Review of Godzilla (1998) by Martha R — 09 Oct 2018
Ronald Emmerich's Godzilla is a big budget movie with cheesy sensibilities. Is it good? Well that depends on the circumstances you see it in. As a kid I loved it and it always reminds me of late 90s nostalgia.
But now that one sees it they see what a flawed one this is. For starters the whole film seems to be either aping or paying tribute to the then recent Jurassic Park. The lead played by Mathew Broderick is a wimp and the "leading lady" was so bad I don't remember anything about her expect that she was a TV journalist of sorts.
The effects of Godzilla romping through NYC are decent(especially for the time) but this isn't anything special nowadays. Still if you want to watch a monster movie this can be given a shot.
