    Dedicated to Tomoyuki Tanaka (1910-1997), who produced the 1954 original and sequels, the Devlin/Emmerich interpretation displays a redesign of Godzilla, now a large lizard mutated after fallout from French nuclear tests. A blinding flash of white light fills the Eastern sky. Thousands of miles away, the Pacific Ocean churns, engulfing a freighter. On another part of the globe, giant footsteps plow a path through miles of Panamanian forests, Tahitian villages, and Jamaican beaches. In the Ukraine, biologist Dr. Niko Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick), with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is examining the impact of radiation on Chernobyl earthworms. Colonel Hicks (Kevin Dunn) and a military team escort Niko to check out giant claw marks on the beached freighter; they're joined by paleontologists Elsie Chapman (Vicki Lewis) and Mendel Craven (Malcolm Danare). Blood and giant-size footprints indicate "some sort of enormous reptile." French secret agent Philippe Roache talks to the freighter's only survivor, who keeps repeating, "Gojira...Gojira." Tatopoulos et al arrive in Manhattan's Fulton Fish Market where Godzilla surfaces, moving on to the NYC financial district where Mayor Ebert (Michael Lerner) is speaking. Ambitious Audrey Timmonds (Maria Pitillo), who works for TV news anchor Charles Caiman (Harry Shearer), is Niko's former girlfriend, and she uses this to her professional advantage. As the wave of destruction continues, Niko and Roache track the creature through the evacuated city and discover Godzilla's eggs about to hatch in Madison Square Garden. They are followed by Audrey and TV cameraman Victor "Animal" Palotti (Hank Azaria), and soon the hatching Godzilla offspring prowl the Garden corridors, leading to a final showdown.

    September 09, 2009: Many have reviled this film but it better than the Godzilla sequels (except Godzilla 1985). It was not the best monster film & I'm surprised Japan permitted TriStar to make it. The only decent acting was done by Jean Reno & the actors portraying the U.S. military. Loved the actors spoofing Siskle & Ebert: very funny. The creature should not have been called Godzilla. It looked gay & pathetic. Making it asexual was stupid. Up to that point the movie was great. The most moronic part was Godzilla chasing a taxi. He wrecked a Japanese freighter & smashed thru buildings yet he couldn't catch one lousy taxi! It would have been cool to see a sequel perhaps with him fighting a revised Smog Monster. The best in the Godzilla series is the 1954 original (Gojira).

    October 17, 2008: The movie really was not that bad. BUT! They should have given this monster some other name because Godzilla is not this creature! Cool looking though. I gave it a 2nd try and this is my final Rating for it. I stand by what I put!

    PS watch this giant lizard get whooped by the real Godzilla in... Godzilla: Final wars

    I Also Recommend: Gojira: Fainaru uôzu.
