To put in simple terms, Godzilla just plain sucked. I didn't want to say it that way, but that is the only way I can think of expressing my opinion toward it. I try not to be negative, but in this case I just can't help it. It is easily the worst movie of the year so far. If you haven't seen the movie, here is a brief synopsis. An egg of a lizard somewhere in the South Pacific was contaminated with radiation during some French nuclear tests. Many years later, this same lizard manages to find its way to New York, so it can lay its eggs. The big lizard destroys various parts of New York and is chased around by hundreds of soilders with guns, but they don't succeed. I don't really feel like saying any more because what happens in this movie is so proposterous and it would just be waste of my time.
I know Godzilla is just a b-movie and is just supposed to entertain and not be Oscar-calibur or anything, BUT, they could have done such a better job with it. For one thing, they could have spent more than $10 on a script. The special effects were good, I have to say, but what movie lately hasn't had good special effects? I didn't like how Godzilla looked, however. He, I mean "it", was looked much like a Dinosaur from the neck down and from the neck up, it didn't look good at all. I don't even know how to explain it. The performances were terrible, but that probably went along with the script because the actors had nothing to work with. The only decent job was done by Jean Reno, as a French activist (I'm not sure if that is the proper word), who is trying to make up for France's mistake in nuclear testing. The movie is also totally unbelievable. I'm not even going to get in to some of the things that happened because the list would be a mile long. Well, enough bashing of the movie, I'm kind of tired.
