May holy atomic breath rain down on you. Lol Jk jk. Sorry I don't really mean that, but I have been hearing many people compare Kaiju to walking gods so when someone says a holy words I often try to make them seem more religious than they actually are. Hell Mothra's got her own religion. http://chneukirchen.org/tmp/www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Island/2295/

But in all fairness, G98 isn't a bad movie, but I just wouldn't call it Godzilla. When I saw what the big daddy himself did to G98 in final wars it was both funny and awesome to see him show that CGI knock off who's boss. I also hate what it did to Mathew Brodrick, because I am a fan of Ferris Bueller.

As for G14 it takes it's cues heavily from the 1954 original which I also reviewed. And most of that film was more focused on the human reaction to Godzilla than the monster itself. It's creator Ishiro Honda used to be a soldier in WWII when he came home from the POW camp in 1946, he had to go through Hiroshima to get home and bared witness to them still cleaning up the aftermath. You could say G54 was meant to say "Fuck you" to the Enola Gay. But it really shows. One particular scene takes place right after Gojira obliterates Tokyo, there were kids and adult alike in the hospital suffering from various injuries, but more shockingly radiation burns. It was filmed so well, that if you were to splice it into any Hiroshima documentary, it would blend right in. Ever since I seen that I felt haunted by it.
