Evan C This is a disgrace to Godzilla. This is probably one of the worst movies ever. I don't recommend anyone having to suffer watching this disgrace to the big G. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Deepak V Godzilla (1998) may be one of the most divisive entries in the franchise, but it has its own unique charm that makes it a memorable watch even today. Roland Emmerich reimagines the legendary monster with a modern, Hollywood blockbuster touch, delivering a film filled with spectacular action sequences, groundbreaking (for its time) special effects, and a larger-than-life sense of scale. The creature design, though different from the classic Toho Godzilla, is striking and truly terrifying in its own right, bringing a fresh perspective to the legendary kaiju. The New York City setting adds intensity and excitement, transforming the urban jungle into a battlefield between humanity and an unstoppable force of nature. The film’s pacing keeps audiences hooked, with a mix of thrilling chase scenes, military clashes, and tense moments of suspense. While the story takes creative liberties, it succeeds in offering a high-energy disaster movie that doesn’t shy away from grand spectacle. In many ways, Godzilla (1998) paved the way for Western audiences to rediscover the kaiju genre. It’s bold, ambitious, and unapologetically fun—a cult classic that deserves appreciation for daring to reimagine a legend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Nico S. Loved this movie as a kid I grew up with it, but after a recent rewatch I have to say the only good thing about this movie was the nostalgia…. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Khaliel P In 1998, the American studio TriStar, having acquired the rights to Godzilla in the U.S., produced its own film. In the story, Godzilla is awakened by nuclear tests in the South Pacific and arrives in New York, causing massive destruction. Mutation expert Dr. Nick Tatopoulos is first consulted by the army but is dismissed when his theories are considered implausible. Afterward, he meets Agent Philippe Roaché and continues to study Godzilla independently to understand its behavior and mitigate the damage. The film, mostly set at night and in rain, partly hides CGI limitations, but Godzilla’s size and proportions remain inconsistent. Human characters, like Jean Réno, are caricatured, and the monster is redesigned as a giant velociraptor, with Minilla becoming aggressive. The movie was heavily criticized, earned Razzie nominations, and Japanese fans later renamed the creature Zilla. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review randomshjt 2.
