I have to start this off by saying that I don't know anything about Godzilla. I've never seen any of the older movies made, but I'm sure they are better than this.

This movie seemed more like an amusement park action ride than it did a movie. I felt like I should be sitting in a moving chair with surround sound. However, I didn't feel the action was very well done for the movie. Godzilla and all of his babies were completely CGI. For when the movie came out, the CGI is good, but its not perfect. I felt like the movie was not consistent. For example, Godzilla was outrunning fighter jets in the beginning of the film, but towards the end of the film he had trouble catching a taxi cab. Another weird thing was the baby reptiles. They were supposed to be extremely strong, but couldn't break a piece of wood holding a door shut? I'm also pretty sure that they could outrun a human.

It bothered me that Godzilla was assumed dead when there was nearly an hour of the movie left. This just seemed like a weird concept considering he is the monster in the movie, but this was also when the plot split, so I guess it made a little bit of sense. I was bothered that "the worm guy" seemed to know everything. I know you can use biology and relate animals to other animals, but it seemed a little ridiculous. There was also cleverly placed advertisements placed throughout the entire movie. Blockbuster, KFC, and Pepsi are a few you will see.

I'm not sure why they ended the movie the way they did either. They set it up for a sequel, but never bothered to make one. It's been 11 years since this film was released and I believe the company that has released this has lost the rights to Godzilla.

Final Words:
It is worth seeing once, but I can't see myself watching it again. It's a monster movie and you will get exactly what you are watching, but somehow I feel the older Godzilla movies will be a lot better than this one.
