Can’t quite put my finger on what was wrong with the new Godzilla, it may have been that it didn’t follow the idea of the original, and I thought the little Godzilla’s were OTT, one or two would’ve have been acceptable, but hundreds…nah.
And killing Godzilla at the end seemed wrong, it’s difficult to say as to whether I preferred Godzilla as a menacing 400 ft lizard or as the protector of man. I think Toho realised that even when Godzilla was bad people cheered him on, so maybe they decided to turn him into the good guy for that reason.
It was probably difficult for the new Godzilla makers, it would have made the film less dramatic if they chose the campier version and less convincing, but then the new one just seemed like another dinosaur from Jurassic Park, all in all, I think they lost the essence of Godzilla, and what made him appealing in the first place.
