If I were capable of experiencing shame, I wouldn't admit that I liked the US version of Godzilla. I wept openly when he died on the suspension bridge. The helicopter sequences were great, the taxi bit was one of the most entertaining car chases I've ever seen, and the baby 'Zillas in Madison Square Garden are everything that I've wished the Jurassic Park films could be.

Perhaps one of you can resolve this continuity conundrum for me. Godzilla (1954) is killed by the oxygen device and his skeletal remains are used in the construction of the new MechaGodzilla, yes? So how is the Big G still managing to smash Cardboard Tokyo? Evil twin clone? Second cousin twice removed on his mother's side? Plot hole large enough to drive a Super X through? Enquiring mind wants to know.
