- KakashiHX14. maj 2026Been many years since watching this. Unfortunately I do understand the criticism about it, it doesnt follow the lore of "godzilla" much at all, so I understand why this was dubbed "zilla" instead. Decent movie still none the less, just to many similar ideas to jurassic park. If this was named anything else, it would probably have done much better.
- ርልዪረ12. februar 2025American update based on the 1954 classic Japanese masterpiece received a reputation as the black sheep of the Godzilla/Kaiju legacy. But is it really that bad? Providing a different tone for a film that's subsequent to the beloved original seems redundant for purists, unless it plays it's cards right. Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, remade the original classic by translating it into an American effects-heavy popcorn blockbuster with satisfying execution. Roland Emmerich (director/co-writer) is the perfect person for this enterprise, because when it comes to destruction, Roland is capable of turning chaotic carnage into a gripping cinematic artform. The craftmanship on display is spectacular and memorable; offering grandiose cinematography, as well as shooting images from a person's perspective from inside of either a ship, a helicopter, or a taxi cab. It even delivers humor that really hits the spot with a slick sense of timing. This spectacle offers a story that unfolds themes like the dangerous consequences of bomb testing, messing with nature, and it's also about taking responsibility for your mistakes. Moving at a breezy pace, "Godzilla" is a fascinating and exhilarating large-scale thrill ride of ambitious proportions. Patrick Tatopoulos and his effects team brought the titular beast and it's killer babies to life with a mix of CGI and animatronics. The special effects are striking to look at with cool body designs and tangible details that were well-implemented. The imposing titular beast itself is definitely an awe-inspiring sight to behold; It's a colossal creature that looks like a mutant hybrid between an iguana, and a theropod, and it uses strategy to kill it's prey. This beast has a few interesting layers that evokes imagination: Just like it's original counterpart, this amphibious leviathan is a symbol of the consequences of nuclear war, yet it's also a large dinosaur ravaging the city, and it's a huge, dangerous animal that runs amok. This creature delivers a believable sense of weight and mass. The vocalizations for the beast were provided by Frank Welker. The music score by David Arnold is a jingoistic orchestral score that captures the sweeping magnitude of the film as it delivers a dramatic sense of awe. The characters possess some decent character development with simple, realistic precision, and they have some agreeable arcs to fulfill the proceedings. The cast seems to be having fun doing their work, without being over-the-top, and yet they know exactly how to act or imitate anybody's reactions. The banters between them are amusing to watch at times too. Nick Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick) is a geeky biologist worth rooting for as he plays a heroic role in the film, but he does have some admiration, even sympathy, for the creature, which makes him likable. Jean Reno brings a cool and mysterious performance to his character named Phillipe. Audrey (Maria Pitillo) is a cute love interest for Nick, even though she made a lot of mistakes. However, she is determined to stand up for herself with confidence, and make some changes. Vicki Lewis did a nice job as a no-nonsense paleontologist named Dr. Elsie. Victor a.k.a "animal" (Hank Azaria) is a cameraman who takes the role as a supporting character. Mayor Ebert (Kevin Dunn) may care for his country, but he is just a temperamental tyrant. Highly Recommended (suitable for kids 12 and up).
- Disent18. oktober 2025Great monster movie with awesome effects for the time, sure it's not "really" Godzilla, but for many of us this was the first Godzilla film we ever saw as kids, so it has a special place in our hearts. Think for yourselves people, was it entertaining? yes, Does it matter you were told that it isnt really Godzilla? unless you are Japanese, no it shouldn't matter.
- Zokkiie3. maj 2026Pure late-90s chaos in the best and worst ways. Everything feels oversized, noisy, and a little ridiculous, and honestly that’s kind of why I enjoy it. A lot of the visuals really haven’t survived the jump to modern standards, and some scenes feel way longer than they need to be, but I still get a ton of entertainment out of revisiting it. It’s one of those movies where nostalgia carries almost the entire experience for me. Objectively pretty flawed, but still a fun comfort watch.
- WiseGuySaidSo14. april 2026I would give this a higher rating if were not labeled a "Godzilla" film. As a standalone monster movie, it's actually pretty fun, and solid special effects. The most memorable for me at the time wasn't even the film itself, it was the Taco Bell commercials with the little chihuahua trying to trap the monster. "Here lizard, lizard, lizard.. Uh-oh, I think I need a bigger box!"
- Kevin Ward1. juli 2025Over and over again, they lure Godzilla out with a giant pile of fish, yet, they seemingly have zero plan for what to do when it’s successful. What is the plan, gentlemen?!?! This movie wants to be Jurassic Park so bad and pretty much disregards most actual Godzilla lore. The CGI looks so bad compared to almost all of the other blockbuster spectacles released around the same time, or even earlier. Also, it’s kind of amazing how forgettable most of the movie is. The only parts I truly remembered seems like it was the moments from the trailer. I had zero recollection of all the baby Gozillas running around.
