I personally couldn't stop watching this movie when I was younger.
Sean Keating Same
Same here. It's on Netflix now. I'm 32 now and still love this movie!
Me too! Omg
Hell yeah! It used to come up on cable tv very often.
I'm 27 and still can't stop watching it 😊
Gene Siskel even asked the question, "If you're going to go through the trouble of putting us in a monster movie, why don't you at least take advantage of having the monster either eat or squash us?" in his review of the movie. I just wanted to recall it because of what Gene said to Roger Ebert via telephone.
I actually do like this film a lot.
It was my introduction to the franchise, it's good fun and compared to other big budget blockbusters coming out nowadays, it's not that bad
This film is a huge guilty pleasure for me. I loved it as a kid and it was my introduction to the character. I know it's a piece of shit, but nostalgia always gets the better of me...
Same here fam
icecream is nice It's not and will never be a "piece of s**t" to me. I love this film, and I truly have legitimate, genuine reasons why. I'm sorry, and I know I shouldn't be bothered by this, but it seriously IRKS me whenever G-Fans call this film a 'piece of s**t.' I find it very derogatory. And it's been 18 years since it came out, so when I see G-Fans describing the film like this, it comes across to me as very SAD because it's like the Godzilla fan base as a whole STILL hasn't gotten over its collective disappointment over this film, EVEN in the wake of Gareth Edward's film. 😔
icecream is nice same
icecream is nice You know, I can relate to that. Movie sucked but it was my introduction to Godzilla franchise
It wasn't a bad movie, just not a good Godzilla.
This movie is more like a remake of the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms rather than Godzilla.
That's it.
No.
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!
The only thing Beast and Gojira have in common is atomic monster on the loose. Yeah Tanaka watch Beast and got the idea for Gojira that hardly qualifies it as a rip off
***** And Superman is a rip-off of a flying man in tights. Is that what you want to say? Listen, if you count that as a rip-off then everything is a rip-off. Then for example Jurassic Park is a rip-off of Monster island and The Terminator is a rip-off of Mecha-Godzilla. Besides this Superman lizard looks like any other dragon type monster of that time. the only reference to Godzilla is the size, but still I know where you are coming from.
Is just me or is Godzilla much much bigger on poster than in the actual movie
Formerly smaller
"Godzilla can't die at the end"
You had ONE job, Emmerich...
And NO, the egg at the end doesn't count.
One job Tristar. ONE. JOB.
Apparently it was the studio who insisted on Godzilla dying. They said jaws always die..
Lol what about Godzilla vs destroyah
@@cheetahluv210 well that was meant to be the end until this movie came out then they mad Godzilla 2000
As a kid, who had never seen or understand a Godzilla picture I loved this film as a monster pic. Haven't seen it in years but i have fond memories of it :P
Oliver saying “ah ha, yeah” lives in my head rent free.
This damn movie is seared into my memory. There was so much hype around this movie and I remember the huge controversy around the change in Godzilla’s design. They turned him into a giant dinosaur lizard thing and Godzilla fans were pissed.
I think this was one of the last reviews Gene Siskel did before he died.
My problem with this movie was the fact they made Godzilla an animal, not a monster. He spends most of the movie hiding or running way, and only fights to defend himself.
And his eggs.
"What did you see, old man?"
"A lot of fish."
The Orange Club give this man a trophy
I WAS FROZEN TODAY!!!
Is this related to Suburban Commando? Did that preview used to be on the VHS?
lol
Nostalga Critic!!!
personally, i like the design of the 98 godzilla. just wish he was bigger/taller. like the height of the godzilla from the 2014 movie
Happy 20TH Anniversary Godzilla 98!
Same here!
Now it's 21, meaning it's old enough to drink.
Now its 23
I've never been on the hate bandwagon for this one. Maybe because I was twelve when it came out and had only seen a handful of Godzilla flicks by that point (and I have a greater fondness for the British flick Gorgo), but I remember being entertained and if there is nothing better to do, I'll watch it if it's on TV on a random Saturday afternoon.
Faint praise maybe, but I can name a lot of films that bring out greater vitriol from me.
Fair enough
It’s a bad Godzilla adaptation but a decent monster movie
I love Godzilla (1984), it's one of my absolute favorite Godzilla films EVER!!!!
