Godzilla

Godzilla; The mother of all monsters gets the Hollywood treatment, and once again Hollywood proves it can ruin almost anything with its formulaic take on anything. We end up watching a cross between Jurassic Park and Independence Day without a hint of something new or original (not that ID4 had any to begin with). The characters are totally underdeveloped, despite Broderick and Reno's valiant attempts. The Siskel and Ebert characters are the sole source of enjoyment in a film that fails to surprise at any time. It is so annoying to watch countless crane shots zoom in on the human as he stands frozen in the sight of Godzilla. The destruction scenes aren't even of interest. In fact this film offers very little, just some cheap thrills. Not worth seeing again; C-
