Godzilla – Roland Emmerich (1998)

There have been Japanese Godzilla films since 1954. In 1998 followed the first American attempt to exploit the concept. The film was no success and especially the Japanese made fun of the American version. 25 Years later the film looks like a Hollywood disaster spectacle that is at best amusing.

Of course this American version is not set in Japan, but in New York. Godzilla was born as the cause of nuclear tests, but he does not have his famous nuclear beam. Godzilla does have the ability to lay 200 eggs and hatch them in no-time, so the Americans not only have to fight a giant lizard, but also its offspring.

In style this 1998 movie fits well into the time-frame.
