During a nuclear test, the French government inadvertently mutates a lizard nest; years later, a giant lizard makes its way to New York City. Dr. Niko Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick), an expert on the effects of radiation on animals, is sent by the U.S. government to study the beast. When the creature, dubbed "Godzilla" by news outlets, emerges, a massive battle with the military begins. To make matters worse, Niko discovers that Godzilla has laid a nest of 200 eggs, which are ready to hatch.

You are half correct about the Sequel, altho its not in movie form the ending of this movie does setup the animated series, its called Godzilla: The Series.
yeah that the best godzilla series ep you want to that
This Godzilla movie was definitely something else. This movie got a mass ton of marketing, some of the cast members of The Simpsons, and even after this movie’s release it got an animated series. A lot of people probably remember this movie a lot, but honestly the main part of the movie I remember was Matthew Broderick saying “That’s a lot of fish…”
The cartoon was the sequel idea being used
😂😂😂😂
this last egg is what opened a godzilla tv series, starring this one egg that survived.
This movie was my intro to the King of Monsters himself
Same
Oh wow, I'm sorry. That's just horribly depressing to think that ANYONE'S first exposure to Godzilla was this trash. That would be like someone first learning about Superman by playing Superman 64 on N64.
Yup same, it's why I'm very thankful that this existed cause if It didn't then I don't think I'd ever watch a Godzilla movie when I got older
@@thenightstar8312no, it's not depressing, cause If you just detach this from the actual Godzilla then what you'll get is a fun "monster rampages across a city" movie, at least imo
Mine too
I always found the little ones scarier because they reminded me of the raptors from Jurassic Park.
This was the first Godzilla movie I've seen since I was a kid. I know it's not the godzilla that we know. But Hey, it's one of my childhood and I did enjoy it.
This American adaptation of Godzilla was not well received. The monster that was dubbed “Zilla” found its way into the “Godzilla Final Wars” film and was taken down by the OG Godzilla in battle, just to make a point.😅
In less than a minute to add insult to injury.
He's been treated more respectfully since than, having prominent roles in the comic book _Rulers of Earth_ and the _Monster Apocalypse_ novels
I'm about to watch one of the most entertaining yet poorly rated movies of all time, in my opinion. "Godzilla" from 1998 may not be well-liked by many due to various reasons, which I can understand. However, I cannot deny how impressive the monster was in the film. It's been a while since I had this much fun watching a movie.
Godzilla '98 is the film that inspired me to be a Godzilla fan. I learned it had A LOT of fans Disliking the Design, but Thank God this Movie Existed!
I hate the haters lol this movie is genuinely so good! I wish they didn’t have that mob mentality.
From this film they released an animated series that acted as a direct sequel, since the series begins just with the fall of the father/mother Godzilla and the birth of Godzilla Junior (the one that is born from the egg).
Best Godzilla film by far better than the original better than the American films we have today it's just better
I like Godzilla 1998 but much prefer Godzilla 1954, Godzilla Minus One, and the MonsterVerse movies
@@colewarnerreviews5834 that's just my opinion okay
@@godzilla44556 I know that’s your opinion and I respect and I was just saying mine that’s all I review movies and this month is Godzilla where I’m gonna review as much Godzilla movies as I can. Maybe I’ll review Godzilla 1998 if I get time
I'm not saying I'm being Offensive okay I can respect other people's opinions and I can respect yours because I am not going to be offensive @colewarnerreviews5834
@@godzilla44556 at the end of the day I do like Godzilla 1998 despite its flaws.
I’ve reviewed the first 11 Toho Showa Era Godzilla movies.
I did also review The Return Of Godzilla, Godzilla Vs Destroyah and GMK Giant Monsters All Out Attack.
I also reviewed the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies
I’m so excited for Godzilla X Kong The New Empire (2024).
