Seriously...have you seen Godzilla (1998)???

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2008)

I can't believe the negative reviews that I've been reading about this film. It seems that you either really love it or really hate it. Well...I loved it. And I gotta be honest, I don't see (other than if you get motion sickness) how anyone who likes scary, sci-fi flicks wouldn't really like this film. It gives you characters to care about, it's got a monster that is trashing New York, and it's got great special effects. What more can you want?
Oh yeah...maybe someone strapped to a chair being tortured to death? Or possibly we should have SEEN all of the victims being eaten by the monsters. Oh yeah...that would have made it better. Oh...and what about the female leads? No nudity? No sex scenes? C'mon...how COULD you like something like this film with no big name actors and a small (by Hollywood standards) budget? I guess there is so much garbage out there today that when something creative and new comes along, it throws a lot of people out of whack.
But let me tell you this, I stand in the "Cloverfield" corner and I will go out on a limb and say there hasn't been an sci-fi film like this since "Aliens" many years ago. I had a lot of fun watching this film (twice as of this writing) and I will enjoy it for many years to come. Thanks J.J. Abrams for allowing me to enjoy not only the movie, but the hype leading up to it. The way this movie was promoted, starting with the trailer preceding "Transformers" to the internet sites and gimmicks, was fun to follow and I loved the film. Excellent job. Can't wait to see what you do with Star Trek!
