hmm..... Cubs won.

[MrJackal95]

I don't give a crap about what people say, I liked this movie! I felt it was hell of a lot better than the japanese ones, and the monster is just simply awesome, which is why this version will always be my personal favorite movie monster ever.

[AMCMovieQuest]

size...does....matter...yes it does ;)

[GORIZARD5]

Too bad Sony didn't live up to their promise and deliver a good faithful Godzilla movie. Instead we got a movie that was more of a remake to the Beast From 20,000 Fathoms

[SpidermanPro]

The problem this movie had, was that it set it's expectations way to high to achieve. The movie isn't bad, I'd watch it on a rainy day.

[XxComablackxX1937]

@SpidermanPro

No, The problem is that they called it ''Godzilla'' an it wast that what killed the entire movie with Critic's an fans.

The changed his entire design, Took away his Iconic Roar, his atomic breath, invincibility, an he had no rival to fight.

As a stand alone movie as u said it is ''alright at best'' as a Godzilla movie it blows worse then Jaws 3 an 4.

I hope in the ''American Reboot of Godzilla'' coming from Legendary Pictures will deliever what this movie should have been

[SpidermanPro]

@XxComablackxX1937 what evah :P

[seanteezzyy123]

@XxComablackxX1937 watch godzilla the series and tell me what you think

[XxComablackxX1937]

@seanteezzyy123

I have seen ''Godzilla: The Series'' while it is loads times better then the film it still isn't Godzilla.

They changed the design way to much an the attitude an spirit of the Original Godzilla are still missing.

No doubt the series are entertaining, but Godzilla is a giant behemoth, unstoppable by any know weapon, Deep Roar, up-right figure, n invincible.

I will always see this creature as ''Zilla'' I hope the American Reboot by Legendary does him justice coming in 2014

[seanteezzyy123]

@XxComablackxX1937 im not going to get my hopes up about that because it might turn out like the 98 flim

[a2ilool]

technogly can't stop him how come fighter jets killed him then

[TheVampfan77]

I liked the zilla movie haha I thought it was enjoyable. Not as good as Godzilla but enjoyable. Godzilla 2000 really spat in Zilla's face though haha.

[RudySpino]

You dont need to say: "Hey isnt this funny"... Explain: "Thats a lot of fish!"

[rbmadd]

ah memories :)

[iLuis08]

Roland is better with global disaster movies than monster movies.

[kaijutube]

@iLuis08 true but if only i can go back in time and tell roland to rename the movie the beast from 20,000 fathoms.

[GoVNO1998]

The toho godzilla sucks,they use toys in the 21st century ,TOOOOOOYS!!!!!!!!!

[DinoGeekProductions]

@GoVNO1998 The folks at Toho used plaster and plywood, sculpted up to close to (I'm estimating) maybe 11 foot per building. Plaster and plywood (among other things), by the way, were the same materials used to make the exploding buildings in Independence Day. The suits were a few hundred pounds of latex and were robotically assisted, ROBOTICALLY ASSISTED SUITS!!!!! You're perfectly welcome to hate the Toho movies, that's your opinion, but do some research before you make your claims, okay?

[asouthworth05]

@GoVNO1998 they did not use toys they used rubber suits.

[ShadoControl]

@Johny2662

Go to Amazon Books and type in KKXG.  Thanks for your comments.

[Johny2662]

From what we can learn from this is it is our first time as Americans seeing Godzilla. It is not the original but a modern version. We know he isn't the original, he's a modern version. And as for the name, he's known as Zilla instead. But we still call him Godzilla cuz' he's our Godzilla and the first we encounter that has the same roar as the original. Who cares about size? Zilla's my fav. They planned a sequel? I want to see it! Ah well, we got the series where Zilla Jr. is in. watch it!

[ShadoControl]

@Johny2662

Actually the first time Americans saw "Godzilla" was in 1956. America named the "thing" from Japan "Godzilla" and Toho Co. Ltd. stole the name in 1962.  The name "Zilla" for the '98 Godzilla is a Japanese way of trying to take the "Go" (the respect for a God) away from the American version. Well, I have news for the Japanese.......the beast in New York is a God and the Japanese Godzilla is a downer.

[Johny2662]

@ShadoControl ...Why do you say that? I mean we hear people being critical about Zilla the downer and Godzilla the real deal.

[ShadoControl]

@Johny2662

Because those that are critical of the 1998 US version of Godzilla, the actual name, do not have juris doctorates, or studied law to get one, and therefore their premise is incorrect which results in conceived, distorted opinions. Make note these opinions are American opinions. God forbid they were Japanese opinions without the right for a rebuttal. Thanks.

