I first saw Godzilla(1998) back on May 20, 1998 at a nearby theater. I was really fired up entering the theater. After watching it I was greatly disappointed. I also dreaded the fan backlash I knew was coming. This movie was absolutely villified in G-Fan Magazine. Richard Pusateri a short while later coined the phrase "GINO", an acronym for "Godzilla In Name Only", which is still used by Godzilla fans, and non-fans alike, to describe the monster from this 1998 film. My criticism of the monster, like so many others, is that the beast was too much animal, and not enough monster. I also thought the overall design of Zilla made the creature too reptilian and, again, not enough monster. I can enjoy watching the 1998 film periodically, say once a year. I'm not a tough film critic, and I can be fairly easily entertained, perhaps because I like all giant monster movies, to varying degrees of course. It will be interesting to see which Godzilla films make it to HD-DVD and or Blu-Ray. I would love to see all of them in this format, but since I doubt that will happen here are the first few, maybe the only few(  ) that I believe will make it to this format:Godzilla(1998) Godzilla 2000(1999) Godzilla, Mothra & King Ghidorah: All-Out Monsters Attack(2001) |
