Whatever the benefits of CGI, it has yet to convincingly create the illusion of physical presence so essential to monster movies:....The INDEPENDENCE DAY director-producer-writer team of Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin have blown up the simple premise behind Japan's beloved Godzilla series --....The only real thrill the film has to offer is the spectacle of Godzilla crashing through the canyons of Manhattan....It's a while before he pokes his head out again, leaving the screen to the much less interesting h ...

But without doubt, there are some very good things about Godzilla. The fact is, the film is a flat, listless work that is excessively noisy, excessively silly and excessively long. The main problem with Godzilla, however, is that it lacks a soul. ... Full Review