My next review will be Godzilla Vs Gigan (1972)
But once again, I respect your opinion
TheItalianStallion51 is a great movie reviewer I highly recommend and recently he reviewed Godzilla 1954 and he’s planning to review all the Godzilla movies this month or as much of them as he can. TheItalianStallion51 his favorite Godzilla movie is also Godzilla 1998
FINALLY IT'S GETTING THE LOVE IT DESERVES
idc what anyone says. This movie was part of my childhood and I LOVE it. I still have my Zilla and baby Zilla toys as well as a piggy bank that lights up and roars.
I still have that movie on tape back when blockbuster was still around and Godzilla got a cartoon series after this movie
Was one of the reasons why Peter Jackson’s remake of King Kong got put on hold because of this and the remake of Mighty Joe Young was released in 1998 and because of the poor reception of this, Disney lost faith in Mighty Joe Young giving it a Christmas resulting in it bombing at the box office. Definitely recommend the remake of Mighty Joe Young, an underrated gem along with the best animatronic gorilla effects ever put on screen thanks to Rick Baker.
You know they renamed this version of Godzilla, Zilla
I do like the design of the “Zilla” monster, just not the fact that it shared the name of the Toho monster we know and love.
10:31 Cameraman never dies
My favorite godzilla version tbh. The animated series is even better👌
Same. And Facts 😎
I'm a lifelong Godzilla fan, I saw this movie in the theater when I was a kid, I remember having fun watching it despite being disappointed that Godzilla didn't look the one from the old movies I had watched on VHS. The marketing for this was insane it was everywhere, my popcorn bucket and soda cup had Godzilla printed on them I was shocked when I found out years later that wasn't a bigger hit, it was packed when I watched it.
This was always my favorite godzilla movie! The 90's had something special with its movies,
If you’re a big fan of the Simpson’s tv series then you’d be happy to know that many of the voice actors played a role in this film. The Anchorman plays Kent Brockman, Smithers, Mr. Burns, and Reverend Lovejoy, the guy with the camera plays Moe and Appu, and there’s a moment with a woman with a cast on her arm, she plays Bart, Ralphie, and Nelson.
This is the first Godzilla movie I have ever seen❤. After this movie I got obsessed with the MonsterVerse. I always enjoy your reactions😀
“What did people think of this Godzilla back then?” asks Tim, so innocently. And to answer that, I have to bring you back to 1997.
The hype train for this movie was starting and would not let up one bit until the day of release that next summer. We were bombarded with ads *everywhere* saying “His eye is as big as this billboard!” “His claws are as long as this bus” “He’s taller than this building!” “His head is longer than this subway train!” And above all “Size DOES Matter!!!”
The thing is - none of the prerelease material showed us what Godzilla looked like. Maybe a foot, maybe an eye, but that’s about it; we never saw the whole creature. If I remember correctly, the promotional tour *was not allowed* to discuss what Godzilla looked like.
And then I saw the movie after all that and, well, immediately knew why they were so reluctant to show their Godzilla.
This is my favorite movie growing up my favorite Godzilla by far.
Awesome! I loved this movie. And i highly recommend you watch the sequel series. It's EVEN BETTER! Godzilla 1998(aka Zilla) and Zilla Jr. are my favorite godzilla incarnations! Edit: i kinda felt bad for this Godzilla because he's just an animal trying to survive. He wasn't even going out of his way to destroy things either. It was mostly by accident or self-defense. Also R.I.P. The Godzilla Babies.
The reaction was simply incomparable and amazing👏👏👏👏👏. I am looking forward to the reaction to the continuation of this story. After all, they made an animated series about this film.
Fun Fact: TOHO bought the rights to this version of Godzilla, which is now called Zilla, just so they could kill it in Godzilla Final Wars.
You should read the original script. Not only more respectful, but also has him fighting a very awesome monster known as the "Gryphon"! I highly recommend it!
There was a follow up cartoon show that follows the surviving offspring and the team and other mutations.
