Review of Godzilla (1998) by John R — 17 Oct 2014
141018: I will give this film a 3 again. Sounds like Godzilla but is not the Gojira we all know and love. I assume they planned on making a sequel hence all the babies being born. Well, hate to break it to them but the real Godzilla (aka Gojira) made a comeback this year.
A weak come back in my humble opinion but a comeback nonetheless. Not sure how someone could've thought this film a suitable tribute to the original maker of Godzilla, Tomoyuki Tanaka, but they did.
Anyway, in regards to this film, I found it entertaining when I got over the lack of resemblance to the original. Enjoy it for the action film it is. Diehard Godzilla fans will gripe, and rightfully so, but standing alone, this film is a reasonably decent monster/action film and will entertain for a couple hours.
Oh yeah, worth noting; in 1998, according to a news reporter in this film, the worst disaster in New York history was the "bombing of the World Trade Centre". Both towers prominently make an appearance in the film.
Wish they could've anticipated what would occur in a couple years.
