A film just as bad as X-Men = Godzilla
First of all it was only ever made because the writers thought because Independence Day did well this would. As this, like ID was a comic book story. In my view this is entirly the wrong way to go about making a film!
Secondly, although i missed the very start of the film, i'm sure i saw the french nuclear arms testing - the whole plot of the film! Surely to god, there were more than one lizard in that area at the time!! I can't help imagine that more than one would have been exposed. As if lizards are anything like crocodiles (i have just finished watching a BBC documentary) which they are!!! They move around in groups!!! One Godzilla, how did that come about!
Thirdly, how Godzilla moved easily through the sides of buildings, it or she smashed its way striaght through buildings without even flinching. Nothing could do that!!!Not even an armered tank could with-stand that many collisions.
Fourthly, how the missiles used to destroy the sports stadium (with the babies inside) totally destroyed that to kingdom-come. But when they hit the side of Godzilla only appeared to go bang, like caps on somebodies skin!!!! It wasn't that big you know. A whole stadium, its top leg having the same blast radius.....i don't think so!!!!!!!
I could go on for much longer, but as you probably guessed this is just a series of, what i thought to be bad points during the film.
This is also an example of what i was talking about on my
X-Men posting, films with predictable story lines. You knew, ever before the film what was going to happen.
Bad thing happening - nuke testing
Side effects - Godzilla
Disaster - it going to somewhere where it could cause most damage
Scientist (who is a specialist in such things) solving the problem
Army not listening
Being forced too - killing Godzilla
What a hero!
In my view, films that can be summed up that easily by a 15 year old youth are bad. With no bottom line. You think of a film you really like, then describe the plot. I bet it will be longer than 7 points!!!!!
Godzilla, like X-Men in one of the worst films in history!

This film shows how hype can make a film survive where as other non hyped films can be crushed.
I could name hundreds of awful films but i think this tops the charts of them all because people used to say oh it's brilliant because everyone else did,now they have come to their senses and see what a load of pure rubbish it is.