As some born in the early 2000s, this was my introduction to Godzilla, so I've kind always been one of its biggest defenders. I think if you look at it as less of a true Godzilla film, and just as a generic monster movie/b-movie, then it's a fun and wonderfully cheesy ride.
I was born in 1991 and huge into dinosaurs. This movie was one of my first PG-13 movies and I remember the ad on TV for it of Zilla stepping on the T rex skeleton. It also got me into Godzilla and I watched it all the time.
Watched this movie A LOT when I was a kid. I think in summer of 2000 I wore out the VHS because I watched pretty much everyday. Thankfully when I was 15 I got the dvd and I still have it. Also I had a remote control Godzilla toy and one of the baby Godzillas.
On Godzilla's speed, he can run at about 200 miles per hour with his stride. In a car, on a straightaway, you're caught. This was according to the CG artists at the time. The larger 400-foot Japanese version is also faster than a car. Just like an ant can run with all its might, you can take one step and be ahead of it.
On a side note, the Hulk can run 700 MPH, but it's never brought up much.
I know your starting monster verse,There's also a underrated movie called deep rising.A group of heavily armed hijackers board a luxury ocean liner in the South Pacific Ocean to loot it, only to do battle with a series of large-sized, tentacled, man-eating sea creatures who had already invaded the ship.
The 90s had the best creature features. Godzilla, Deep Rising, Mimic, Lake Placid, Anaconda, Deep Blue Sea, The Relic, Tremors, the list goes on. Urgh, I miss that era of movies so much.
Timm...
An important thing to know about this movie is, at the time it came out, Godzilla had been a largely dormant franchise for the past few years. Toho had been planning to let the Americans have their fun with Godzilla, while they planned for the original to make his comeback in 2004, for his fiftieth anniversary.
When this movie came out, it certainly made more than enough money ro justify sequels, but the shellacking it took from critics and ESPECIALLY Godzilla fans torpedoed that, as did Toho deciding to revise their plans and rush a new Godzilla movie into production.
I love this movie, I was 17 when this movie came out 😊
I absolutely love this movie one of my personal favorite childhood movies it was a huge part of my childhood that scene at the end was to set up a sequel that never got made which is a shame fantastic reaction 😊❤🎉
This movie feels more like a remake of the 1953 movie "The Beast from 20.000 Phathoms" this movie pretty much has the same plotlines and a lot of concepts
Remember seeing this in theaters ❤. Don't care what anyone says. I still enjoy this movie even today 😊
Jean Reno , waht a great cast for this role.. also Hank Azaria and of course M. B.
I remember the old man fishing from the old movie trailer 😂
IDK I grew up with this as a kid. Looking it as more of a Jurassic Park knock-off it ain't that bad.
There was no movie sequel of this godzilla but it did have a animated series sequel.
I loved this movie as a kid I remember watching it all the time when I was younger plus I still do now
Even though it's not very popular, I think it's still a fun movie with a some pretty great scenes!
Also, your reaction to the drama with Audrey was priceless! 😂
And maybe a bit of a hot take, but I actually really like Godzilla's design! It looks like it's more based on different types of iguanas, like for example cuban rock iguanas or marine iguanas, which I think is definitely pretty neat.
Also, I actually used to have a plushie of this Godzilla as kid, which I liked to walk around in a stroller! 😄
The baby godzilla at the end comes back as a full grown in the Japanese godzilla franchise in the movie godzilla final wars
I own this movie, 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow ... and love them in that order 😂
Childhood favorite and underrated. A lot people hate it, I don't. I'll always defend it
this version of Godzilla is the only one that matters to me
My Childhood
classic when i was a kid
The new Monsterverse movie is coming out this month! I can't wait for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire! I'll be there opening day watching it in 4DX. I hope you'll watch it at some point when the theater run ends or... yeah.
I liked this movie and its sequel series
Another Roland Emmerich flick you should check out if you haven't seen it is Stargate. Absolute sci-fi classic.
