodak....or Polaroid one......all around Madison Square Garden. Given the characters of this "Always Save [...] Wiper Tissue" movie, they should've filmed the Raptor Ripoff scene in a septic tank. I was surprised that a Long John Silvers or Captain D's advertisement wasn't in the scene...what with all the dead fish laying around the huge easter bunny eggs. And what was with all the rain???? Over ninety five percent of the movie it rained????? Was that the director saying "well, we'll film just about every scene with rain falling....that way people won't notice that this isn't Godzilla, and the fact that the acting is below sub par" ???? Oh there was "some" acting in the movie, mainly provided by Matthew Brodrick,....but our leading actress....Matthew's love interest....was awful. She looked more like a hooker impersonating a tv reporter with bad facial expressions. A zit could've acted better....and the title would've been changed to "Zitzilla!" As to how the American Armed Forces are protrayed in this B-movie....well it makes me wonder did we actually win WWII? Oh we can blow the crap out of buildings in New York......but we can't hit a muscular sky scraper of a lizard?????? And we sparingly use tanks in favor of bullets?? Oh sure...a bullet is gonna stop Godzilla like a fan will keep a hurricane away. But at least!.....in the better and original Japanese Godzilla movies....THEY HIT THE DARN THING!....and they use tanks....and even something called a Mazer to give Godzilla shock treatments.....but they nail Godzilla none-the-less. Also in this fart fumed movie we're lead to believe that the city of New York has all been evacuated.....save for the local press natually.....you mean to tell me that there wasn't one fool who stayed around hoping to do some "Zilla tipping"?? The entire movie is quite irritating to watch...unless you enjoy picking it to pieces, like I do. For instance, look at the scene where our hero's enter Madison Square Garden and find all the eggs....look at where some of the eggs are placed farther up in the seats....y'mean to tell me Godzilla with his massive long tail was able to spurt an egg out of his bottom WITHOUT tearing up part of the arena?? And as tall as "Madzilla" is....he was able to scrunch down inside the Gardens and flop eggs out???? Bottom line is.....watch the Japanese Godzilla movies and ignore this Americanize excrement.