Godzilla (1984) looks like a school project from the 1950's.
@@gargos25 no it doesn't
@@disma4191 Sorry my dude but the puppets are ridiculous even for 80's standards. I just watched the scenes again just to confirm that. Remember that movies like Alien and 2001: A Space Odysee came out years before this. I understand and respect your attachment to the movie but I personally can't get over the Godzilla puppet.
@@gargos25 yhea but the other effects look pretty good and the movies that You are conparing it with ware big americans productions Godzilla '84 was only 1 million dollar and that's the Best they can do in Japan so respect
@@gargos25 it’s not a puppet. It’s a suit with an actor inside. Not an easy job.
Complaining about Godzilla disappearing for long stretches of time... man, the 2014 movie musta pissed you off... 10 minutes of Godzilla in a 2 hour+ movie called "Godzilla".
one of my guilty pleasures...
LOL!!! "Jub-Jub: The Movie"! Good review. The actually title of the movie you mention at 4:40 is actually "Godzilla: *Final* Wars." It's pretty awesome, in my opinion. I love the Godzilla franchise. A lot of great ones as well as a fair share of duds. I've never seen this one and I think I may keep it that way.
Haha whoops I didn't say 'FINAL' oh bugger.
and it makes me sad, that the late great Stan Winston almost worked on this movie
I think this is one of the best expensive monster runs amok b movies ever made . It's ludicrous and never fails to entertain, amazing sight and sound also, they utilized the Nyc setting to perfection and i actually like the silly characters .
The "Jub-Jub" part killed me.
But I LOVE Godzilla: The animated series.
Atleast Godzilla 2014 had Godzilla and the mutos as back up actors if the other acts were boring. this had Godzilla lite and a guy who studies worms.
This was the first movie I've ever seen in theaters when I was eleven years old 😂😂
I quite like the design of Godzilla in this film.
this movie was one of my fav godzilla movies growing up
As far as Spielberg goes, imagine if he directed this. Seriously, the master of the summer blockbuster...although perhaps he thought it would have been too similar to Jurassic Park.
There were once talks for Spielberg to adapt the novel "Robopocalypse" (which I started reading for that reason, fantastic book), we hope that something like that can show audiences how summer blockbusters used to be.
I suspect if Spielberg had made it, the monster would've actually resembled the Japanese counterpart.
Best RUclips reviews ever. I love how the music is edited in perfect places on the video. I love these reviews. I am officially an Oliver's Retrospectives fan for life.
Also, Im a Godzilla fan. The 2014 movie wiped out all memory I had of the 1998 version. Better than this movie by miles.
lol this was one of my favourite movie from childhood
I remember this movie pretty fondly from when I saw it as a kid. My family and I owned it back on VHS. I’ve thought about going back to it, but perhaps it would be for the best to leave it where it’s at in my memory. Lol
Now that I've gone through all your library catalogue, what do I do? Rewatch them again, ofcourse.
If you don't like the movie, then try watching the animated series based on it. The animated series is actually really good.
1987MartinT it was fantastic 👍🏻
Honest to godzilla ( hehe! ) I love this movie.
great vid as always, really loved the use of Michiru Oshima's Godzilla theme for your ending at 19:21, makes the film have a better feel to it
I love Mazaki Tezuka's Godzilla films.
I saw this as a 10 year old and absolutely loved it at the time. I haven't seen it in at least 10 years though.
I always said that Jean Reno was the best actor in the film, and Godzilla the next best!
I still suspect that this movie did not actually start as a Godzilla movie. Watch it and the older classic "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" back to back and the similarities between the two become apparent. I can't help but suspect that this started life as a Beast remake and someone scratched out the title and scribbled in Godzilla when the license became available. And as a Beast 20k remake it isn't THAT bad...
I bet you're right.
No, because Dean Devlin wrote the script after being approached to do an American Godzilla film. Then he pressured Roland Emmerich to direct. It's mentioned in this video.
The "Size does matter!" was a jab at Star Wars Yoda I've heard, where Lucas alledgedly with the release of The Phantom Menace had the words "Plot does matter!"
This film was my introduction to Godzilla.
I have to agree on the Jurassic Park aping attempt. You go to see the big lizard. We're supposed to believe he was killed by the submarine, then go forever dealing with imitation Raptors that completely obliterate any Godzilla feel the movie had, and feel hardly any recovery from that when big Zilla finally shows up again.
