Talk:Godzilla (1998 film)/@comment-343942-20131113022931

I tend to be more forgiving of this film than most. I was young when this film came out, so I didn't see it as the hardcore fan I am now, I saw it as a little kid that loved monster movies.

Granted, I'm still glad it wasn't the first "Godzilla" film I ever saw, a title that belongs to Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Now that I'm older, I can defiantly see why fans were so disappointed with it; it's one thing to take artistic license and change some stuff around for the sake of retelling a story, it's another to completely alter it beyond recognition.

Overall, it depends on how you choose to view the movie: If you go into it as a serious Godzilla fan, it's almost guaranteed you'll hate it. If you go into it just to see a giant monster movie that doesn't take itself seriously, you might like it okay. Just convince yourself it's not a REAL Godzilla movie.
