    I can't believe that with the amount of money these people have, they could possible made something so cheap!! pathetic.Forget about special effects people, we're not amused by that anymore, there are a lot of this anywere but the argument, the scrpt..., nah! this seems to be out of the budget for evereybody on these days.Hire good writters, people, imagination can do more than hours of explotions and bright lights, you certainly KILLED an icon here, take the old japanese movies, for God sake!! learn a little from them, that won't kill you. And please, forget about introducing non-sense soap opera clichés in this kind of movies, this is out of place! leave that for Mr. Ed's moronic films for moronic people (AKA Julia Roberts) Jeez...

    What could I say that hasnt already been said.It wasnt to gory,and the three small boys I was babysittingwas absolutlyglued to the t.v. you could under stand the dialogue.It was kinda sort of funny.Mathew was trmendous. He played his part as if he wa...s seeing this animal for the first time. In fact the acting wasso realistic.Godzilla was perfectly composed and life like.And when the smaller ones slid on the gum balls, It reminded me of years ago when Dave Conception slid in to home plate back in the 70s.Ever so elegant.Sincerly Kistler shaners better half.

    Godzilla I dont think so

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 7, 2002

    i've seen every Godzilla movie there is. How could they call this a Godzilla movie. It was a wanna be T-Rex with a touch of Aliens mixed in with it. Only good thing was some of the special effects. The acting in it sucked. Next time American mov...ie studios whats to do a Godzilla they should leave it to Japan to do it for them. Or get a guy in a rubber Godzilla suit and leave out the special effects. Read more Less

    This is a good movie. At first, I thought it was pretty cheesy. But, it was amazing! Pitillo and Broderick's chemistry is HOT! And it's cool!

    God forsaken zilla...

    "Godzilla", from the same fellas that brought us "ID4", is about as missed an opportunity as one can imagine. Even if you weren't a fan of Big G going in, you knew damn well coming out of the theater that the ball had been dropped.Even the most casua...l observer would agree that the idea of a Godzilla movie without a man in a lizard suit was a pretty cool idea. In this context, Godzilla is the Robert Mitchum of monster movies, a great star better than most of his material. The much ballyhooed "American Godzilla" will do little to change that. For starters, it all goes wrong exactly where it shouldn't - with Godzilla himself (I think it's a him). We are barely allowed a look at him that's not devoid of some sort of trick - rain, buildings, night, fog, etc. Maybe this was meant to "enhance the mood" but the impression I got was that the new Godzilla was so shoddy that the filmmakers wanted him to leap out of frame of be partially hidden by buildings and/or rain. These are exactly the sort of tricks that digital technology was supposed to liberate us from. Take "Jurassic Park" or even the original "King Kong" where the visual effects artists were confident enough to allow us a really good look at their creature. Sadly, even the destruction - a Godzilla movie staple - is disappointing. I don't advocate the mass destruction of public and private property but Godzilla's movement through crowded cities filled to the brim with screaming citizens fleeing for their lives was always catharsis for me. In "Godzilla" we - mankind - do more damage than the monster. If anything, the principles involved are too calm at the prospect of an enormous radioactive iguana moving down though Manhattan. Speaking of the principals, they are nothing more than a stock collection of dependable sci-fi cliches: the once ignored scientist proved right, the blustering general proved wrong, the blonde love interest, the goofy side kick. The only character that seemed fresh was Jean Reno's French Secret Service agent, determined to put out the mess made by his country's nuclear testing (although amazingly, he can't seem to find a decent cup of coffee in all of downtown Manhattan, where the streets are paved with Starbucks). None of this comes together nicely, as the filmmakers rob and steal from the history of science fiction to pan out the thin plot. Looking for an homage to "King Kong"? There's Big G on the Brooklyn Bridge. "Jurassic Park", perhaps? Try hundreds of Baby Godzilla's running though Madison Square Garden. The list is endless. Perhaps it's fitting that the end credits are performed by Chief Thief Puff Daddy himself, lamely rapping over Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and having the nerve to call it his "own". In the end, "Godzilla" probably says more about America than we would care to admit. The filmmakers have taken what has become a beloved Japanese icon - as recognizable as Mickey Mouse here - and transformed him into nothing more than a soulless marketing exercise designed to sell toys, tshirts, and candy bars. The big guy deserved better. Read more Less

    This is Godzilla?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 31, 2001

    This is a fun movie, but, this movie could have been called anything except Godzilla. Basically, a giant lizard destroys a japanese fishing boat somewhere in the pacific and somehow manages to swim over to the east coast of the United States to rampa...ge New York. It's later found out that this giant lizard can lay eggs, and found the perfect nesting place in New York City, which is Madison Square Garden. I really didn't like how they made this "Godzilla" much weaker than the original. Machine guns and helicopters were able to scare it off, and cause it to run away! Tri-star tried to make this Godzilla seem more realistic, more believable, and the movie really did have some good special effects. However, I don't think this monster is worthy of the title "Godzilla". Anyhoo, the monster is finally destroyed by missles as it was wrapped around cables on the brooklyn bridge. While Madison Square Garden was bombed, one of the little buggers escaped. Could there be a sequel in the works? I sure hope not. Leave the Godzilla movies to the Japanese, the authority when it comes Godzilla films! Read more Less

    Okay so a lot of people hated the new Godzilla. I did too, but I love the DVD. I'm a Godzilla movie collector. As a matter of fact I loved the 2000 release. Godzilla DVD has great sound effects and rumbles to the DVD player better than Die Hard. The... graphics on the movie are so realistic, you can't really compare it to the Toho Ltd Godzilla. However, if you loved Jurrasic Park, you must buy this DVD. I gave it 4 stars. Read more Less
