Fatalis Black

As the first major reboot to the franchise, Return of Godzilla was the breath of fresh air the series needed after the dilution that was the later Showa Era. A quite literal return to form for the big G, he's no longer a friend to humanity, but a harrowing omen of it's potential destruction. The cast and practical effects still hold well. My only complaint is the pacing, with the film being a bit of a slow burn (for a godzilla film). In regards to the American Edit, i do wish someone would make a re-edit to include all the best parts of 1985 (IE Raymond Burr) without cutting down on the original movie run time, but that's just me.