[seanteezzyy123]

@ShadoControl i agree with you at least there are still zilla fans out there

[seanteezzyy123]

@Johny2662 i love zilla too!!!! and there was suposse to be a sequel to the 1998 flim, but due to the neg. feedback they didnt do it. thas why godzilla the series came out to where we meet zilla jr

[Johny2662]

@seanteezzyy123 Yeah and you know, that series was a better idea since cartoons are ageless and less expensive and the son is born and fights all monsters like it is traditional. If only there would be movie series based on the cartoon.

[seanteezzyy123]

@Johny2662 i agree 200 percent with you, Godzilla(zilla jr). is every bit of the old godzilla the only different is he dont look like him, and their creature name was gojira the Amercains called the creature Godzilla toyko ppl stole the name for themselves, so they can not change our godzilla name

[multiversalpictures]

dont you get it? dean delvin just explained the movie. they didn't want to be disrespectful by fucking up the old godzilla by making a new one. besides, does the fucking name have any thing to do with the quality of a movie?i mean come on, and the dialog was not cheseier than the old ones, i mean in one godzilla movie they said he had 2 brains. wtf? besides, there was supposed to be 2 sequels. maybe the godzilla in the sequels would come back more powerful and have fire breath and fight monsters

[ShadoControl]

@multiversalpictures

I'm shopping that script and the novel "KKXG" is on Amazon. Thanks!

[seanteezzyy123]

@multiversalpictures godzilla the series is actually the sequel to the 98 flim

[seanteezzyy123]

@multiversalpictures thank yu for saying ths

[sangwria]

shush

[rafee231997]

For me godzilla movie is the best but Japanese godzilla is sucks

[aznricekracker]

I agree with you otherwise. Tristar did exactly what they were supposed to do--remake the character for a Western audience. Their representation fit cultural trends. Financially, they did the right thing.

Toho screwed up by attempting to continue milking the old franchise--none of the Milennium films made any significant returns. Other daikaiju films, such as Gamera and Monster X have also been big flops in Japan. But the US is getting into the act with "Transformers" and "Cloverfield."

[XxComablackxX1937]

It's a decent ''Monster movie'' but a Shit ''Godzilla movie'' the dialog was cheesier then the early japanese films.

With 130$ million budget you mean to tell me we couldnt have gotten better material?

Godzilla isnt meant to be realisitic, They changed him to much. If half of hollywoods films were ''realistic'' we wouldnt have half the shit out now-a-days.

Why they did it to Godzilla is beyond me.

Keep the japanese Godzilla image or else leave Godzilla to the Japanese. I love godzilla tho

[ShadoControl]

What's more important was the amount of time the TriStar producers took to get the rights to just use the "name" Godzilla, no matter what the creature looked like, or how good (or bad) the script was. The CNBC article after the trailer is a very important lesson. LOL

[RaycxellTorres]

smarter&stronger?the original Godzilla was indestructable,ther U.S. version got killed by the army.idiots

[CarlZeissJenaTV]

Good Movie but not a real Godzilla Movie!

[Dragzilla66]

Movie sucks but the Monster looks cool!

[Mudig]

How are the Japanese films not just dumb fun? Give me a break.

[Teamdbrockets]

Very nice!

i love this video.

[Jurassicparkrules96]

GODZILLA IS NOT A LIZARD!

[Gamewhiz321]

to Dean and Rob:yeah thats why toho studios killed Your monster in the last movie!

[multiversalpictures]

@Gamewhiz321 of course they gong to kill him. besides who cares, it is a movie, the fate of the world dosen't depend on it.

[Vinstimig]

Zilla was supposed to fight another monster at New York but Toho didn't like it, Toho offered Mothra and King Ghidorah to be Zilla's opponent but they refused both for budget problems or something like that.

[ShadoControl]

Not true. Once the rights to use Godzilla for Godzilla 1998 were obtained, the script was mutually exclusive. No rights were obtained to use any other character owned by Toho. However, you are correct in the fact, G'98 had four (4) script writers and practically two (2) separate stories, from the big lizard, to all of a sudden a bundle of clones of the lizard.

SHADO CONTROL

[animal90sFreak5]

zeah as much as i like the old japan godzilla movies,when I saw this as a kidit was cool as heck and it still isn't that bad,hank Azaria and Matthew broderick are great as usual in here,still a good movie too!

[winningcirclemedia]

I liked the movie,but uh, they went too far changing his shape so much. they may had been better off calling it something else. it didnt live up to the might Godzilla represents.

[DrKaiju2000]

The kaiju movie that made me a g-fan

[maeyako]

I hadn't realized technology and fashion STILL sucked up until the late 90s.... wow... boy do I feel stupid...

[Aaronjs2468]

In my opinion, I think Godzilla that Roland Emmerich made is just dumb fun. I like it because it is just stupid fun. I agree though that the Japanese films are better.

[lenzgerm]

I think Dean Said it all in the end, so a big screw you, to everyone who bashed this movie and didint allow it to expand.

[Gyaos23]

Fantastic news and information! They brought the idea to Toho in 1989? 9 YEARS TO MAKE? Wow.
