When this one first came out, people RIOTED. And not in the good way either. They all said, "This isn't like the original Godzilla! This is trash! Bleh!" And they may be right. But...
Why would that even matter?
Godzilla 1998 is not a great movie, that is true. But when it comes to pure entertainment, it holds up pretty damn well. It's got action. A bit of comedy. Romance. Okay, maybe not romance, but it's got a ton of action. I mean, it's kinda fun seeing "Godzilla" (i'm putting quotes here because people like to argue whether the monster here can be considered a Godzilla or not) rampage through the city. Maybe it's just me.
If you play this movie expecting to see something on the lines of The Shawshank Redemption, you'll be pretty disappointed. But if you want 2 nonstop hours of exhilarating monster-movie action, then Godzilla 1998 is the movie for you!
(or you can just watch the 2014 one, that's good too...)