I know fans shit on this movie but for me I still love it for what it is. Yes I also saw the new reboot version and it was awesome. The irony is this matter is that Godzilla was show less in the reboot than in the 98 version. But of course he battle other monsters and the movie have a good solid story with characters that you can relate too.
Wasn't there critique to his size as well, that it differed throughout the Movie?
4:50 no, not everybody. Not for me, at least. I actually like 1998 Godzilla, I even have it on DVD.
Thanks, Oliver! I always loved the movie, but I didn't know why they used an iguana-like design. Now I know!
Honestly, I think this film would've gotten a lot better reception from monster movie fans if this film was not attached to the Godzilla name.
Loved this movie as a kid. Used to draw pictures of him in school
As a kid I loved this movie and really love the design, but it really needed him fighting another creature...I understand the reasons for hating it, but it really has a place in my heart due to fond memories of watching it with my family. I always wanted a Godzilla figure when they were in stores but unfortunately didn't. Not the best Godzilla maybe, but it has a place in my collection as something special.
You're and my story are exactly the same!
This trailer was also attached to The Lost World Jurassic Park, I remember clearly seeing this exact trailer in the theater when I was like 6.
I liked this one (1998) more than the 2014. The newest tried to take itself to seriously and theres was too much of a homage to the old godzilla. Also, there was very little godzilla for a movie called "Godzilla".
The fact that Heisei Godzilla actor, Kenpachiro Satsuma, literally walked out of the theater in pure anger is enough to state how the Godzilla fanbase feels about it.
7:58 yes the logical explanation of footprints 5x bigger than any theropod dinosaur footprint is to think its an allosaurus (that's what she said in the movie)
Great catch.
Terrible scripts lead to terrible movies.
SEspider Many of the Godzilla movies had a terrible script, but for the fans it was at least Godzilla.
I'm probably one of the few people that prefer this over the 2014 one. I've seen this multiple and I like it every single time!
Come on, at least the 2014 Godzilla was a REAL GODZILLA.
@@randomguy6679 Yeah I think that was the reason why the 1998 one was hated so much. People didn't feel like it was a proper Godzilla movie.
@@asimghaffar8148 It’s not a Godzilla movie. I feel dirty even calling it Godzilla.
Genuinely unwatchable. The bouncing cars when he arrives is fantastic (something the new Zilla lacks imo, he seems very light footed for his size), but apart from that this is a shocking film with absolutely no redeeming factors apart from the late 90's fascination with CGI overindulgence. Also why in Gods name would you wave a lighter in the face of someone suffering from PTSD!?
I still like it. It's one of my favorite incarnations of Godzilla.
One of the few things I like about this movie is the fire breath. It made a callback to 1954 Godzilla before Toho's... that's sad actually.
Honestly Oliver, I never thought the original Godzilla from the 50s should have had a sequel. The original Japanese film from 1954 is excellent. Give it a go if you haven't seen it.
Ive always liked this one, probably because its the first Godzilla film I ever seen but I do understand why there are so many complaints
I always loved this one ever since I was a kid and I watch it often. I love its dark mood and David Arnold's score. It has a great cast (Jean Reno is amazing in everything and I thought Matthew Broderick was quite believable as a scientist). I can see why fans of the original Godzilla didn't like it as it is not a Godzilla movie but a very enjoyable monster flick with great production values. Maybe the reason I love this film so much is because I really don't care about the original Godzilla (I found the 2014 movie much less enjoyable). Great review Mr. Harper, it's great to have a reviewer that's not only about destroying a movie for laughs. You are very professionnal !
So Witwicky was a Colonel, fighting Godzilla. And then sided with the Autobots, as a family man. Hmm..
I like the design though. Also, the sequel animated series is pretty good.
I used to watch this movie a lot when I was a kid. On top of that I was a Godzilla fan but now I'm watching it again I find it to be a good dumb 90s flick. Not a real godzilla movie but still has a lot of fun moments...
i like very much ur retrospectives, pls keep doint them
I think this movie can work as a guilty pleasure. But you are right, the two leads are just unappealing and so annoying that you wish Godzilla would squash them.
17:06 Matthew Broderick is JFK?!
Anyways, great review, Oliver!
