Godzilla is anything you wish it to be- cheesy, camp, atrocious, B movie with A movie budget. It depends on the circumstances you see it in. As a kid I loved it and it always reminds me of late 90s nostalgia. But now that one sees it they see what a flawed one this is. For starters the whole film seems to be either aping or paying tribute to the then recent Jurassic Park. The lead played by Mathew Broderick is a wimp and the "leading lady" was so bad I don't remember anything about her expect that she was a TV journalist of sorts. The effects of Godzilla romping through NYC are decent(especially for the time) but this isn't anything special nowadays. Still if you want to watch a monster movie this can be given a shot.

I'll never forget the time when I was 13 and there were trailers of a new Godzilla movie and I was so looking forward to it because it looked so cool! I was crushingly disappointed because of how fake the creature looked and how he looked so dark and unidentifiable in some shots, then bright orange in other shots.

Godzilla It seems like a parody of the Jurassic Park and that too not funny or in a good way; it's a no go from the first frame to the last even though they may try to make it convoluted, it is not.

So this movies about a giant mutated iguana which decides to stomp around New York for absolutely no reason. After stomping around for a little while it gets scared off by the military. After barely escaping a military assault with it's life, it comes to the brilliant conclusion that New York city is the safest place to start a nest! Hah what an intelligent animal! And then at the end it gets killed by a couple of missiles from a few jets.I sincerely thought that this pathetic;wimpy monster would be canon fodder for Godzilla for quiet some time. And then a worthy opponent would show up towards the end to do battle with Godzilla. BUT GODZILLA NEVER SHOWED UP! Most misleadingly titled movie ever!
