French nuclear tests irradiate an iguana into a giant monster that viciously attacks freighter ships in the Pacific Ocean. A team of experts, including Niko Tatopoulos, conclude that the oversized reptile is the culprit. Before long, the giant lizard is loose in Manhattan as the US military races to destroy the monster before it reproduces and it's spawn takes over the world.

Godzilla It seems like a parody of the Jurassic Park and that too not funny or in a good way; it's a no go from the first frame to the last even though they may try to make it convoluted, it is not.

I will admit that while this film isn't that great, in fact it is bad, it's a lot better than people make it out to be. I mean I can see why people hated the Godzilla in it, I mean he looks sort of silly. I can also see why people would hate the fact that there is next to no character development in it. But in some cases, not many though, I thought there was a sort of clever moment. Or something funny like the line 'that's a lot of fish'. I also thought the effects were sort of decent. Far better than some other effects of movies that I have seen recently. So that deserves some points. The film is more boring than bad in my eyes. I never really saw it as bad but I was pretty bored throughout most of it. I will admit and I feel like I will be one of the few to say this but I thought that Matthew Brodreick (sorry if I misspell the last name) actually put up a decent enough performance. Enough to where I can feel some moments were he did a good job. Overall, still a bad movie but some parts and things that I liked. So I will give this a three out of ten

This is a movie I've seen many times, and honestly I don't know why so many people hated it. - Just because the idiots at Toho didn't like it instead calling it "zilla" (because it doesn't apparently deserve to have the word "God" in it's name; they expect the entire world to bow to them.This Godzilla film made a hell of a lot more sense than that piece of crap released in 2014, the one everyone loved with the stupid acting and where the title character spent less than ten minutes on screen, I couldn't even watch that entire movie in one sitting, it was that boring! Compared to that tripe this movie is a pleasure to watch! So it had some bad acting in it, but it's still very watchable.The idea that Godzilla is a mutated lizard caused by French nuclear testing in the Pacific is far more believable than Godzilla being some creature from eons past "when the world was ten times more radioactive" as portrayed in that pathetic 2014 movie, the 1998 Godzilla belongs in my movie library, the 'new' Godzilla belongs at the bottom of my trash can...

Follows more or less traditional pattern of monster movie. Enbjoyable even though you know the good guys (we humans) will win out in the end, and the romantic aspect will be resolved suitably. Good-natured poking fun at a lost of familiar targets. A bit too long, in my opinion, but not for fans of the genre. Last scene with new monster being hatched there, i suppose, to allow for sequel, but still a kind of he (it)-who- laughs last laughs.
