As someone who subscribes to the notion that there are no bad Godzilla films, I still find the best bits of Godzilla to be good enough to make the entire thing worth sitting through every few years.

Forget the Emmy-winning 온라인카지노추천 special Liza With a Z -- here we have the Razzie-winning theatrical stinker Godzilla With a Zzzz (aka Godzilla vs. Ferris Bueller, since the oversized monster proves to be no match for Matthew Broderick’s incessant shtick).

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 28, 2023

The 1998 Godzilla may be less beloved for its lighter tone and special effects, but it offers entertainment if you approach it with an open mind.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 23, 2023

What the new, monstrously budgeted Godzilla brings home is that size doesn’t matter -- that tacky crudeness harnessed to a real vision can have more brute power than all the state-of-the-art computer wizardry that Hollywood’s money can buy.

Unfortunately, the movie teeters precariously between camp and serious without finding its balance.

This 'Zilla is no thrillah. The only thing huge about it is the size of its failure, with monsters straight out of Jurassic Park (yawn), a plot thinner than the butter topping on popcorn and mailed-in acting by the cast.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 15, 2023

The new Godzilla in this movie is sleek and fast, but the storyline is bloated and slow.

This newest look at the radiation-created creature who once razed Tokyo continues to advance the art of digital-efx to a jaw-dropping degree. Yet it offers little else.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 15, 2023

It would be fun to report that Godzilla is a 400-foot-tall turkey in lizard's clothing, but the truth is that it's just rather dull.

Character counts, and Godzilla is a negative number.

This is damn good aesthetic amusement. It's Aliens, and it's Jurassic Park, and it's Starship Troopers. It's what we get now, and maybe we should be thankful for the simplification.

How do you screw up "Squish" and "Aargh"? By spending more than $100 million on marvelous special effects, another $50 million on a brilliant marketing campaign, and, then, forgetting to invest any money on a logical script. That's how.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 15, 2023

You can't have everything, especially in the cinematic summer season. And when Emmerich and Dean are at their gleefully destructive best, you really don't want everything. Popcorn fun is more than enough.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 15, 2023

Its sodden state derives from its shameless assault on the moviegoing public. This isn't art. It isn't even great trash. It's a con game, and we bear the claw marks.

| Feb 15, 2023

While the spectacular special effects are the obvious main attraction, Godzilla, at more than two hours long, is bogged down by paper-thin characters and uninteresting subplots.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 15, 2023

The new American Godzilla is a major disappointment. It’s not quite the mega-hyped bust that the Seinfeld finale was, but it’s close.

| Feb 15, 2023

It's hard to imagine Godzilla -- or any movie, for now -- topping Titanic in popularity... But Godzilla, which delivers unpretentious fun with a blithe spirit, will surely give that box-office behemoth a healthy run for its money.

Godzilla’s idea of wit is to have the New York City mayor and his assistant bear a suspicious resemblance to a pair of famous thumb-wagging movie critics who panned Independence Day -- although even that dim joke gets run into the ground

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 15, 2023

Godzilla leaves nothing to the imagination. It also leaves nothing much for its stars to do.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 15, 2023

Emmerich and Devlin give this summer's audiences a vigorous, funny, outrageous film that succeeds because it never, ever takes itself too seriously.

| Original Score: B | Feb 15, 2023
