Look, you're wrong. I wasn't criticizing Rhindle personally, I don't even
know who he is. If you take the time to look again you'll see that my
intent is to point out that one man's garbage may be another's treasure.
I've seen negative reviews of GMK. Sure, why not? No one likes
everything. It's how you handle a review, especially a negative one, that
counts. For one thing, GMK does not look like it was edited by a first
year film student. It was, in fact, edited by Isao Tomita, a very
competent and respected film editor with over 24 features to his name. He
was even given an event in his honor in Fukuoka just two weeks ago (he
died of cancer last year). So, this does little to establish the
credibility of the review.
Speaking of credibility, I find it silly that the editor and self-
proclaimed leader of western Godzilla fandom continues with his tirade
against GMK. By constantly employing a double standard he not only puts
his stance on all other Godzilla films into question, but completely
destroys any momentum to unify the genre. It's obvious to all but the
most dense that there is more at work here than just the dislike of a
single Godzilla entry, which is fine. No one's going to change that. So
why not just keep it to yourself. Or grow up. Whichever is easier.
