Now SHIN GODZILLA IS MY all time FAVORITE MOVIE...i HAVE WATCHED IT least 29 times!!
TO me SHIN GODZILLA is the KING OF THE MONSTERS!...LARGER than any previous monster and twice as destructive with his lazer like Beams emitting from his body! Great soundtrack as well, to me it was BRILLIANT! Japan also gave it many awards! Shin Godzilla was unstoppable..

Godzilla is a JAPANESE icon - Tokyo is to Godzilla what NYC is to King Kong.
Having Godzilla destroying Manhattan (1998) and San Francisco (2014) were idiotic decisions.
