What do you think? A number of those I put in as joke though there's a few (somewhat) valid arguements. I'll vote later.

There's nothing good about the US "Godzilla" - it's everything I hate about Hollywood films: The removal of Fantasy, the Japanese films are pure fantasy and you take each one as it comes - the US one tries to justify everything that's happening by trying to force realism - it doesnt work. I hate the way they always tell stories from the POV of people you couldnt care less about (watch the recent AvP to see what I mean)

Japanese Gojira is a lovable anti-hero, the US Godzilla doesnt capture the character at all - and I absolutely CANNOT WAIT to watch Gojira pwn him! >=]

If you havent checked out Gojira x Mechagojira 2003 YOU SHOULD!!!

I give credit to the US Godzilla movie for reviving interest in the character for a number of people. That it also indirectly led to the franchise being kick-started again so quickly after they had planned on taking ten years off after Godzilla vs Destroyer also amuses me.

The idea of an American Godzilla isn't necessarily bad but I don't think Emmerich and Devlin understood even the basics of what makes Godzilla work. Yeesh, that was a lousy movie.

The US Godzilla Movie was terrible. You don't fire normal Missiles to kill Godzilla, you have to invent an Oxygen Destroyer, a String that can't break, Missiles with drilling Capabilities, MECHAGODZILLA etc. Not to mention, no major character other than Godzilla died in the Movie. The CGI was good, Jean Reno was the best thing about the Movie, and the cartoon it spawned was better than the Movie. As a Movie itself, it wasn't that bad, but I just don't see it as a Godzilla Movie.

Sorry, my hatred of the US Godzilla Movie will not allow me to vote on the Poll. I'll just sit back and wait for Gojira to kick his Ass in Final Wars.

comparing Original and US Godzilla is like comparing a man in a rubber apple suit to a cg orange

they're both doing very different things

the movie was servicable and i for one liked the cartoon and the revised design

The Taco Bell promotion got me a nice set of huge plastic drinking glasses. For this, I am thankful, but I still thought the movie was a worthless pile of shit.
