Godzilla To Retire (for now)

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the taste-for-skyscraper-sated dept.

ackthpt writes "CNN is reporting that Toho, after 50 years and 28 films, will be retiring Godzilla (Gojira in Japan) after this years film. Toho has thought of retiring the venerable monster before, but after pulling the stops to make a special Best of Best this may be it (but you never know, particularly if it draws large audiences)"

    I'm a bit of a fan of Godzilla, but there are so many Godzilla movies that now the whole idea has been cheapened. The worst part is none of them are really that good. Some are just really bad. The original was bad as well, but that kind of added to it's charm. When you have 28 bad films, the joke is not too funny anymore. I hope Godzilla stays on the shelf until it's really ready to come back.
