Here's what really pisses me off about this movie: Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich are clearly racist. When the monster makes its first appearance, attacking a Japanese freighter, the captain of the vessel is eating a bowl of noodles and watching a sumo wrestling match on television. Later on, when members of the French secret service are hiding out in New York, waiting for the monster, they're sitting around eating croissants and wishing they had some French roast because they say that American coffee sucks.
That aside, this movie was basically just a rehash of Independence Day, but with worse acting and a giant lizard instead of giant alien spaceships. In this movie, the army does more damage than the lizard does. For Christ's sake, how long did it take them to realize that the monster was cold-blooded? It's a lizard, so that would stand to reason anyway.
And the fucking plugs in this movie. The blatant Kodak advertisement makes me want to do unspeakable things to Hollywood executives.
Finally, you have the soundtrack for this god-awful piece of shit. Puff Daddy is not a real musician, and I'm not afraid of his "posse." If I ever meet him, I will shout that very statement to his face. If he ever met a real gangster, he'd shit himself and start bawling like a deflowered cheerleader. This man is terrible, and the fact that Jimmy Page agreed to that little "Kashmir remix" project sickens me to my very core. How can you make a soundtrack for "Godzilla," and not have the decency to put the 1977 Blue Oyster Cult mega-hit of the same name on said soundtrack.
"Stargate" was okay. "Independence Day" had its moments. But there was nothing redeeming about "Godzilla." What the hell happened to Dean and Roland?
