Was Godzilla (1998) simply too kino for modern audiences to understand?

No, it's pretty terrible after the halfway mark. It actually had a pretty decent build up, but once it becomes about Godzilla laying eggs and eating fish it's shit. The design also isn't that great. Still better than the the 2014 movie.

Good movie, but it wasn't godzilla. Literal only reason it flopped.

i watched this movie about a hundred times when i was a kid because it was the only dvd we had

I used to watch the VHS every day after coming back from school

I actually liked the design. I had no knowledge of godzilla before this. I like the sleek, lizardlike design. Classic godzilla looks slow and sluggish.

>Still better than the the 2014 movie.
They're both equally shit, and pretty much the same thing anyway. Both are just generic big budget American disaster movies with Godzilla shoehorned into them.

Also the Jamiroquai video was great. P. Diddy's song on the otherhand sucked. Why did they have two songs for one movie anyways?

The 2014 is far shittier, because it's only good when Cranston's on screen, and that's like the first 30 minutes of the movie. Once the kaiju start showing up and it focuses on the son it's terrible non-stop. The 90s version's biggest sin is the treatment of Godzilla as just a dumb lizard monster, because it's otherwise a fairly decent monster movie, and you're still entertained by the human characters and their storylines and shit like Jean Reno doing a John Wayne impersonation while chewing gum.

>Literal only reason it flopped.
Not really.

hey kill yourself nigger

The cartoon sequel was also great. Godzilla is retarded anyway, they made a good decision not to follow the dumb Japanese version.

Jean Reno saved that movie.

It's a terrible Godzilla design but I like how it has evolved into it's own Kaiju as Zilla. While yeah, it is used as a weak road block at most in certain stories, it is still nice that it is a new monster for writers to play around with.

It was silly and fun, but in the schlocky sense. It's fun to watch with some mates and a few beers, so long as nobody tries to take it seriously.

Slow and sluggish, yes. Also, a powerhouse that can take licking and keep on ticking. Zilla is taken out by Four(4) missiles.

Remember when the hundred story tall lizard managed to hide from and sneak up on a helicopter in the middle of New York City?

The all out balls to the wall marketing was great in a cringe way, the movie was fucking awful and mathew broderick ruins everything he's near.

Here's your complimentary shitty movie tie-in rap song: m.youtube.com/watch?v=vrSyrOaoAug

You watch a movie with a 100 ft. lizard and this is the thing that bothers you?

Yes.

Suicidal hubris, a weakness in all movie studio executives.

That t-rex skeleton is embarrassingly wrong

it's floppily erected

Paws to big and skull too small?

That's a lotta fish.

IM GOIN DEEPER UNDERGROUND

The entire French CIA subplot is pure kino

it really was

are you me?

Hold the fucking phone, jamiroquis wasn't black? I swear i remember he was a black dude in a big beanie hat dancing around like a homo singing with a jamaican accent.

It was hyped to shit at the time because I assume everyone was expecting another independence day from Roland. But then they got discount Jurassic park instead.

That being said.

>Kino Action Scenes
>Great Soundtrack
>Jean Reno

Only virgins expecting a mirror to the Japanese originals were mad

He makes movies for Normies and normies could give less of a fuck what Godzilla looks like. Look at the new shit that came out recently. They make shit at the bo.
