Review of Godzilla (1998) by Nishan P — 05 Aug 2011
Godzilla is the type of film that you watch when you're 12 and you think it's the best film ever. But once you hit your mid twenties, you realize that whatever you thought was great in films when you were 12, is actually crap.
I have never seen an original Godzilla film; but I have to say that this film is a disgrace to the original Japanese films. I have seen snippets of the original films, but nothing more. Roland Emmerich crafts a film that is based more on the special effects than on plot or character development.
Not to mention that this Godzilla is much smaller than the original. Looking back now that I'm in my twenties, I have to say that this film sucks. I think this is Emmerich's worst film along with 10,000 B.
C. The film lacks anything to make it appealing. Luckily I grew wiser and discovered what truly makes a good film. Godzilla is not one of those films. A pointless action film with terrible acting, Roland Emmerich's film is simply a big disappointment, and is a film that has definitely not stood out the test of time.
One of the worst remakes too. The film relies more on its special effects than on story. The end result is a film that's struggling to be entertaining without offering anything really that interesting on screen.
A stupid and awful remake.
