It really shows how elaborate the production was to bring the creature to life. Though it could have shown more of the details going in to CG portion of the fx, it still gives one an appreciation for the job they did. Patrick Tatopoulos(not stephanopolos like the hack reviewer said who was reviewing the movie and not this book) did an amazing job of using alot of nature references to the creature which made it a visually convincing creation. Something Toho hasn't tried to do from the 70's UP; sinking the franchise all through the 90's.

A must have for all Godzilla fans. Even if you didn't like the movie. It shows you what the creators went through to make there vision come true.

I didn't know animatronics were also used in the film and not just CGI. Very interesting. It gives me an idea.

The text is sparse and typo-ridden, the author does not show a particular grasp of the subject, and the photos are mostly just from the movie, not behind the scenes; further, too many of the photos are murky (this may be the movie's fault). As making-of books go, this is a below-average rush job.

The book is so cool. They say dont judge a book by it's cover..but the cover got my attention. Overall I gave it an 8 because it should have also been directed to younger audiences a little more. It was cool.

The movie was deplorable. How Stephenopolos was allowed to remake Godzilla into a T-rex and still think it was an origninal idea I will never know. Still despite the movie being bad the book is even worse. This was one of the most boring "Making of..." of all time. Despite the boring text, they are accompained by some of the worst, most grainest pictures ever. Both authors should be forced to give refunds to people who bought the book, because they did a horrible job.

It really shows how they made the movie