8:46 lol what's a cop gonna do to stop Godzilla? Write him a ticket?
16:50 that pharmacy is mostly likely outside the quarantine zone in New Jersey. That's where the military and press were staged.
21:10 yeah she's the worst...
I still love this movie. I've been a Godzilla fan for as long as I can remember. Yes, this isn't THE Godzilla, but I still think it's great. Loved the animated series (which was about the baby that hatched at the end), and loved that Zilla appeared in Final Wars and the IDW comics.
To find out what happened with that egg at the end, you have to watch the animated series.
Dude i had a godzilla bday party as a kid and we saw this movie and then got pizza next door after hahaha
Yoooooo a godzilla bday party as a kid sounds fire 🎉🔥
If it wasn't for this movie I wouldn't be a Godzilla fan so this movie has my respect
I'm a fan of Godzilla 98 but the best way ti describe this movie as a Godzilla movie it's pretty bad as a random Giant Monster it's pretty great and that's how I like to think of Godzilla 98
this godzilla is the og big g
This movie was my introduction to Godzilla. As such, I didn't think it deserved the hate it got. I mean, sure, they changed a LOT from what Godzilla is really like, and I can see why some people wold consider it an insult to the real Godzilla, but as a stand-alone movie, like if they simply didn't say this was Godzilla, I thought it was pretty good. And yeah, looking at the CGI today, it's off, but for it's time, the effects were great.
The first Godzilla movie made outside of Japan.
For most classic fans of Japanese Godzilla, this was a disappointment. For one thing, this version does not breathe atomic fire, and is also smaller and weaker than the original Godzilla. The other big problem is that there was no rival giant monster to fight.
There is, however, an animated TV show that continues the story of the 1998 film, which is arguably better than the movie because, for one thing, it has more monsters.
However, I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon to hate the 1998 movie. It's decent in its own right. The problem is that it bore the title Godzilla, and the monster itself is nothing like Godzilla. Instead, this might as well have been a remake of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms.
In fact, since it's a totally different monster from Godzilla, Toho renamed this American Godzilla to Zilla.
You should watch GODZILLA the series next
I preferred this movie over ALL other Godzillas. This one was more animalistic (not walking upright like that other thing).
Stargate with Kurt Russell & James Spader ! Directed by Roland Emmerick
Godzilla 98 was awesome 😎
That last Godzilla baby they used it for a cartoon TV show
I don’t care what people say
I love this movie
There’s even a tv show that I use to watch all the time
This movie did Godzilla wrong, it was like making a Superman movie where he dosent has superpowers and can be hurted by a gun
You should also react to the animated series
Ohhhh I remember this! I’s like a guilty pleasure, I don’t know why was so poorly rated, the cinema I went was packed and it was hard to get tickets. It also has a great soundtrack, the main theme (with Puff Daddy 🤣) was everywhere!
Hey Tim,
I like this Godzilla film better than the other Japanese Godzilla films. Everyone has their own taste. Be sure to watch "The day after Tomorrow (2004) and 2012 (2009), also by Roland Emmerich
Glad u enjoyed the movie , it s one of my favorites and it introduced me to the Godzilla character .
Also if u can , I should check out the animated series sequel , it’s amazing .
A decent monster movie, terrible Godzilla adaptation. Watch the animated series it's way better. 44:04 here's the answer to your question it was the design and how the character been portrayed. He runs away from the military, he doesn't shoot his atomic breath, he gets killed by the regular missiles instead of a super weapon, it's a huge Jurassic Park rip off. And what's worse of all Roman Emerich hated Godzilla
This version of Godzilla gets a lot of flack, but I like this one more than the current version. Why? More scientifically possible. The probability of a giant lizard forming after years of radiation exposure is beyond what can possibly be brought into actual numbers, but in my view, it's still more likely than the Hollow Earth theory the current version uses for origins. This one goes by instinct like all animals in the natural world. Godzilla here isn't being malicious. It's natural. Last time I saw this movie from beginning to end was actually during a RiffTrax Live event broadcast into a movie theater. RiffTrax is done by some of the guys that used to be on Mystery Science Theater 3000. They have a website you can check out.
