| Writer-director Roland Emmerich has produced some of the biggest box-office
champs in history, particularly the grossly silly though often fun "Independence
Day." Back in 1998, he produced and directed the most overhyped movie event of
all time,...more |

| The advertisements said that size does matter. I guess that's a bit of an
irony considering the size of this film's budget. Even with all of the money
that was obviously spent on this movie, Godzilla will probably go down as

| Let me make this point first – Godzilla isn’t even as good as the
inferior South Park episode starring Barbra Streisand as the lizard
king. It’s a horrendously long, poorly acted, unoriginal piece of crap
that made me sad to be a Japanese-American. more |

| Let's put it like this. When this movie came out, critics panned it for
being plotless. Pointless. Lack of decent dialog. Yada. Yada. Did these
guys watch any of the original movies? I adored them. In case you missed
