Despite Hollywood's attempt to transform GOJIRA into some stupid new- age environmental parable, and give THE BIG GREEN GUY a feminine side, the Japanese remain true to the spirirt of Godzilla.Toho went back on their agreement and released Godzilla 2000, mainly to show their displeasure with the Hollywood version.
Godzilla will always be a guy in a rubber suit, will always destroy Japanese cities and will always inadvertently save Japan from untold monsters and alien bad guys.
It's about traditional values and icons. What is it now, 25 movies since 1953 ? Same premise, same big box office in Japan, same fun watching Godzilla stomp on some models as you had 30 years ago.
Go Gojira! Take out Tokyo!
