If not for this one Godzilla would have never been reborn into the more destructive Godzilla, who doesn't do cute little dances when he defeats an enemy. Yes, this one was mainly made to reinvent Godzilla as one bad destructive monster rather than the one that helped man for no apparent reason. This one awakens and of course proceeds to destroy Tokyo. For some reason they felt the need to splice in Raymond Burr footage that is not part of the Japanese cut and adds nothing to the flick. The reason I don't like this one is that I have always preferred to see Godzilla fight something, anything rather than just toy tanks and stuff. Of course, everything that gets thrown at him is tossed aside like the toys they are and the Japanese have to devise another more tricky way to kill him. To bad he isn't like the American version...they could take that one out with a pistol.
