Is Godzilla (1998) Blu-Ray worth buying? - Blu-ray Forum

dvdking21 · 11-14-2009, 06:33 PM

I saw this at my local Walmart for about 20 dollars, I've never seen It tho, and I was just wondering If It's worth a blind buy?

Do you enjoy the old Godzilla movies? Do you like movies with monters destroying cities with not much in way of plot and stories? Do you enjoy CGI full movies?

If yes then buy it but my point to you would be, rent it first and see what you think and then decide if it's worth your $20

I like how there's a "should I blind-buy?" thread for literally just about every Blu-Ray that comes out. In the coming few days we'll see them for Galaxy Quest, Gone With the Wind, Rome, The Professional, Bruno, Clerks, Chasing Amy, and more.

I don't quite get this "should I blind buy" movies. You can rent them very easy and check it out and see if it's worth your money. I guess everyone is different and free to do as they wish with their money but it's something I don't quite get.

wait for it on a 9.99/12.99 sale at best buy. it'll likely see those sales pretty soon.

The absolute biggest disappointment of my adult life in watching a movie. I went opening day as a huge Godzilla fan and almost walked out on it. A horrible movie that really has little connection to the classic Godzilla movies. Even on its own terms, a mediocre story. Basically if you have seen one of the Jurassic Park sequels, nothing will be a surprise.

I could not agree more. I am an avid Godzilla collector and thought this movie was just terrible. Some of the older Godzilla films are bad in a good way. This film was simply awful.

When it's $10 or less, I'll bite. For the audio...and that last chase scene in the movie, which is easily the best part of the film.

DO NOT BUY. rent this one. I support blind buys on universally acclaimed movies.

Amazon has it for 16.99. I thought it was decent but I'd wait til the price drops.

I remember NOTHING about this movie other than the Puff Daddy/Diddy song

No. Unless you think OMG BOOM ASPLOSIONS BIG DINOSAUR!!! is super cool then no.

Especially if you like Godzilla movies, this will shame you greatly.
