Movie review: Godzilla

Now there’s been enough said about the embarassing quality of this movie, so I will refrain from thrashing it some more (except to state that it is, in fact, a terrible, terrible movie). Instead I’d like to focus on whatever it is that Matthew Broderick thinks he is doing all through the entire 140 minutes of wasted film.

Of course, it is unfair to compare anything Matthew does to his stellar and hilarious performance in the infamous Day Off. But puh-lease! At least try to *act*! His acting in Godzilla is wooden, his lines lame and delivered without conviction, his love interest in Maria Pitillo (she of the utter lack of talent) unbelievable, his so-called science laughable. I hope we can blame the director for Matthews terrible performance, but I’m afraid that it is simply time for Mr Broderick to try his hand at a different career.
