Vakító fehér fény hasítja át az eget Francia Polinézia szigetei fölött. A Csendes-óceánon pusztító vihar tombol. Óriás lábnyomok szántják fel a földet Panama erdőségeiben. Az ismeretlen pusztító erő akadálytalanul folytatja útját egy kis sűrűn lakott szig A világméretű rombolás okozója hamarosan megjelenik New Yorkban. A városban kitör a pánik. A hadsereg mozgósítja csapatait, de nem tudják felvenni a harcot a fékezhetetlen szörnyeteggel. Dr. Nick Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick) és egy különös francia, Philippe Roache (Jean Reno) közös erővel igyekeznek megfejteni az irtózatos méretű lény rejtélyét, és megállítani a pusztítást, amíg még nem késő.

Mindenféle gyíkokról szóló tucatnyi régebbi filmből összekevert, igénytelen szórakozás íztelen-sótlan koktélja. Matthew Broderick a főszerepben nagyon lapos, Maria Pitillo egy hangos hisztérika, és egy kisebb felhőkarcoló magasságú nukleáris gyík pedig a New York-i metró szűk alagútjaiban egyetlen rázkódás vagy zaj nélkül mozog. Miért adok három csillagot a Godzilla filmnek? Mert ez átlag, egy és öt csillag között. Egyet a Roland Emmerich / Dean Devlin páros, ötöt pedig a vizuális effektusok mesterei kaptak. És a könnyed Jean Reno miatt is. Azzal indokolja részvételét ebben a bukásban, hogy felelősséget érez a hazája által Francia Polinézia térségében végrehajtott nukleáris kísérleti robbantásokért.

It's big, it's stupid, Roland Emmerich filmed it. No, I didn't pick that guy out, I didn't know who filmed it at first, but when I looked at this gentleman's filmography, everything was clear to me. What I don't know is how someone can spend that kind of money to promote a film in which "it's going to be big and it's going to stomp everything and sell like a plastic figurine on Uncle Donald's menu," was probably written in the script. Why Jean Reno plays in such a wretched role is a mystery to me, but then again, everyone needs to make a living... This Hollywood direction of "a lot of effects, not enough story" is an atrocity that I will avoid in the future. At least Peter Jackson and his King Kong will set a new standard. Roland, dear boy, you don’t have that much of a lack of talent to be funny like Ed Wood... You have a deficiency that bothers.

Spectacularly served pathos, full of awkwardness, traditionally Emmerich overwrought running time and embodied mediocrity. The latex Gojira in the cardboard sets has much more charm than this nicely rendered sterility. ♫ Song OST rating: 2/5

Emmerich is a megalomaniac and I must admit that I rather enjoy watching his destruction of our Mother Earth. Because this usually concerns the USA (very satisfying), and this time round more precisely it was New York where he let that famous lizard reap havoc. But what is the point of all that destruction and breathtaking special effects if the picture doesn’t come out with anything new? Nick Tatopoulos is the spitting image of Daniel Jackson from Emmerich’s previous work, Stargate, and we even come across O'Neill here, now demoted to sergeant, but I think you know what I’m getting at. And it’s the same with the entire story which, despite being nice to look at, continues in the same old rut that we have seen a million times before. So, thanks to the excellent special effects and Jean Reno, Godzilla is a relaxing movie where you can see another of Emmerich’s many ways of “How to Destroy America". Nothing more, nothing less. And what about the end? I’m sincerely intrigued to see if anybody lets themselves be talked into filming Godzilla 2. They should jump at the opportunity. Or rather not? ;)

Godzilla is a hit, but a slightly questionable one. It can never be taken seriously, even a little bit. Unfortunately, sometimes it seems that way (the music, the script), but if you consider the cast and the overall atmosphere, it is clear that they all had a great time on set. Technically, it is very variable, with almost perfect static shots of Godzilla in the city alternated with striking computer-generated scenes of fast chases between skyscrapers. Logically, the movie is very silly (Godzilla moving in underground tunnels?), but as an entertaining break and a showcase of all possible and impossible effects, why not? Is not that often that you see a devastated Manhattan. Roland Emmerich wanted to entertain, not frighten.

I don't know if the film has matured, or if I have, either way, whatever qualms I had with Emmerich's Godzilla are gone. It's an excellent disaster comedy with consistently impressive visual effects that can be compared to Independence Day without exaggeration, thanks in part to Arnold's excellent score.

Godzilla is a B-movie brainchild to such an extent that the measure of its success is no longer the age-old sympathy directed towards the fascination with something monstrously powerful and seemingly invincible, but only Emmerich's traditional faith in a wide audience with a tolerance for a film that's silly and also disrespectful to its predecessors that looks so cool regardless that we'll go see it anyway, and the German demolition man knows how to do that like few others. His vision of a clash between a heroic (but surprisingly stupid) American army and a gloriously overgrown lizard, however endearingly illogical and ridiculously megalomaniacal, really does seem like a dream come true for most little boys, who at the word Godzilla imagine just as much destruction and trampled-down goons in uniform as Mr. Emmerich "sacrificed" for the film. Moreover, it's all terribly suited to the targeted humour and Jean Reno in particular, whose character eventually becomes a very iconic figure. Anyone who didn’t have fun with the superbly edited and choreographed car-Godzilla chase is not normal. In the past, enthusiasm, today, and taking into account Edwards’s epic remake, just a little harmless joy... 3 and 1/2*

I actually enjoy Emmerich's much-maligned "Zilla." As a kid, I was obsessed with this film, and even though that obsession has waned, it's still a fun kaiju flick I like to revisit every now and then. Despite the long runtime, the movie moves along well, with an engaging plot, decent effects, and likable characters. It's the perfect movie for a laid-back Sunday afternoon. No brainpower required.

Roland Emmerich's penchant for monstrous effects in films without any stable meaningful plot was already evident here with Godzilla. This movie is actually a lot of scenes that were done to suit the director regardless of whether or not they make sense. Virtually all of Godzilla is about decent visual and sound effects with enjoyable music. That's all I can see! The script and the actors ... let's be honest, this is not how solid movies should be. Perhaps the only excuse is that it was a blockbuster that eventually flopped so badly that no further sequels could be made. Too bad, the ending was really a gateway to the next installment. In short, a technically proficient film, but artistically rather bland. I still watch it once a year, though.

Roland Emmerich disregards the basic rule of kaiju films and immediately presents us with the monster in the first few minutes. He loses out on a strong weapon this way, which unfortunately falters over time, even with moments that are quite intense. This could still be overlooked if it weren't just nonsense with a big monster, where most scenes don't make much sense and are piled on top of each other just because of the writers. Godzilla from 2014 isn't brilliant, but it understands the genre much better and updates it for the modern era.
