Review of Godzilla (1998) by Tyler A — 31 May 2014
The only good thing about this movie is that it has some impressive action scenes, smoothly edited and the first time a monster of this size was ever so realistically depicted. But everything else is awful.
The human storyline is utterly worthless, the acting and dialogue is embarrassing and cringe-worthy, and "Godzilla" himself is the worst of all. They took the most iconic movie monster of all time and made him unrecognizable -- a wimpy, skinny, box-headed ugly iguana, who shares none of Godzilla's trademark characteristics aside from being big.
It would be like if they remade Superman, but depicted Superman as a gorilla who can't fly and can be killed with bullets. But since he is still strong and we call him Superman, everyone should be okay with it, right? Well, no.
See the 2014 movie instead, and forget this one ever happened.
