Review of Godzilla (1998) by Jim C — 11 Aug 2011
Godzilla, it has been a while since we last saw it. We have to say, although the hypes that went around the time of it's released, the movie was and is a big flop! First and foremost the visual effects suck big time. Not to say they are horrible, but they look cheap, especially compared with the dinosaurs of Jurassic park that came out 5 years before this Godzilla. In the movie though there are few great shots and moments..when Godzilla is caught by a fisherman and wrecks avoc around new York city really makes us excited and entertained..however through out the movie there is not a shot where we can see the whole of Godzilla without the rain or walking at night.FRUSTRATING!!
Anyway it's a comedy if you acknowledge all of the actors' performances as being a comical interpretation of stereotypical characters: THE FRENCH, THE SCIENTIST, THE AMERICAN ARMY, THE CUTE REPORTER, THE SELFISH MAJOR.
It's interesting however to see how the director frames few people reactions under Godzilla attack!
Still Godzilla is not brilliant but non the less entertaining.
