5 out of 10 because of the newer version of Godzilla. I understand this was back in the day and we didn't have the technology we have right now but this is my honest opinion.
Ah, Godzilla 1998. He may not be a true Godzilla, but he (and Zilla Jr. from the animated series) hold a special place in my heart. Both of them were one of my very first exposures to the Godzilla series as a kid.
I don't understand Godzilla fans. There's like 40 movies and 35 of them are terrible. But for some reason THIS Is the one they have the most issues with. Legit makes no sense
It's because Godzilla isn't supposed to be the straight up enemy of humanity. This Godzilla was just a big powerful beast that attacked humans and was created on accident by humanity's nuclear bombs. I think he's a mutant iguana in this movie. The original story for Godzilla/Gojiro is a prehistoric Kaiju defending the planet against pollution and other Kaiju, which would flip between him attacking and defending humans. So this movie's story deviated from what Godzilla was in the original series, so it's not liked by the true fan base as a Godzilla movie. As a stand alone it's accepted though. I also like this movie but also acknowledge it's not The Godzilla.
@@ebayroseUhh, that is not the original story of Godzilla at all. That's what Godzilla became popularized into. The original story of Godzilla is a metaphor for the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan and absolute devastation. He was originally exactly as you described he wasn't. Which is why the newer films in Japan, like Shin Godzilla and Godzilla minus 1, have returned to the original formula of Godzilla bringing devastation onto humanity. And in this Americanized Godzilla movie, Zilla doesn't have any animosity towards humans. It's just an animal that's too big for the world. It cares about humans like we care about ants. Too small to worry about or even to eat for food. Zilla only hunted fish and looked for a place for shelter, which is why it chose New York for its massive building and underground that hid Zilla. Not because Zilla was attacking humanity. The story ends bitter sweet with the audience feeling bad for Zilla with it and its babies dying, because it was just an animal trying to survive and raise its young, but it was impossible for it to co exist with humanity.
@@SynisterJeff Hollywood's first movie GODZILLA, was produced by TriStar Pictures in 1998 and became controversial for its radical reinterpretation of the character, which was now an iguana mutated by nuclear testing rather than a prehistoric reptile. The TriStar Godzilla also lacked some of the character's signature traits, such as his atomic breath and invulnerability to military weapons, and gained the ability to asexually reproduce. The second Hollywood adaptation of the franchise, Godzilla, was produced in 2014 by Legendary Pictures, and featured a more traditional interpretation of the titular monster.
Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?
A monstrous 10/10
5 out of 10 because of the newer version of Godzilla. I understand this was back in the day and we didn't have the technology we have right now but this is my honest opinion.
This was ok but that version (1998) just wasn’t giving scaryzilla. I’d give it a 5
If you have any issues with Godzilla I'd have to say that's on you and that's your issue...
8 out of 10 would be nice if you could put the title somewhere.
This is the best Godzilla movie out there! Go ZILLA!!
Ah, Godzilla 1998.
He may not be a true Godzilla, but he (and Zilla Jr. from the animated series) hold a special place in my heart.

The best thing that ever came of this movie was the Animated Series sequel
Awesome 😎 movie
Tristar Godzilla is a giant Irradiated Marine Iguana, truly a lizard.
And you're telling me, that NO ONE peed his pants...or worse !? C'mon !!! I may be French, but I'm not stupid.
Jira is canon to Toho Gojira Final Wars

Because Godzilla isn't a T-Rex. Movie actually wasn't that bad but hated the new look

@@ebayrose What does a copy and paste quick comparison between the two American Godzilla films have to do with anything that was said
An earthquake. Only US knows how to demolish this earthquake
Zilla*
This is not Godzilla
This was Godzilla in 1998
Totally agree, what was Roland Emmerich thinking, totally changing the look, can't wait to see Godzilla Minus One,the way he supposed to look and be
Then, it’ll do until the real ‘Zilla gets here!
