He's baaaack!

After an 8-year hiatus, Godzilla returns to the big screen in 2012.

Since 1954, the Godzilla persona has had a long run in films. Not counting the 1998 US misfire featuring Matthew Broderick, Godzilla has appeared in 28 Japanese-made films.

Maybe it will be better than Emmerich's version.

Undoubtedly. I think they are concious of the faults with that one.

I'm a huge fan of Godzilla (the 54' Japanese original Gojira is one of my favorite flicks).

I'm really looking forward to this, as I think American film makers have learned from the mistakes of the 98 disaster. Also, the list of producers on it are mostly people who have a long history in the franchise.

I gotta say, I like the cheesier 1970's fare the best. But I watch the others too.

Funny thing though, when you watch the films you thought were cheesy before in the Japanese language with accurate subtitles, the cheesy factor seems to evaporate to a large degree. "Son of Godzilla" comes to mind in this regard.

Oh wow, so there are fellow Daikaiju tokusatsu fans here gathering as well? COOL! I love Godzilla and back then, I have Godzilla VS Mothra, Godzilla VS MechaGodzilla and the fail of 1998, Godzilla even though the CGI rocks. Got to love Godzilla for that daikaiju is an epic icon in tokusatsu history.

What IS nice about the G98 DVD are the Japanese trailers to certain of the movies in the series.

I love all of the live-action Japanese SPX films.
