The old Japanese Godzilla" films may have had cheesy special effects and hilarious costumes, but at least they were capable of portraying Godzilla as the the monster it as supposed to be. And the old filIrt. completely lacking in technology, were exactly the way "Godzilla" was mrerint to be seen, Unfottunately, in this day and age, good stories and plotlines are at best only a minor concern and at worst thrown out completely. Catering to audiences svho lsatl to be dazzled for two and a lhalfhours by impressive special effects has tak precedence. But "Godzilla" does not dazzle, as special effects alone cannot carry the movie. There is only so much that can be done with "Godzilla." The way this movie was presented, even Will Smith couldn't save "Gsodzilla" from being a disappoint- ment.
