Netflix is About to Lose a Criminally Underrated Monster Movie That Actually Aged Very Well

The movie Godzilla first came out in 1998 with Matthew Broderick, Jean Reno, and Maria Pitillo in the cast. Although critics didn’t like it – it only received a 20% approval rating – it’s still considered a key film in the American monster movie genre. The story begins with a French government nuclear test that accidentally turns a lizard nest into something monstrous. Years later, a giant lizard appears in New York City, and the government calls in Dr. Niko Tatopoulos (Broderick), an expert in radiation’s effects on animals, to investigate. A large-scale battle between the monster and the military ensues, but Niko soon makes an even more alarming discovery: Godzilla has laid 200 eggs under the city, and they’re about to hatch.
