Godzilla (1998)

 Godzilla is a 1998 American action science fiction film directed and co-written by Roland Emmerich and starring Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno, Maria Pitillo and Hank Azaria. It is loosely based on the Japanese Godzilla franchise and is a re-imagining of the 1954 Japanese film of the same name. The primary target group for this film is teenagers. The most interesting aspects of the film was seeing a large monster roam through the city of New York. The only I ever time I saw anything like this was in Jurassic park 2 when the T-Rex got lose in San Diego. The plot was kind of dull in my opinion. The only time the intensity seemed to rise was when the taxi cab was getting chased by Godzilla and through the city and onto the bridge. The original Godzilla was a metaphor for nuclear destruction but no one is sure what this new America Godzilla film is about. If I had to guess it’s about Animal vs. Technology and the movie makes it looks like technology wins.