The look of this Godzilla is great. Not having lumbering around at a snail's pace was a great idea. It's a feature the original Godzilla creators wanted but couldn't achieve. They originally were going to make him thinner and faster for their stop-motion plans but the production was too costly back then. So they went for the much cheaper costume and miniature live action style. They wanted a leaner and faster Godzilla and that's one reason Toho signed off on his new design for this film. Plus they wanted to keep the American style seprate from their's.
This movie had a LOT of potential but belly flopped in large part to the terrible script, cast, and acting.
Any proof that Toho saying that?
I've never, ever heard that they wanted Godzilla to be fast. You are correct about the stop-motion, but I think you're adding your own ideas about the designs. Original storyboards all show him standing upright, and with less of a gut because obviously they didn't know what a man in a giant dinosaur suit would look like. And a creature the size of Godzilla moving quickly while standing upright wouldn't have worked, even in fiction.
Dr. Forrester
They said it. Just not exactly how fast they originally wanted him to say. As for the storyboards, standing upright has nothing to do with him being slow. Standing upright could be fast or slow. They had to change his look once they realized they couldn't go the King Kong route.
"but I think you're adding your own ideas about the designs." No I'm not. That would require lying. Something I'm 100% against.
SEspider Can you prove that Toho specifically said that? Any source, quotes, etc?
Granted, Toho's original vision for Godzilla was probably that of a thinner, more streamlined creature, but as far as this movie goes the input for Zilla/GINO's design was mostly between Emmerich and the monster's designer Totopolous(the main character was named after this guy).
While this monster had a decent design, it doesn't help to deviate so far from what's already established, even if it was the original vision(I think a good anology to this was how George Lucas originally envisioned the old Star Wars movies)
Eh, not a big fan of this argument anyway. The debate over the creation of Zilla/GINO has always been a he said she said.
"Emmerich decided to drastically change Godzilla behind Toho's back BUT WAIT Toho was supportive of the idea all along, this design was their original view of Godzilla!"
firetools
Proof? I have time, nor patience, to look it up again. I remember it being mentioned in a documentary I saw. Which one? I haven't a clue. It's one of those useless facts I tend to remember for no clear reason. Sorry.
When I think of Godzilla I first think of Jet Jaguar . . but the very NEXT thing I think of is Matthew Broderick - so it just made SENSE to cast him in a 'Zilla film. Well, ...but speaking of "Final Wars", HOW COOL was that goalie save?
Great review/retrospective. I also love the inclusion of Siskel and Ebert and their thoughts. I missed those segments in your older reviews.
Thanks, unfortunately I had to reduce the Siskel & Ebert clips because of complaints from my UK fans. They don't seem to like them and they don't want to hear their opinions.
Strange to hear that. I am from the UK and a huge fan of Siskel & Ebert and I have watched (multiple viewings) and read hundreds of their reviews.
What I was finding, is if the viewer disagreed with Siskel & Ebert they would get upset and tell me not to include them because they don't care about their opinions.
I absolutely adore this film!
I really love this movie, it has some funny moments ("Wrong floor...") and it's overall story is tragic.
The score is forgettable, but the soundtrack song by the Wallflowers is memorable.
One of my favorites as a kid. Watched it over and over.
To be honest, I doubt that the fans would've hated it as much as they did had this version showed the elements that made Godzilla such force to be reckoned with. All they had to do was make him indestructible, make him the brutal force of destruction he is. Instead.....we got a giant version of my pet lizard.....
That's Alot of Fish...Alot of Fish Indeed, Great Review Man! ;)
I remember seeing this movie with my cousin Chucky. I was extremely pissed off. After the movie a bunch of us who saw the movie were talking about it. And I mentioned out loud that the Americans did what the Japanese have been trying to do for over 50yrs Kill Godzilla. That got a laugh from everyone. True story.
The original Godzilla movie, from 1954, also had no other monsters for him to fight.
This film is a guilty pleasure for me much like Batman Forever. I love going back and re watching it every year. It's just such a bad movie I can't hate it.
I love the 2014 Godzilla movie way better.
I liked it a little better.
They're both kinda bad.
