Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
As "gigantic monster reptile attacks New York" movies go, you've got to admit that Godzilla delivers the goods, although its critical drubbing and box-office disappointment were arguably deserved. It's a shameless, uninspired crowd-pleaser that's content to serve up familiar action with the advantage of really fantastic special effects, and if you expect nothing more you'll be one among millions of satisfied customers. There's really no other way to approach it--you just have to accept the fact that Independence Day creators Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin are unapologetic plagiarists, incapable of anything more than mindless spectacle that can play in any cinema in the world without dubbing or subtitles. The whole movie plays out like a series of highlights stolen from previous blockbusters of the 1990s; it's little more than a rehash of the Jurassic Park movies. The derivative script is so trivial that it's unworthy of comment, apart from a few choice laughs and the casting of Michael Lerner as New York's mayor, whose name is Ebert and who closely resembles a certain well-known movie critic. Perhaps that's a clever hint that this movie's essentially critic-proof. It's stupid but it's fun, and for most audiences that's a fitting definition of mainstream Hollywood entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Zorro, a pop-fiction creation invented by Johnston McCulley in 1918, is given new blood in this fast-moving and engaging version. Director Martin Campbell wisely instils a measure of frivolity into the deftly choreographed action sequences, while letting a serious tone creep in when appropriate. This covers much ground under the banner of romantic-action-adventure and it does so most excellently. --Rochelle O'Gorman, Amazon.com

Rating: - What Happened To The Sequel
I must be the only person who gave this 5 stars because i must say i genuinly loved this film. Matthew Broderick plays an excellent role in this movie as the scientist who is hell bent on finding out what made Gojira. It has been 12 years since this remake of the original 1954 legendary classic that first introduced us to Godzilla.
For those who are not familiar with the monster in this movie then Godzilla is a lizard mutated by nuclear bomb testing and grew to 100's of stories tall. For some ... Read More

Rating: - French croissants and American coffee
This film is not very original as for the monsters which are a cross between Spielberg’s dinosaurs and Ridley Scott’s aliens. The plot itself is very similar too and yet there are a lot of new elements that make the film interesting. First the cause that produced the monsters is plausible : the French nuclear tests in the South Pacific caused some « lizards » to mutate into giant and intelligent creatures. Then the main place is New York. The film can thus allude to many other situations, King ... Read More

Rating: - It's NOT Godzilla! Shame on you, Emmerich & Devlin!
This is without of doubt one of the worst films of the 1990's. As a big fan of Godzilla, I was so angry when this film turned out to be an insult to the Japanese films. True, the Japanese Godzilla is a man-in-a-monster suit, but it contains a soul in which this travesty is missing.

Despite being touted as an incredible remake of the first, ever Godzilla movie, Roland Emmerich's & Dean Devlin's $125 million disappointment is just a poor man's version of THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (1953), ... Read More

Rating: - GINO
Godzilla In Name Only. These are the best words I can use to describe this movie. Yes, the CGI did look great at the time, yes, the movie was realistic but the Japanese Godzilla is much better. Many people think that, Gojira is unrealistic. What is more unrealistic? An iguana mutated into a 50meter tall monster? or a living dinosaur, which is already 30 meters tall, and is mutated another 20 meters. Both are absurd, I agree but deliver the goods this does not. Way too much time is spent on Godzilla's children ... Read More
