You mean the corny, stupid, horrible looking spirit of that guy in a rubber suit stepping on fake buildings of Tokyo? Anyway, this movie deserves so much more credit... **** the critics
Where did you here this I really am interested in knowing?
Hey I think if they could have squeezed in Godzilla fighting another monster it would have been better... In a way it was a remake of the American "Gozilla 1984" where he fought the army there too... I don't understand why people down the movie so much, the Godzilla looked 500x better than the "guy in a rubber suit" ... What about Godzilla 2000? Did anyone see that one? I didn't, but I wanted to... I think its where he fought some kind of alien monster...

I'm watching the movie right now, almost up to the part where they find the nest and I'm loving every second of it. The effects are great, Mathew Broderick and the rest of the cast are great and quite often funny (Thank you very much 😆 ) and the scenes are so epic they're just amazing. I love that part when Godzilla first comes to NYC and Animal records him and gets stepped on but lives. Oh my god...

Wow. You really are messed up.
I enjoy classic Godzilla, but at the same time I loved the update to him, he just seemed so much slicker, sleeker and snazzier. It looked as though it could make circles around the old Godzilla, and look good doing it! However I did not know the whole history of them making a film about Godzilla fighting the '98 Godzilla, which they name Zilla. That's cool. I would've loved to have seen that!
Wow. You really are messed up.
Okay so because someone likes a movie that happened to get bad reviews, and other people don't like ... They are automatically messed up. I'll have you know that some of the worst critiqued movies of all time, are some of my favorites. I have a stable job, am married, have 4 yr old daughter, and enjoy practicing martial arts.... So am I messed up? Don't down people just because they like movies you don't and they happened to get bad reviews, to me I'll go see a movie just because the "critics" didn't like it! And I usually end up enjoying it. I have a different taste in movies than most people, does that make me messed up. I don't think so...
Since King Kong and Godzilla have both been "updated" it would be sweet to see the CGI-galore fest of the two battling it out, only to then team up against a new more powerful threat!! Then when they go "celebrate" ... well let's just say at the end we see several Godzilakongs running around! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!
I gotta agree Godzilla *1998* is mi fav movi of all time ive bnw watchn that movi since i was 5 nd it still nvr gets old.... i just recently bought it on dvd aftr havn it on vhs all these years nd hav bn watchn it ovr nd ovr again like crazy...... they deff HAV to make a sequal, bad ratins or gud ratins i mean @ the friggn end they showd that a baby was still alive that means sequal they owe it to all those who want it.... ive bn waitn 4 the sequal evr since i saw the endin 4 the 1st time nd still am.... nd **** the japanese cause their godzilla version suck!!!!!!! i watchd 1 nd stopd cause it was so bad.... i seriously hope that they decide to make a sequal nd soon cause no joke there was no point of godzilla *1998* if they nvr were gonna make the sequal, gud ratings or not
The original 1954 Gojira is good. The 1956 American version, Godzilla King of the Monsters isnt bad either. Also, Ghidrah the three headed monster, Vs. Monster Zero, and Destroy all Monsters are alot of fun as well.
I enjoy the Toho Godzilla films personally, Tristar's Godzilla didnt do a whole lot for me despite enjoying all the hype surrounding the film itself. Simply put, it just wasnt what a Godzilla film should be. It was more akin to "Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" than Godzilla.
Really ... if Godzilla 1998 was retitled "Beast from 20,000 fathoms" back when it was released, I think reviews for it would be alot kinder. It's a decent giant monster film ... it's just not Godzilla.
i know this is like.... 3 - 4 years late but out of the ending of godzilla they WERE going to make a sequel, but due to the horrendous induction and reception this movie got from japan, critics and some of the media rolands scrubbed it. instead off the ending they spawned a cartoon series as the "sequel".
