Talk:Godzilla (1998 film)

Can we get an Article about the cartoon that followed this show?

What kind of entry is this? It is rife with spelling errors and unfinished sentences. Has there been a system virus released on wikipedia? 131.37.206.6 18:56, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

It's a review. Needs a rewrite. Badly.

I agree with that. This is one of the worst Wikipedia articles ever. It needs a complete deletetion and rewrite, since it's nothing more than opinionated review. Wikipedia is supposed to be a database for facts. This article is so opinionated that It's going to take a lot of work to fix this.

"Toho deemed the treatment of their creation to have been so far away from the original idea that they rescinded the option for the Americans to continue owning the creature and killed it off when it was depicted later in Godzilla: Final Wars under the name of Zilla." That statement is completely false, Toho was actually happy with the different view on the creature that the artist --whose name I forgot-- brought (I'm refering to the guy who sculpted the first version of the americanized godzilla. The fact that the creature was shown "beaten" by the "true godzilla" in a later Toho movie doesn't mean they disliked it, the movie was meant to please the fans, but that's it. And Sony keeps the rights over the creature currently, I myself asked to Ronald Emmerich in the Electric Entertainments forum. You can check yourselves. I'm deleting. -- Pentalis. →Now checking the forums I'm not sure if it was Dean Devlin or Ronald the guy who answered, but it was one of them -- 1:32 GMT -4:00 summer time Pentalis.

Ok, well, why isn't that deleted, yet? There's obviously no citation for it, and it's just a negative reaction from a Godzilla fan making up his own opinioned tirade and calling it a fact? Seriously? Why isn't this deleted?

runtime (& any other disputed factoids)

Is there an extended version of this movie that runs 169 minutes? If so, i'd love to see it, but i've only ever heard of the original release, which goes just a bit over two horus (140 min., according to the IMDb). Crazilla 22:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC) (oops)

Soundtrack in Movie?

I seem to recall that the majority of the songs in the supposed "soundtrack" Godzilla: The Album appear at no point during the film. It's been a bit since I've seen this, put I'm pretty sure that's true. Anyone know one way or the other? (71.192.34.220 (talk) 01:38, 14 January 2008 (UTC))

Ain't it the review?

So, I keep hearing about this Harry Knowles review.... is this it? http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=801 If show, it should be an external link. - Kevingarcia 05:01, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Come With Me?

Do some of you guys know the background music of Puff Daddy's Come With Me? I think I heard it somewhere before.--Martin L. King 18:19, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

we deserve the sequal

Godzilla fighting a giant insect? Sounds like the sequal would have been a lot like the "real" Godzilla movies. Manhatten becomes permenantly abandoned and the new monster Island. Godzilla actually fights more and uses the fire breath. Sounds like the sequal would have done the series some justice. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by VRaptorX (talk • contribs) 17:27, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

For one thing, learn to spell. For another, wikipedia is not a message board.66.191.114.224 20:47, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Who removed the section on Cloverfield? Scorpionman 02:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Could we get a citation on the Godzilla sequel getting scrapped in favor of a Mel Gibson period piece? Or how about a citation for a Godzilla sequel in the event that Spider-Man 3, a film about a marvel superhero, does well at the box office? This ALMOST smells like vandalism.

Why no sequal?

THis movie kicked ass! It made twice the budget! They should renew their liscense and make a damn REAL sequel!

After word got out that Emmerich was debating the sequels creation, so-called fans of Godzilla felt it necessary to send letters of protest. Whether or not that affected Emmerich's decision or not I'm not sure. Apparently a lot of fans of the Godzilla series hated the new look, location, and the very idea of the American Godzilla being Godzilla, me not being one of them.

Why does the article state that for a sequel to be made it depends on the success of Spider-Man 3? Son of Kong

I wonder the same thing Scorpionman 02:30, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

O'neil

Is the O'Neil character's name a reference to O'neil in Stargate, also by Ronald Emmerich? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.110.141 (talk) 19:57, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Uh...is there a reason for the "suit Godzilla" picture in here, with the caption "Zilla caught in the suspension cables of the Brooklyn Bridge"? I smell a rat Scorpionman 21:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
