Review of Godzilla (1998) by Eugene K — 18 Nov 2014
"Godzilla 1998" is a movie that I loved as a kid and it still holds nostalgic purpose for me but after over ten years and reading all over the web about how Emmerich ruined Godzilla's reputation, I can't disagree. The story's ok but ridiculous, the acting's meh aside from a fair few, too much is relied on CGI especially given that animatronics was a HUGE thing back then.
The worst of it though is, they gave the beast the name "Godzilla" when in reality, he/she's nothing like Godzilla. He/she runs from the army and is killed by a few missiles. He/she doesn't breathe fire. He/she's small compared to the actual Godzilla and is not indestructible.
Final consensus: As an action-packed, explosive regular monster flick, it's okay for it's time. But as a Godzilla movie... Hell no.