@bienG6745 1998 Godzilla is, I'm guessing, designed to be more like a Galapágos iguana. An aquatic lizard that also lives on land. The more current Godzilla films mixed with King Kong never really piqued my interest. Couldn't get into the story.
I think with time, opinions have softened a little about this movie. I think there being some really good Godzilla movies to come after this has helped. Really, I think it comes down to this being a fine monster movie, but it's not a good Godzilla movie. The monster design is fine too, but it's not Godzilla. A major part of the failing is that it has the Godzilla name on it.
The only good thing that came from this movie was the animated series we got
Maybe try to watch the leprechaun movies for March
Hi Tim how are you?? I hope you can do a reaction to all of the Paranormal Activity movies and all of the Resident Evil movies
This movie got way too much hate. As far as a Godzilla movie yeah it’s not the real Godzilla but if you ignore that it’s actually an epic monster movie. The Godzilla design and Audrey are the only complaints people have of this movie
The movie is good
Oh please please PLEASE react to the animated series for this movie. I've loved it since I first saw it on Netflix and later got it on DVD when Toys R Us was still a thing. It would mean the world to me if I could watch the whole thing again with you. So, please, think about it?
43:03 yes very fun movie
There's is a animated series that pretty good too
Mabye you should Watch the other Japanese godzilla movies like the shin godzilla movie
personally if they just didn't Call this "Godzilla" it would be beater received.
Sea horses don't reproduce asexualy,the female lays eggs in the male
Don’t you think it’s pretty much like jerrasic park Dosen,t it remind you of a jerrasic park movie
Can you react to the first Godzilla movie from 1954
PLEASE REACT TO "SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON"! It's a story about a strong, beautiful horse with a spirit that can never be broken.
I cry every time i watch it! It's a INCREDIBLE film, and the songs are so cool! But it's not a musical and the animals can't talk. 😭💔🔥
Nah, the CG was pretty dated for when it came out also sadly lol. The movie gets alot of hate, but its still kinda of campy fun. To be fair, the night shots of Godzilla are a bit better as most kaiju movies always look better at night.
This movie is so AWFUL..... Godzilla is the KING, not a poor innocent creature!
Incredibly overhated movie
I literally cannot understand why ANYONE in their right mind would watch this garbage movie WILLINGLY
I dont like 1998 Godzilla.
Watch godzilla x Kong the new empire
Decent monster flick, bad Godzilla movie
Thinking “That’s a lot of fish” was gonna be the next “Your gonna need a bigger boat” line.
Well, that failed horribly....
13:51 For I thought Godzilla is going to eat him, but it didn’t.
42:41 I am afraid there’s no sequel. They released the animated series and the second Godzilla is on Nick’s side and battling the mutation monsters
Iguanazilla is entertaining enough, but it will never be the real King Of The Monsters. I also really love Matthew Broderick and Hank Azaria. They've both got iconic characters under their belts.
Matthew Broderick: Inspector Gadget, Simba (adult), Ferris Bueller
Hank Azaria: Moe & Apu from The Simpsons & Gargamel from the live action Smurfs movies
I have a soft spot for this godzilla as it was my first introduction to it, plus I got an early glimpse of all the marketing campaign bc that year I went to the US during the summer. That movie was huge in it's time! Plus, banger song from Jamiroquai
This version of Godzilla movie was so hated by not only fans (personally it is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me) but also Toho that one they refer to the monster as Zilla & 2nd they placed it in the movie “Godzilla Final Wars” for only a few seconds so that way for Godzilla to just straight up kill it, but here is something ironic that this got an animated series afterwards which is actually good where several characters of the movie continue their adventures with a new Godzilla