Great review. Even after a couple of years your review is still interesting like almost all of them. I guess, you can´t find someone loving all of the movies. :)
Me, I had been very sceptical about the Godzilla movie not being a fan of this kind of monster flick. Even Jurassic Park isn´t my kind of entertainment. But after watching Godzilla on TV, three times by now, I had changed my mind about this particular production. It is really well done. In a way it reminds me at The Ghostbusters by the intentions - Family entertainment and fair fun with a touch irony. 1:53 But Men in Black is also a good reference. The script really has caught me and the actors gave their best. It never becomes cheesy as so many modern catastrophy and moster productions. Interesting how split up the reactions are to it.
Haha nice reference to Jub-jub :D
I actually didn't mind this movie when it first came out, nothing amazing but I found it entertaining enough. Haven't seen it for a few years, it's just something I'd probably watch if it was on tv with nothing else better on another channel.
I always thought it was a bit of a Jurassic Park knock off when the baby Godzillas appear in the film too.
I'm glad you mentioned the Jamiroquai song, as it's an awesome track. I rocked that on my CD Walkman (yes you read that right).. most of that summer, such a tune! haha
That's a lot of fish
use to really like this film when i was like 7 or 8 but as i get older yeah it has not aged well. The Effects still hold up for the most part but it is just not a Godzilla movie. Godzilla 2014 was Muuuch better
But nothing can beat the original 1954 movie
Seriously when I ask a kid what godzilla is they be like that big dinasour in the movies a few months ago. I'm like yeah I guess. I ask someone my age (14) and they be like recent movie or the dinasour like t-Rex from 1998. I'm the only one in my grade who knows what godzilla actually is
i hate this movie nowadays (liked it as a stupid 8 year old) but at least it had more godzilla than 2014
then again, it was zilla, not godzilla so that cancels out
so,
dogshit
Yeah i was gonna say there is no Godzilla in the 98 film XD I agree the new film could have used more Godzilla but on the other hand i think the lack of screen time made his appearances all the more memorable and impactful.
William Amaro
oh i agree at least on the first viewing. I remember in the theater there was actual cheering in the last battle when he finally showed up and KICKED ASS. the second viewing was more grumbling by everyone that there wasn't enough Godzilla kicking ass.
Awesome! What a treat!
First movie i saw at a movie theater, right now i'm into kaiju, so this just brought me so much memories that i always liked these type of movies, yes this movie is not the best and a lot of people might say is bad but i still enjoy very much the movie, is one of those movies you can watch a sunday on the afternoon.
I saw this with friends when I was 9. Naturally I was stupid enough to love it lol. I find Broderick insufferable in any role that isn't Ferris Bueller. His Fred-Scooby Doo voice irritates the hell out of me. Jean Reno fucking rules though! Great review as always, Olly!
Hands down the best movie reviewer on RUclips.
"They should have called it 'Jub-Jub'" LOL omg.
The biggest plot hole in this film is mentioned at 8:00 - if Nick was brought on because of his expertise in studying radiation mutated creatures, why did they need him to "discover" that Godzilla is a creature mutated by radiation? If they didn't know this already, why was he even there???
I was so looking forward to this film and then very disappointed when it was originally released. But watching it a few years ago as a bit of schlock, I actually enjoyed it. It's dumb but fun.
im probably in the minority but i like the design of this monster over the original fat and cute one
In all Fairness Oliver!! It's just like you to Blame the directors for the weather!
I love your videos and I'm just having a laugh :)
I remember my dad taking me to the movie store, renting this on VHS and watching it over and over. It's not a good movie but I absolutely love it haha. One thing I remember is the commercials for it. The Taco bell dog needing a bigger box was my favorite. I was only 6 when it came out. But it's the first movie I remember actively watching
This was my first theater movie _ever_ and I still remember the awesome promotional events before the release date. I was a dumb kid who loves Godzuki at the time so it was the *sickest* thing ever, even now I still enjoy this movie and stand by the fact Godzillas Revenge is _the_ worst Godzilla movie ever. Besides Toho retconned this twice so the damage is nonexistent.
Hey m'man. Looooove your retrospectives, but I've always been particularly annoyed by Siskel and Ebert. You don't NEED them. You're better than they EVER were..
Jim Slav haha well I haven't included Siskel and Ebert clips for over year.
