Product Description
Product Description
Following the French atomic bomb tests in the South Pacific, an unknown creature is spotted passing westward through the Panama Canal. Scientist Niko Tatopolous is called in to investigate the matter, and he quickly arrives at the conclusion that a giant, irradiated lizard has been created by the explosions. Godzilla(r) then makes its way north, landing at Manhattan to begin wreaking havoc in the big city. Even with the combined forces of the U.S. military to fight the monster, will it be enough to save the people of New York?

As "gigantic monster reptile attacks New York" movies go, you've got to admit that Godzilla delivers the goods, although its critical drubbing and box-office disappointment were arguably deserved. It's a shameless, uninspired crowd pleaser that's content to serve up familiar action with the advantage of really fantastic special effects, and if you expect nothing more you'll be one among millions of satisfied customers. There's really no other way to approach it--you just have to accept the fact that Independence Day creators Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin are unapologetic plagiarists, incapable of anything more than mindless spectacle that can play in any cinema in the world without dubbing or subtitles. The whole movie plays out like a series of highlights stolen from previous blockbusters of the 1990s; it's little more than a rehash of the Jurassic Park movies. The derivative script is so trivial that it's unworthy of comment, apart from a few choice laughs and the casting of Michael Lerner as New York's mayor, whose name is Ebert and who closely resembles a certain well-known movie critic. Perhaps that's a clever hint that this movie's essentially critic-proof. It's stupid but it's fun, and for most audiences that's a fitting definition of mainstream Hollywood entertainment. The widescreen Special Edition DVD includes a wealth of bonus materials--audio commentary by the film's special effects supervisors, a "making of" featurette, the Wallflowers' music video "Heroes," a photo gallery, and a variety of features related to this and all the classic Godzilla films from Japan. --Jeff Shannon

But this film also introduced a lot of us to Godzilla and opened the door to us to the world.
So I love this movie - I love my nuke lizard - and I think this movie is still good.
Its not a guy in a rubber suite. No breathing radioactive plasma (11,000-15,000 deg F) which is never realistic.
New York accents and humor are spot on. The mayor and news anchor are too dopey.
Excellent popcorn movie.

La créature ne tarde pas à refaire parler d'elle, en engloutissant plusieurs navires. Les militaires, sous les ordres du colonel Hicks, essayent de découvrir le lieu vers lequel la chose semble se diriger. Il s'agit de New York, sur la côte Est. Tatopoulos émet l'hypothèse d'un représentant d'une nouvelle espèce biologique, ayant muté sous l'effet de radiations. New York est rapidement placé en état de siège par l'armée, qui échoue, malgré son important déploiement, à stopper le monstre reptilien. Tatopoulos découvre que la bête est sur le point de pondre une centaine d'œufs dans les sous-sols de la ville. Ses informations sont volées par son ex-fiancée, la journaliste Audrey Timmonds, qui en fait un reportage. Viré de l'armée américaine, le scientifique est bientôt récupéré par l'agent Philippe Roche, des services secrets français, qui veut trouver le nid de « Godzilla » pour l'anéantir. L'armée, tente de son côté, de tuer une nouvelle fois le monstre. Suite à un combat contre des sous-marins, la créature est finalement "vaincue" par l'armée.
Alors que Tatopoulos et Roche pénètrent dans le repaire du monstre, ils sont suivis par Audrey et son associé, Victor « Animal » Palotti, qui veulent faire un reportage sur le nid de « Godzilla ». Juste à ce moment-là, les œufs du monstre éclosent les uns après les autres, donnant naissance à une armée de mini-godzilla affamés. Avec les moyens du bord, les quatre compagnons diffusent en direct, les images du nid et informent Hicks de son emplacement. Ce dernier envoie les avions F-18 bombarder le nid, en laissant le temps au protagonistes de s'échapper. Alors que le nid est détruit et que les héros vont pour partir, le parent « Godzilla » émerge du sol, se révélant avoir survécu. En voyant sa progéniture anéantie, la créature entre dans une colère noire et poursuit les héros. Après une course-poursuite en taxi (au cours de laquelle « Godzilla » ravage la moitié de Park Avenue), ils parviennent à prendre au piège le monstre qui, par sa taille, s'empêtre dans les câbles du Pont de Brooklyn. Les F-18 bombardent le géant qui s'écroule dans une longue et tragique agonie. Nick se rapproche de la créature, qui le dévisage, agonisante. C'est ainsi que « Godzilla » s'éteint... Encore que, un œuf demeure survivant du chaos..
