Godzilla (1998)

There not much more to say about this movie other than what already has been said a million god damn time's, but before I go in just let me say I am not going to jump in with the rest f the crowed and say that I hate tis movie but nor am I going to jump in with a bunch of idiot's out there and say that this is an awesome movie because, it's not.



But now just before I go in, let me ask you this does this look like Godzilla?






Or does it look more like an interpritation of a dinosaur from one of the Jurassic park movies.

Now, I'm going to just say this, I understand that it was all going to be Cgi and I also understand that they wanted Gozilla to look different, and I am o.k. with that, but that doesn't mean that you can go ahead and take away all of Godzilla's trade marks, e.g. fire breath, atomic breath and of course being indestructable (yes missles and explosive can kill him in this one!!!), however they did keep his trade mark roar, FUCK YEAH!!!

If you've never heard it, just watch the clip beleow.

Awesome ain't it?

Moving on now, the side plot is pretty much what you expect from hollywood, a love story, awwwwww. How many times have we seen that!!! Now to tell you the truth not all of it is a love story, part of the side story also involves the french secret service (I don't know why) coming in to try a stop godzilla and destroy it's nest of eggs, thank god someone who knows what the fuck to do.

But you might ask who's in the movie?

It stars Mathew Broederick as a scientist who anlysis radioactive substances and Jean Reno as someone who's trying to make it as a reporter, and the rest of the movie is pretty much the scientist finding ways the capture and take down Godzilla and and the girl trying to make a good story but getting stopped by some other jackass reporter.

Now about Godzilla, like I said he's nothing like the original (expept from the roar), but I will say he still look's pretty cool, and the cgi is o.k compared lot's of shit Cgi that I have seen e.g 10,000 B.C. and I am legened, and some of the scenes where Godzilla or whatever it is, is rampaging through New York and when the army is fighting Gozilla, those I would have to say are pretty awesome.

So all in all Godzilla 1998 in all honesty may as well have just been a remake of "The beast from 20,000 fathoms" and it also ode more to Jurassic park than it did to Godzilla, so in the long run it's not bad but nor is it good.

Watch it once or twice but be warned it's not good nor is it bad.

P.s. Yes I have seen the original 1954 Japanese Godzilla and let me tell you, it is awesome.