Oliver Harper Crap, I HATE trying to give advice to people that ALREADY make a good thing. What the hell do I know? But I DO like it better when you talk about Siskel and Ebert's review than when you put up big portions of their stuff. S&E are pop-culture critics everybody knows and it their review IS relevant to a retrospective, but I'm here to listen to YOU, Oliver (not a bunch of middle-of-the-road hacks).
But let me end this post with praise. I really enjoy this show, especially how you can separate the different contributions of different artists (cinematography, effects, soundtrack, photography, etc), and judge those contributions individually. It makes you stand out from the crowd and makes the Retrospective really special. Don't listen to my asinine criticism. It's just ONE THING that sticks out from and otherwise awesome RUclips show and, I suspect, it's just because S&E always rub me the wrong way. Just keep doing what you're doing!
+Jim Slav i agree. his insights are waaaay juicier than those two.
John Michael Yap And Oliver is nicer. And respectful of artists. And he never celebrated stupidity, or being slow to understand something. I suspect Oliver looks up to S&E, but the two of them (especially Ebert) seem to sit in the audience with their arms folded, egotistically expecting an easy, linear experience similar to ones they've enjoyed in the past. They never discovered a masterpiece in their lives because their minds don't work that way.
However, it can be argued that their opinions have a place in the retrospective due to their own pop culture status, so whether included or no, the Retrospective is still justified whatever Oliver decides to do. So I suspect this is an opinion matter, but hey. Isn't that what message boards are for? lol
+Jim Slav They may be 'hacks' to some, but Ebert was a widely respected (and even syndicated) film reviewer. I too don't think Oliver's reviews particularly need them, but I still like to hear what 'popular' US audiences probably thought at the time. I usually disagree with their evaluation of some of the films I think fondly of (such as Predator 2). What I don't think is cool is a film director/producer hating critics so much that they put caricatures of them in their films so they can laugh and point. I agree with them though - why didn't they at least get squished or suffer some calamity? Why even bother if you're NOT going to?
I'd remembered when I was 9 seeing the first half of this on ABC Family (now Freeform) in May 2010. Gave up once the monster had arrived in New York.
HAHAHA the Jub-Jub line got me!
Are you going to see the sequel, “Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” this May?
As bad as this film is, (as film, and as a Godzilla picture), I honestly enjoyed this movie more than Godzilla 2014. I like the new design of Godzilla in 2014, but the characters were so bland, and worse yet, no fun. The characters were as cardboard as they come in 98, but at least there was some humor, and more than 10 minutes of a giant Godzilla esque creature causing destruction. In terms of Godzilla being more like his Toho counterpart, the 2014 is far better, in terms of character, and story each are pretty bad, the characters as I stated earlier, are probably more useless, and forgettable in the latest version. If a movie can't be emotionally sustaining, I at least wan't to be entertained, which I was with the 98 Godzilla, with the Godzilla 2014 I was pretty bored, as everything outside the monster scenes, was dull, and uninteresting.
gotta agree with that. I didnt believe when i heard people picking this one over the 2014 movie but now that ive seen it I understand prefectly.
KingFossilFER Glad I'm not the only one, I just can't excuse a film with the talented cast that Godzilla 2014 had, to be that uninteresting, and have characters be that lifeless.
Thing is, it more fun compared to the 2014 movie.
If I was given the chance id watch neither of them and go see the 1954 movie or godzilla VS destroyah.
Godzilla 2014 got the Transformers syndrome, where the whole fucking movie revolves around human and military as opposed to THE MOTHERFUCKING THING the title was named after.
Add me to the list of people who prefer this Godzilla. I'm happy for the creature in this to be a separate monster called Zilla. I think this film is far more fun and entertaining.
10:29 I never got why people said "the CGI in Godzilla 1998 is bad," even though in others films of the 1990s had CGI that is far worse. Some CGI characters look worse than the 1998 Godzilla like Genie Jafar by Marawan.
we went to go see this movie in theatres at our town's newest and biggest (21 screens) theatre. and the line wrapped about the building from the front to the back on premiere weekend, that was the 1st crazy line ive experienced for a movie. I was maybe 10 or 12 at the time. Keep making more vids, already subscribed and seen abunch of your reviews but i cant recall if you have ever watched/reviewed Robot Jox, if not please do. It seems we grow up during the same time and every movie you watched, ive also watched or have the same GREAT TASTE IN MOVIES :P
