Godzilla's 1998 version was a controversial movie. This movie was too different from the original Godzilla in terms of appearance and ability, and was considered disrespectful to the original Godzilla. It turned Godzilla into a fish-eating dinosaur and was eventually killed by humans with an airplane. This ending was difficult for fans around the world to accept. In addition, the film was also criticized for promoting warism, which was contrary to the anti-war and anti-nuclear demands represented by Godzilla. Although the film had some well-designed details in special effects and plot, it did not succeed in conveying Godzilla's majesty and disastrous atmosphere. As a result, Godzilla's 1998 version was considered a failure by both film fans and critics.
