I really enjoyed this movie. I have great memories watching it.


I really enjoyed this movie. I have great memories watching it at the theater.

First of all, I didn't know nothing about the original movie. I have to confess I don't know even today.

Just that day in 1998, had to wait for my father who was near the theater, so I decided to watch a movie. When I saw the poster of Godzilla I remembered that I had seen the music video of the film, where there seemed to be an earthquake and immediately caught my attention. The film had already started, so I did not know I had lost so much. When I finish the film I was feeling and desire to have a second part because at the end is a baby Godzilla alive. As in the theater was old and had only one room and the next feature was the same movie, I decided to stay to see the part that I missed, anyway had time, but then it was time to meet my father. Although I had a great desire to continue watching the movie.

Then the years passed and still going on, but every time I see the movie on TV the good memories re-emerge. Even until today after the film ends still hankering to see a sequel.

Maybe I really have no idea how to be a good movie, but the only thing I am sure of is that this movie entertained me, really have to say that I liked.

Now when I read some comments it saddens me something that made me so happy was because of disappointment for many. They even say that the actress who played the role of Audrey ruin his career for this film, but really I have to say that I love her in her role.

At the end, one can only say the famous phrase: "let's agree to disagree"

P.S. It is quite possible that as I knew almost nothing of the original version and when I saw the film could not be in a better mood, is the reason that I liked so much.

And sorry for my english :D

I will always defend this film. It was a big part of my childhood. I remember all the hype very well. It was everywhere. I had every toy, book, magazine. Everything.
It always saddened me the hate it got.
I still think this movie is better than the 2014 reboot.

Thanks for the reply :D I think the same about the 2014 reboot too..

No problem.
The 2014 film utterly forgettable to me. It left me cold.

Not to worry, it's my favorite version. And I've seen all of them. This one is just more fun to watch. The 2014 version is good and I watch it too. But it's more serious.

I got great memories too! It's definitely better than the crappy new Godzilla that looks like a fat man in a suit! 

This movie really was one of the best. It was meant to be entertaining, which it really was. I've seen parts of the Japanese Godzilla movies, they're not that good. I don't know why people make such a big deal out of them

Last time I saw this I was like 8. Starz had it on just now, and it lived up to the nostalgia. Not a bad movie at all despite what people say.

I'm a long time Godzilla fan (can't you tell by my screen name) and I have always loved the 1998 movie. I love all Godzilla movies actually. I do like the 2014 version too but the 1998 movie is just much more fun to watch.
