"Godzilla" was a movie I was expecting to be really great. After "Independence Day" (the BEST film of its kind, in my opinion) I began to look at Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin as two of the best up-and-comers in their genre. Then I read where they have somehow decided to take the drama element out of their scripts. I'm sorry, fellas, but it was the drama of your earlier movies that made them so great and different. It was the characters that you actually can relate to and care about. In "Godzilla" there is nothing to grasp onto. No dimensions. Not even a slight sense of realism.
Let's see if I can sum up this lazy, size-is-everything movie. There's a boyfriend who is a really bad actor who likes a blond girl who is an even worse actress who has a couple of annoying friends that just kind of stand around and try to make the audience laugh. There's a hunter guy with an accent who really looks like he can lend a lot to the situation until the action actually begins after which he really doesn't do much of anything. There's a played-for-laughs mayor who also tries to slay the audience with his humor and fails. Oh, yeah, there's a really, really big lizard, too.
So, that about sums it up. You have no reason to subject yourself to this horrible mess of a movie now. Save yourself the money and self-respect. Rent "Independence Day" and pray Roland and Dean come back to their senses.
