Summer blockbusters are like that giant hamburger dripping with toppings that you know you probably shouldn't eat. Sure it tastes good while you're eating but afterwards you feel a little sick. 1998's reboot of the long running Godzilla series is exactly what you think it will be: big, loud, dumb. It's kinda fun for what it is. Godzilla looks a lot more dinosaur-like here, and they are clearly ripping off "Jurassic Park" (and "Aliens"). The good cast is largely overshadowed by the big lizards. Director Roland Emmerich, who destroyed the White House in "Independence Day," takes out the Brooklyn Bridge, Chrysler Building, and Madison Square Garden. Not content with merely destroying cities, he'd end the world in "2012." "Size Matters" was the tag line. As of this writing (7/18), there's another Godzilla on the horizon.
