Comments on Godzilla
Good enough take on Japan's most famous monster, though he's not
as lovable as the all-action hero who's basically a good guy.
This Godzilla is very naughty and loves to destroy. - Paul
Rance.

Amazon.co.uk Godzilla Review
As "gigantic monster reptile attacks New York" movies
go, you've got to admit that Godzilla delivers the goods,
although its critical drubbing and box-office disappointment were
arguably deserved. It's a shameless, uninspired crowd-pleaser
that's content to serve up familiar action with the advantage of
really fantastic special effects, and if you expect nothing more
you'll be one among millions of satisfied customers. There's
really no other way to approach it--you just have to accept the
fact that Independence Day creators Roland Emmerich and
Dean Devlin are unapologetic plagiarists, incapable of anything
more than mindless spectacle that can play in any cinema in the
world without dubbing or subtitles. The whole movie plays out
like a series of highlights stolen from previous blockbusters of
the 1990s; it's little more than a rehash of the Jurassic Park
movies. The derivative script is so trivial that it's unworthy of
comment, apart from a few choice laughs and the casting of
Michael Lerner as New York's mayor, whose name is Ebert and who
closely resembles a certain well-known movie critic. Perhaps
that's a clever hint that this movie's essentially critic-proof.
It's stupid but it's fun, and for most audiences that's a fitting
definition of mainstream Hollywood entertainment. --Jeff
Shannon --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.
