How could they do this to the king of monsters?
TOHO did approve of the design for Godzilla, so if it was just for the money or some other reason, THEY DID APPROVE THE "ZILLA" DESIGN, so please stop blaming everything on Tri Star and Tatopolous.
How could they get Roland Emmerich to direct this?
Emmerich was in the heels of the ginormous ID4 and there was no way that the formula (Giant Mutated Lizard, City Destruction, Event Movie, Ronald Emmerich) could not work.....
Say what you want about the movie, but Emmerich has a talented eye for depicting amazing disaster scenes that few directors have. The other stuff, well I aint arguing it neither I will claim he can direct a masterpiece, even tho The Patriot, with all its historical inaccuracies is a pretty good movie overall.
Anyways, when Godzilla 1998 was teased at theaters, it had the most amazing look and feel to it.
And the most important question of all: WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE BOTTOM 100?!?!?!
Cause most people, aside from die hard, blind fans of "Godzilla"(in any form of the ridiculous adaptations that came after the 1954 masterpiece), can see the movie for what is was, a product of the 90's that delivered on what it promised. Giant Lizard vs Military mayhem... The movie is well shot, had amazing XFX for the time and even tho the pace in the 3rd act was horrible, it was a fun ride to take in a movie theater (not in a laptop with a torrent copy) with an audience. Not the best but not as bad as some fanboys make it seem to be.
