Godzilla Reviews

Great film

From the director of Independence Day, there are some similarities in this film.

There is the new threat to the earth that is very hard to defeat, the slightly meek and loveable main character coupled with the more aggressive and funny other main character, with the government doing one thing while a small group of others take care of another, when put together the mission succeeds.

You will notice these similarities while watching this, however it's still a great movie. The graphics are very good and it's very entertaining. The movie makes you like both the main characters and Godzilla, and somehow makes you want both to win. It's almost like they're on the same team.

This is a great movie, and I think its well worth a rent. It would be particularly good as a family type movie as the violence isn't very gory and I don't think it contains any swear words.

I recommend this film. Enjoy!

Monster movie or Godzilla movie?

If you can forget that the title is 'Godzilla' then this is an above average creature feature that is entertaining for a couple of hours. If you are a Godzilla fan this movie will irritate you, as the star is an overgrown iguana that runs in fright from the military, rather than the nuclear monster from Japan who is prepared to slog it out with the army and trash cities in the process.

Mediocre

I didn't have high hopes for this film and I was proved right. This film is an all round mediocre affair, some previous year's summer blockbuster. It has none of the original film in it, of what it symbolized and meant for that era and audience, though I'm sure that wasn't this filmmaker?s intention anyway.

I only got this film out because it has two of my favourite actors in it, but what the wonderful Hank Azaria and genesis Jean Reno are doing here I really don't know, what were they thinking?!

The CGI Godzilla is impressive in size and design. But I'm afraid there isn't a lot else to recommend this film to you. The plot is completely predictable, and they seem to want to squeeze the thing out as much as they can, so that it really does get ridiculous and very boring.

The only other good thing about it is of course the Jamiroquai song and I think the video is one of the extra features on this DVD.

Still I give it 3 stars, as there are worse things out there, this film isn't offensive in anyway at all and will provide you with a distraction on a bored evening when there is nothing better on offer.

Much underrated film with fine performances from Jean Reno and Mathew Broderick. If you like science fiction then this is watchable otherwise it is best avoided.

Massive

God zill a, brilliant

This is not Godzilla

This Hollywood Godzilla is all flash. However dumb the guy in the rubbersuit looked, the original Godzilla movie had a sense of dread that gave its story real tragic weight. This piece of junk is just an excuse for CGI. Really, if you want to enjoy a recent Hollywood monster movie, see the first Jurassic Park. If you want to see a good Godzilla movie, rent the Japanese original.

Godzilla

This id a great disater movie with excellent special effects which benefited from the Jurrasic park films.

Any fan of the kids tv show or the godzilla genre will enjoy this blockbuster film.

A good storyline and great action films keep you wanting more and keep you on the edge of your seat.

A great disaster movie.

Much better than I was expecting - think Jurassic Park with just the 1 dino (ooops, lizard thingy) in New York (i think). Watchable brain out nonsense.

One big lizard

Very good film worth watching for comedy content and general good action. Far fetched but it is about an enormous lizard. Go on enjoy!!!!!!!!!

kids will love it

good family 'jurassic type' film, kept my son quiet. Although it seemed some point godzilla would never die. Also one minuite a commodo dragon, igunana and then a t-rex dinasour look alike! Good action quite a long film for littleones
