Sure it may not be pure Godzilla, but it never tried to be.

Except in the name

And I think this is the crux of the problem and where most of the hate comes from. You can have a good kaiju movie without Godzilla, but can you have a good Godzilla movie without Godzilla? I would argue that no, you can't. I would also argue that the monster from that movie wasn't Godzilla... it was Matthew Broderick. /rimshot

But seriously, a lot less people would have ragged on that movie had they given it a different name, but arguably a lot less people would have seen it if they had given a different name. 🤷

You're right.

I will always believe that it started life as a remake of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms. It's almost the same film except for the Velociraptor rip off section.
