I personally am a HUGE Godzilla fan, I've seen all 28 Japanese Godzilla films and can see how people can hate this being called Godzilla. However, I always go into movies with open minds and closed comparisons, I went in this movie to watch it as a movie, not to debate on how much it was or was not like Godzilla in Japan.

I felt this movie was done in something obviously very risky: making Godzilla realistic. It's not always easy to sell to Americans that you got a monster that can't be killed at the end of the film, Godzilla has been pretty much become immortal in his film series so they had to make it a bit easier to swallow. I thought the film had a great cast and an EXCELLENT musical score. The chasing sequence with the helicopters was amazing and really well shot.

The only thing I honestly, really disliked about the film was the fact Godzilla didn't breath fire and instead breathed this nitro based gas that ignited when fire struck it. I seriously didn't think having him breath fire would have been too much to ask. The cartoon series kicked just as much ass, I loved the show and it had some REALLY original monsters.

Not to mention mad props for actually bringing back the movie Godzilla to life as a cyborg in creating an excellently recreated "Destroy all Monsters" set up. I didn't mind the fact they called this creature Godzilla, it's just another version of him, doesn't mean that it makes him evil for having the same name.

Spider man in India has a skirt like carpet on his outfit, and in Japan he drives a high tech race car and a super robot. Different packaging, same product (more or less). I also know personally that Japan does NOT totally hate Godzilla 98 because they incorporated 98's Godzilla into the Japanese Godzilla movie series TWICE.

Once by a verbal reference in "GMK: Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidorha all out attack", and actually appearing AND facing Japan's Godzilla in a battle in Godzilla's (to date) last film "Godzilla Final wars".
