  • Gojira from 1954 made loyal Godzilla fans from Japan to America. But the 1990's remake from the Independence Day director got loads of criticism. Sure it's not perfect. But is this kaiju film REALLY the worst Godzilla movie ever made?

    You can't talk about this film without talking about Godzilla The Series. The best American godzilla series ever to air on television.

    The scenes of the helicopters chasing Zilla through the city is one of the best experiences I've had watching a movie in the cinema. On the big screen it really felt like I was flying through the city in the helicopter.

    This is truly an underrated movie, this alone was what made me a Godzilla fan. I love it's design and how "real" it is and how believable it feels. Definitely one I'll never forget and definitely one I will show to my future kids. Loved the cartoon show as well!

    I am a G-Fan and i love this movie. I was born a few yrs after this movie came out but it was my first intro to Godzilla as well as the whole kaiju genre along with Peter Jackson’s King Kong. I have seen all the Godzilla movies and yeah this isn’t the worst Godzilla movie of all time and there were plenty of silly moments even in the recent movies like Godzilla & Mechagodzilla clearly laughing in Godzilla VS Kong. I also love this design and its up there in my top favorite Godzilla incarnations. This movie, while it does have problems but what movie doesn’t, its still an entertaining movie and I’m glad more people are starting to warm up to it. I really wish we got to see the planned sequels that were cancelled where the surviving Godzilla offspring had its offsprings along with The Runt and fight the mutated insects as well as see Nick and Philippe develop since they’re my fav characters in the movie.

    I like this movie as a kid and I loved that they continued the story in the animated series. I just wishes that it did not get cancelled in season 2

    My dude I loved this movie. I remember being 8 years old and the theater went crazy. Literally cheering at moments. Definitely doesn't deserve the hate. Without it ppl like me wouldn't have experienced Goji especially the older movies mainly because TV had alot of Godzilla marathons around the time of 98's release.

    This is the Godzilla I grew up with. I know it's not perfect, but I LOVE it. I know the original versions are "better" but this film is just pure nostalgia entertaining fun. I still have one of those WEIRD Taco Bell kids meal things of a Zilla baby hatching from an egg. Not sure where it is though, but dang that's a memory hidden deep in my childhood

    Funny enough I met Gary L. King, who worked on the practical effects of Godzilla (1998), and Young Frankenstein. He just happened to stop by at my place of work asking for a road map, which we didn't have anywhere on the store shelves.

    The scene where Roache bugged the mayor and then just let his umbrella go and walked off was so dope. He and Broderick also did well together. Reno stole the whole show.
