Looks like you named more than one "problem" that you had with the film.

As you readily admit, this isn't the only Godzilla film in which Godzilla himself doesn't get as much screen time as other characters... I have no problem with this because when it comes to Godzilla I like the less-is-more approach. That way, when we actually see Godzilla in action, it's special.

It's obvious (see the scenes after the ending) that the film was edited down. I'd like to see a director's cut version. I imagine Godzilla fans would be much more satisfied, then.

I think this approach was just fine for the 50th anniversary. However, it could have been even more special with more Godzilla footage.

Toho chose wisely because I think it was exactly what they were looking for. I don't believe for a minute that they would hire someone to just do their OWN thing. Unlike the deal they cut with the US versions, they keep complete creative control over the Japanese product. I think you jump to too many conclusions about the director. Sure, he's a well-known director of martial arts films, but at the same time he has admitted to being a Godzilla fan (apparently his favorite Godzilla film was Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla... And his favorite kaiju was King Caesar... which explains that kaiju's "extended" appearance in the film).

And you think he "shoehorned-in" the mutants vs. aliens plot? Remove all that & the film would have been the shortest Godzilla film ever.

And your last paragraph is pretty much where you decided to name other problems you had with the film, so you kind of contradict yourself about your intentions, but that's no biggie.

And your shitty English is just fine! ;)
