Godzilla   1998         PG-13, 139 min. Genre: Action / Sci-Fi / Horror / Thriller Director: Roland Emmerich   Cast: Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno, Hank Azaria, Maria Pitillo, Michael Lerner, Harry Shearer, Arabella Field, Philippe Bergeron, Malcolm Danare, Kevin Dunn, Vicki Lewis, Doug Savant, Lorry Goldman, Christian Aubert, Frank Bruynbroek   Godzilla is resurrected following French nuclear tests in the South Pacific, and the 90-foot monster crosses Panama and heads north where he lays waste to NYC's Wall Street and the subway system—all this with the U.S. Army in close pursuit. Also on Godzilla's trail is NRC biologist Dr. Nick Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick), and close behind are Nick's ex-girlfriend Audrey Timmonds (Maria Pitillo), who is looking for a big news story, and French secret service agent Philippe Roach (Jean Reno), who is trying to protect his country's reputation.    1 User Review User Review 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.
