	The Projectionist - Reviews for May 19, 1998
		Godzilla, a monster created by nuclear experiments, is their personification of the evil of nuclear weapons and the destruction they cause.
		Godzilla is pure evil in this film and, although obviously a man in a suit, makes for a pretty effective villain if one can suspend disbelief enough to allow for the sometimes cheesy puppet effects.
		The original Godzilla was, at least in his original incarnation, a truly evil creature motivated to destroy the humanity that caused his awakening.

	Godzilla Origins
		Nevertheless, the origin of Godzilla have slightly changed to reflect the evolution of the myth and the inspiration of the artists but the atomic power remains the key element of Godzilla power over more traditional dinosaurs like in Spielberg movies.
		After being seriously injured by American troops, Godzilla was left to die only to be mutated into a huge fire-breathing monster 10 years later by radiation from atomic tests in the Pacific.
		In some Godzilla films released in Germany before 1985, the storylines were altered so that many of Godzilla's opponents were either sent or created by Dr. Frankenstein.

	The DVD Journal: Godzilla (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Godzilla's further ability to outsmart the military, who the filmmakers clearly want us to regard as incompetent buffoons, makes me admire this radioactive reptile even more.
		Using the "tribble effect" MacGuffin of having the Godzilla creatures born pregnant is not compelling — instead, it's just a cheap excuse to avoid the larger ethical conflict of how scientists should deal with a new species when said species has just trod upon the New York Stock Exchange.
		But rather than knowing that Godzilla was waiting to re-emerge at the end of the film — and knowing he will be very, very pissed off — we learn of his resurrection along with the protagonists.

		The next step is of course to lure Godzilla to a pile of fish that would maybe feed a monster a twelfth his size that sits on a rock all day.
		Godzilla has a meaning in the Japanese films, a horror created by nuclear tests, but also a protector of Japan and loveable yet destructive.
		Godzilla was an unstoppable force, bulky ominous and more meaningful than a random monster attacking a city.

		Now that I've inspired a character in a Godzilla movie, all I really still desire is for several Ingmar Bergman characters to sit in a circle and read my reviews to one another in hushed tones.
		In "Godzilla," the worm expert is standing in a deep depression, and the camera pulls back to reveal that he is standing in a footprint.
		The primary audience for "Godzilla" is children and teenagers, and the filmmakers have given them a sterile exercise when they hunger for dreams.

	Filmtracks: Godzilla (David Arnold)
		Godzilla: (David Arnold) The Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich hit parade was in full force by 1998, with the filmmakers riding the fiscal and popular success from Independence Day and Stargate in the years prior.
		A terrible plot and extremely harsh ciritcal response to the film put a dent in Devlin and Emmerich's action film careers, and would be noted by film music fans as the end --at least for a while-- of the working relationship between the two filmmakers and their friend and composer David Arnold.
		The score for Godzilla didn't play as big a role in the film as all of the composers' prior efforts, and was drowned out by many of the sound effects and curious edits in the final product.

	Godzilla (1998)
		You see, after getting two climaxes, you get yet another one, in which Godzilla, who up to this point has been outsmarting the army at every turn, by running away, hiding, and when that failed, ambushing, and even using the humans' torpedoes against them, finally gets his.
		I will give the movie one thing, it was the first Godzilla film that I saw, and it did pique my curiosity just enough to make me want to see the "Real Godzilla", if only to see why such a silly movie could be based on a series of 22 movies.
		I'm sorry, but the original Godzilla was a symbol of the uncontrollable destruction caused by the atomic bomb, but this new one seems to be about Man Vs. Nature, and man wins.

	Godzilla (1998): Reviews
		Godzilla is so clumsily structured it feels as if it's two different movies stuck together with an absurd stomping finale glued onto the end.
		This Godzilla is lacking both the awesome spirit of the original and the sublime silliness of the more recent Toho outings.
		The makers of Godzilla obviously devoted so much manpower and time and energy and money to the admittedly fabulous special effects that they apparently had no budget left over for actors.

		"Godzilla" has but one huge flaw, the seemingly last-minute inclusion of the dumbest, sappiest, insipid love story since the doomed ship flick.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Godzilla (1998)
		Godzilla, despite being half-covered in darkness and rain for most of the film, is quite an impressive monster.
		Heck, even the Toho Godzilla has gone through multiple versions, seeing as how the Godzilla in Godzilla vs. Biollante can't possibly be the same Godzilla who fought the Smog Monster.
		Although this latest Godzilla movie is perhaps not the Big G's triumphant return to American cinema that fans had hoped, it is at least a return.

		For the purposes of GURPS Godzilla, is is assumed that the oxygen destroyer skeletonized the original (1954) Godzilla, but that enough cells were left that he regenerated over the next 30 years, and re-emerged in 1984.
		This Godzilla died in 1996, and was succeeded by Godzilla II.

		The most eagerly anticipated green-eyed monster of 1998 reared his ugly head not with the familiar radioactive roar, but a deafening yawn.
		The only real thrill the film has to offer is the spectacle of Godzilla crashing through the canyons of Manhattan while the Army destroys the city trying to stop him, but it quickly passes.
		Godzilla quandary while promising an endless string of sequels -- but the jealously guarded secret of Godzilla's new look is a huge disappointment: He's really just a pumped-up, computer-generated iguana, crossbred with JURASSIC PARK's T-Rex.

		The extra killed in his car when Godzilla first arrives in Manhattan was cast as a look-alike for J.D. Lees, editor of G-Fan magazine, because he cast disparaging remarks about the information that leaked out about the film prior to its release.
		The policeman seen during Godzilla's arrival is the same policeman (both played by same actor) seen suddenly leaving his patrol car in the middle of an intersection in Independence Day (1996).
		Patrick Tatopoulos, the Godzilla designer and supervisor, created a mechanically operated suit for the monster, as well as scale models, but in a 1998 interview, Volker Engel, the visual effects supervisor, estimated that less than ten percent of the effects shots featuring Godzilla used prosthetic and mechanical effects.

		Tri-Star, a subsidiary of Sony Pictures, acquired the rights to produce an American remake of Godzilla in the 90's, and the concept was kicked around Hollywood for a while until it ended up in the hands of the filmmaking team of producer Dean Devlin and director Roland Emmerich.
		In his review of this very movie, he insists on referring to the movie's main creature as "Godzilla", quote-unquote, and I have to agree.
		Godzilla himself, after all, is nothing but an overgrown version of the T. Rex, and there's even a scene late into the movie that feels like a sequence from Jurassic Park has been directly edited in.

		All right, so the lack of obviously dubbed dialogue hurts this film almost as much as the terrible performances by its human cast and the emotional and quasi-romantic subplots, but the film still remains something that has a very limited appeal of enjoyment.
		Since Godzilla has always had a cult following, and since the cult following has always talked about how Godzilla can be viewed as an allegory of post-World-War-II Japanese history, you can view the American Godzilla in the following frame of mind: Godzilla represents the final step of post-war Japan.
		In Godzilla, Japan has exported the terrible product that was the byproduct of hackneyed imagination and America's nuclear waste.
