Good start, but then it gets ruined

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I don't usually start like this, but...Come on guys, to all of you that thought this was a crummy movie, all I can say is...I loved it for several reasons.First off, it held tightly to the original 1950's movie concept, a mutated lizard from all the atomic bomb tests...Two, the movie let Godzilla be what he was, a frightening BIIG lizard, terrorizing New York City this time...And three, they inserted some fun, sometimes clever, humor into this outing, heh heh...Yes, it was fun watching this movie...not because of the humor involved, but because the movie actually has a soul, if you watch it closely...And yes, everytime I see this one, I remember that cute little Chiuahua in the Taco Bell commercials, going "Heere Zilli Zilla"...

Not really a review, just an opinion from seeing it 20 years after it was released. I never cared too much to see it as I thought it looked a little fake from the previews that I saw back in the day (although I did buy the soundtrack back then for the songs).
Decided to watch it and although I cringed at a lot of parts - some of the direction, sometimes the acting or the dialogue that was written, plus a lot of the CGI - there was a lot that could have been better.
It wasn't a good story.
The CGI wasn't great, even for the time.
Character interactions were shocking at times.
But, I still found myself watching to the end and I had a good time. The more recent 2014 Godzilla was outstanding in my opinion and this '98 mo ie does not touch that. But, I just viewed it as an over-hollywoodised monster film and just enjoyed it as a B-Grade movie in a better budget. That way I could laugh in some places. I don't really recommend the film. But it wasn't a total disaster. It really did remind me of how a lot of films were done in the 90's - the style in which they wrote I mean. We've come a long way.

I love this film, it's really fun and inventive! Great way to spend a couple of hours.I am pretty unhappy with the amount of hate the film gets; it's good! Too much CGI for my tastes generally but because I can remember being a little kid in the cinema watching it I've got a soft spot for it.Performances are good, casting is good, plot is good, music is good, it's all fine! Watch this film! And enjoy it!

This is one of the first movies I ever saw and have now seen it many many many times. It was and still is one of my favorite movies/films of all time. 5 out of 5, 10 out of 10, 20 out of 20, 100 out of 100. I really wish a sequel to this would have happened but sadly it looks like it didn't or at least hasn't happened yet. The 2014 Godzilla was amazing too, but this 1998 one holds a special place in my heart partially due to nostalgia.
