Storyline
When a freighter is viciously attacked in the Pacific Ocean, a team of experts -- including biologist Niko Tatopoulos and scientists Elsie Chapman and Mendel Craven -- concludes that an oversized reptile is the culprit. Before long, the giant lizard is loose in Manhattan, destroying everything within its reach. The team chases the monster to Madison Square Garden, where a brutal battle ensues.

Trailer
Reviews
90
An expertly designed theme park ride of a movie that packs nonstop thrills.
60
Variety
Despite all the flash and filigree, this monster movie is curiously -- and conspicuously -- lacking in heart.
50
Slate
Size really is about all that this tedious, underpopulated beanbag of an epic has going for it.
40
The year's most eagerly anticipated green-eyed monster finally rears its ugly head, not with his trademark radioactive roar, but a deafening yawn.
38
Chicago Sun-Times
A big, ugly, ungainly device to give teenagers the impression they are seeing a movie.
