Roland Emmerich Strikes Again!1fatts 04/13/2009 
  It is perfectly justifiable not to like Roland Emmerich movies. He seems to believe that subtlety involves using only a two-ton sledgehammer instead of a ten-ton sledgehammer, when a tack hammer will do.
He does to "the monster movie" in Godzilla what he did to "the alien movie" in Indpendence Day and would later do to "the ecology movie" in The Day After Tomorrow." Good special effects; a plot that comes out of a blender; and dialogue written by a ten-year-old and spoken with deep commitment to the "Omigosh, Batman!" school of acting.
But that's the fun of the thing. If you want more, don't spend the money. If you want to watch things blow up or crash or crack or whatever which make no more demands of your wit or intelligence than a Hardy Boys book, you can have some fun. It's like Jackie Chan movies with better special effects and no sense of humour.

  Museum curator Nick Deezy (Jeff Goldblum) and hairdresser Sylvia Pickel (Cyndi Lauper) are studying psychic phenomena with New York University's Dr. Harrison Steele (Julian Sands) as their professor. Both Sylvia and Nick have psychic powers and come to the aid of Harry Buscafusco (Peter Falk) who wants them to travel to Ecuador in search of his missing son. Actually, Harry is a con-man searching for an Incan lost city of gold and believes that, using their psychic powers, Sylvia and Nick will find it. But, they aren't the only ones searching for the treasure. Dr. Steele is on their trail planning to use the treasure, which he believes has psychic powers that would allow him to rule the world–after getting rid of Nick and Sylvia. Will Nick and Sylvia overcome the dangers that lie ahead, and, in the process, will they find love?
