Godzilla. The 1998-ish version.
Was that movie praised?
It was not.
It wasn’t critically praised, but it did almost triple its budget with its worldwide gross.
It also got a shit ton of attention for that stupid Puff Daddy song with Jimmy Page.
I’d say this film fits the thread perfectly, if you consider profit to be high praise.
Not that I remember and I saw it in the cinema. Soundtrack was decent though.
You may have got me there. It was overhyped. So. Much. Merchandise. It drew people to the cinemas too, at least where I live. I do not remember whether it was actually praised though.
BTW: I hated the sound track. Anything with Puff Daddy or whatever he tries to call himself nowadays should not exist. Most lazy music ever.
It wasn’t critically praised, but the film did almost triple its budget with its box office gross.
I think that puts this film in the overrated hit film category.
Godzilla, pure f-in filler, keep your mind off the real killer
