French nuclear tests irradiate an iguana into a giant monster that viciously attacks freighter ships in the Pacific Ocean. A team of experts, including Niko Tatopoulos, conclude that the oversized reptile is the culprit. Before long, the giant lizard is loose in Manhattan as the US military races to destroy the monster before it reproduces and it's spawn takes over the world.

What are critics saying?
50
Size really is about all that this tedious, underpopulated beanbag of an epic has going for it.
38
ReelViews by James Berardinelli
The script isn't just "dumbed down," it's lobotomized.
60
Despite all the flash and filigree, this monster movie is curiously -- and conspicuously -- lacking in heart.
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.
90
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
An expertly designed theme park ride of a movie that packs nonstop thrills.
10
Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector
Overlong, neither funny nor scary movie about a big lizard.
0
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Rick Groen
Watching inept American actors and wishing they were badly dubbed into Japanese isn't any fun at all.
38
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
A big, ugly, ungainly device to give teenagers the impression they are seeing a movie.
