this movie fail on so many level . first of all and the story be not great and though a pregnant godzilla be a nice twist . matthew broderick try valiantly and but he just could not bring any credibility to his dialogue . he almost sound embarrassed to be sayiing some of his line . the lead actress maria pitillo seem to try and get by on cuteness rather than any acting talent . a bad cryer i have not see in a loooong time . she suck . besides broderick and the army general or whatever he be and most of the character be basically bit player . the movie just do not work . and then there be godzilla . visually excellent look . but the evil ( sort of ) and tokyo trashing and soldier eating and building stomp godzilla from the classic movie be reduce to an over sized velociraptor . where the original godzilla take on the military face to face and the new godzilla play a game of cat and mouse . not near as much fun . the movie portray godzilla a a crafty but mindless animal and so that when they finally kill him and the audience be sadden rather than happy about it . godzillas egg and their hatching and steal directly from alien and isn not even suspenseful . we all know that as soon a broderick put his ear up to a shell and it will obviously crack open . and why oh why would the baby godzillas be more attracted to the smell of dead fish on the human than the dead fish themselves . this movie suck . that all i can say . so many hole in the plot and bad acting and poor story and and illogical plot device do not even make it worth see the fx . yuck .
