Review of Godzilla (1998) by Kevin M — 30 Jan 2018
I really wanted time to kinder to this movie since I haven't seen it in almost 20 years. I love Broderick and Jean Reno and even though they got the spirit of Godzilla totally wrong, he still looks cool, for the most part.
The baby Godzillas thought? Nope. Too much like the raptor scenes from Jurassic Park. Reading the interviews with Emmerich prove he was completely wrong for the job. Devlin didn't help matters but he should've been the bigger voice here since he at least understood the material.
Godzilla is probably Japan's most popular and beloved export. Hollywood did not pick the right people because said people didn't love Godzilla. In 2014, they finally got it right.
