Reviews for Godzilla
A great lumbering beast that has no personality, has size but no power.
This is the view from the end of the world -- we look on the smoking ruin of Manhattan and shrug and eat our popcorn.
Godzilla ... is so poorly written and so un-original that it makes Independence Day sound like Shakespeare.
If only one could fast-forward past the idiot characters to the parts where the creature nests in Madison Square Garden, crushes Fifth Avenue and chomps a taxicab.
