I loved this move, than again i am not a fan of the original series of films but this one was my kind of flick.
A Mutant Lizard is unleashed upon the world after it is mutated to ginormous size through nuclear radiation caused by French Weapon testing. When the lizard enters New York you can guess there are problems. Causing enourmous amounts of damage to the city the Military is fixed on destroying it. But it wont go away. The creature lays eggs in the Madison Square Garden Complex and now its spawn threaten to spead into the streets of New York.
The main character played by Matthew Broderick is Dr. Nick Tatapoulus, a failing anthropologist who is contracted by the Government to find out what this thing is and where it came from. With the help of his Ex Girlfriend and The Men and Women of the US Army he sets out to stop the ultimate destruction.
The film is a new take on the Classic story and is in my opinion better. The orginal Godzilla was an alien that procted earth by destroying buildings? Sure he fights other giant monsters but thay cause less damage than he does. This film says he is a Mutated Lizard from the Galapagos Area and suggest the possibilty of Other Mutations.

It's one of my son's favorite movies. We've worn out the video tape, destroyed a disc and absolutely had to have another one. We've already watched it 5 times since it arrived a month ago. I'm more of "The Hours" type of movie watcher, but I love watching this one with my son. Action, monsters, chases, and pyrotechnics--it has it all. Oh yeah--- it's also a love story. Like I said, it has it all.
A good movie April 28, 2008
We usually only buy movies we are willing to watch over and over again. This is one of those movies.
 If you loved it, here's why everybody else didn't. April 17, 2008

It's hysterical how the 1 and 5 star reviews are nearly equal on this pile of trash. Not that I expect anything else, as I believe 85%+ of people are idiots. The even split simply means that all of the 15% as well as 2 out of 5 idiots found this film to be the garbage that it is. That means the 4 and 5 star rating are from the dumbest of the dumb. And if that means you, please stop apologizing for bad films by saying dumb things like 'it's a popcorn movie' (popcorn isn't stupid) and 'why look for deep meaning in a film with with a giant lizard?'. This only proves how little thought these viewers use. The original 'Gojira' film had the giant lizard, too, and the whole story was an alegory on the threat of nuclear weapons. This one is an alegory on P.T.Barnum's most famous phrase (look it up). There is no reason an effects-laden action film can't also have some thought involved. Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich are overpaid putzes producing 'junk movies' for the braindead that walk among us. Lowest common denominator product. The rest of us expect more for our $10. This one insults you right to your face, and you thank them for it?
