Godzilla and Peter Jackson
Am I wrong or does someone need to talk Peter Jackson and Toho into making an old school Godzilla?

Honestly....No, I want Peter to get back to making smaller more intimate films as he said he had a desire to do. Big is fine but I hope he has another Heavenly Creatures in him...and I know he does.

Doesn't have to be PJ but the original film really deserves a GOOD remake. Something that still takes place in Japan in the 1950's. Modern day NYC ruins the WWII sense to the character.

No studio would greenlight that this soon after the 1998 debacle.
Peter's next movie (Directing) will probably be The Lovely Bones.

Peter needs to do some original work now.
 
Lo, there do I see my mother, and my sisters, and my brothers, Lo, there do I see the line of my people, back to the beginning, Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, In the halls of Valhalla,where the brave may live...

^ Completely agree. After adapting the three LOTR books and remaking KK, time to do something real creative. Not saying what was done wasn't creative...it's just not original, let's put it that way.

There's a big difference between King Kong and Godzilla. Just because there has been a King Kong vs. Godzilla movie doesn't mean that the movies of the individual characters should be put on the same level. I think Godzilla is "beneath" Peter Jackson, because while the original King Kong was an excellent movie with a great story, the same cannot be said for a Godzilla movie. I have only seen one Godzilla movie (Godzilla vs. Mothra), and it was one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen, and I seriously doubt any of the Godzilla movies are much better. I think Godzilla movies are loved because some consider them "cheesy fun", ignoring their lackluster stories, goofy acting, and inept special effects, because they find those qualities endearing.
King Kong (1933), on the other hand, is a classic. I can completely understand why the 1933 version of King Kong (I haven't seen the 70s version) is so revered, but the fandom for Godzilla seems silly to me, since I thought the Godzilla movie I saw was so horrible that it was almost unwatchable. I was not charmed by its awful special effects, and while I admit that some of the ridiculously over-the-top acting amused me a little bit, for the most part, I found it annoying.

In this you would be wrong. Many (and I am one) consider the original Godzilla (Gojira in Japanese) to be as serious a movie as King Kong. It was | |
