Goofs:
Factual errors: The AH-64 Apache helicopter does not have a machine gun mounted on its "chin". The gun it carries is located underneath the cockpit. Also, the muzzle flash from the gun if mounted on the side would interfere with the pilot's and the gunner's night vision.See more »

I've had enough, 2 December 1998
Author: Agony from Canada

Alright, I've had enough. Godzilla was a GREAT movie, and I'm just sick and tired of all the critics and others who view the movie as a complete disaster due to its lack of a story and other problems.

Personally, I don't care. The movie, from day one was meant to be just a big effects laden action movie. It's just for fun. I understood the story. The movie should just be viewed as a fun, blow everything up in your way movie. Don't be so hard. Sit back and enjoy.
