Blog:My Top Ten Monster Films Worse than Godzilla 1998

Godzilla 1998 is a movie that has gotten a lot of hate from critics and especially fans of Godzilla. Pretty much a lot of people have torn it to kingdom come. But at the end of day I actually enjoy this film and don't think its the worst monster movie ever. Guys you think this is the worst? Oh please! Its a fun popcorn movie and it gave us a badass animated series. Plus, we have been given far worse over the years, because Godzilla 1998 is The Empire Strikes Back compared to any of these films.

The Thing (2011)


The original film from 1982 is a fantastic sci-fi body horror film with good suspense, likable and memorable characters with good chemistry and excellent practical effects created by a fantastic director, John Carpenter. This movie is a god awful prequel nobody asked for. It tries way hard to scare you with horrifyingly bad and obvious CGI effects. No good characters, created by people who did not understand suspense or horror. The film can't decide whether it's a remake or a prequel.

Pacific Rim: Uprising


Never have I been so disappointed in my life after watching a film like this. This sequel has no reason to exist because the original ended on such a high note and this is a spit in the face of the entire fanbase and the original movie. Mako a character that the fans grew to love from the previous film is abruptly killed off as if she didn't matter and they literally turn Dr Newton (the lovable geeky scientist) into the villain, WTF???

Son of Godzilla


Okay, I have one question to ask? Who on earth thought it was a good idea to give Godzilla a son? While you people can make the argument that, "Well in the 1998 Godzilla film, didn't Zilla have children before they were killed off and wasn't there that last egg that survived and grew up to be Zilla Jr?" Here's a thing atleast Zilla Jr grew up to be a badass, but this pipsqueak with daddy issues is the successor to the menacing Godzilla? Any movie with Son of is always a cash grab.

D-War


Despite its decent special effects and good musical score from Steve Jablonsky. The story uses a very convoluted Korean mythology that would alienate its target audience. Give Godzilla 1998 credit, atleast the story was simple and straightforward. With one dimensional characters and so many plot points that blatantly plagiarises Lord of the Rings. Despite it being called "Dragon War" there is only one dragon and it appears at the very end. This should have been called Serpent Wars.

Alien: Covenant


The movie gives the Xenomorphs way too much backstory which takes away what made them mysterious. There are no good characters in this movie because of all the idiotic mistakes they keep making and I wanted them to die. Give Matthew Broderick credit, at least he wasn't an idiotic character that I wished death upon. David is the villainous android right from the first time we see him on screen.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem


The first Alien vs Predator film wasn't exactly a good film, but it is Pulp Fiction compared to this piece of crap. This was a film with absolutely no identity and no idea on what it wanted to be. It tries way to hard to pay homage to previous Alien and Predator films with horrendous results. They even give them the names of some of the old characters, like main character's name is Dallas. Instead of taking place in a location where we would see the Xenomorphs and Predators fight each, this time they are fighting in suburbia? REALLY SUBURBIA??? And now its up to a team of I Know What You Did Last Summer rejects to save the day. The film is shot in a way that you can hardly see what's going on. Give Godzilla 1998 credit, atleast I could everything that was happening.

The Predator (2018)


As if Alien Covenant wasn't bad enough. Shane Black took a knife and mutilated the franchise to kingdom come. The story is nonsensical, the action is painfully generic, the effects are terrible, the characters are unlikable and the comedy is insufferable. There is also a plot about an autistic kid I don't know.

Alien 3


This literally killed off Newt, Hicks and Bishop in a stupid insulting fashion so the movie could focus on the insufferable prisoners nobody cared for. The story is practically nonexistent and it becomes a complete and utter self parody of itself with no suspense or horror.

Jeepers Creepers 3


As somebody who enjoyed the first two Jeepers Creepers films. I waited a long time for this film to come out and I was excited once it came out. However, I was completely disappointed by it not being a sequel and never revealing the Creeper's origins. This was essentially a wait for a film that was just trolling the audience. With a laughable premise and no scary moments.

Godzilla's Revenge


To all those fanboys who think that Godzilla 1998 is an embarrassment to the franchise are WRONG!!! Because this film is easily the worst thing to ever happen to Godzilla franchise and a complete embarrassment.

Here's a quick question. What would happen if you put Jar Jar Binks and Scrappy Doo in the same movie? You get Godzilla's Revenge. This is a film that tries way too hard to pander to a child audience, it blatantly recycles stock footage from previous Godzilla films, terrible production values, horrendous comedy and awful morals. Ichiro is an irritating little brat who won't shut the hell up and Minilla, who was already a questionable character, is twice as annoying with his stupid ear bleeding voice. Gabara is easily the most pathetic excuse for a villain I have ever seen and don't even get me started on the two bumbling Bank robbers. I would rather watch any movie made by Ed Wood or Michael Bay anyday. This is truly the bottom of the barrel and to hell with this movie.

Yonggary (1999)


This film had a lot of potential to introduce a Korean monster movie to please a western audience. But instead, it ended up being what would have happened if Uwe Boll or The Asylum made a mockbuster of the 1998 Godzilla film. From terrible and laughable CGI and bluescreen effects to abysmal acting and unoriginal story. It calls itself a remake of the original Yongary, but it has absolutely no connection to the original.

Note: This is solely my personal opinion. Don't post hate comments towards me for liking Godzilla 1998.
