I was kinda fond of the "Millennium" suit.
It gave Godzilla that predatory look by lowering his head and thickening his side profile.
The enlarged spines balanced out nicely the requirement of the long neck.


See what I mean?

It seemed as though they were focusing on what the beast should look like rather than the requirements of the actor inside the suit.

I think so...but like I said, those crystal spines just don't look right.

I must admit, though, that I'm a big fan of the Heisei suits. They had a look of unstoppable force and power, and most had a n animalistic (as opposed to anthropomorphic) look that really reinforced the creature's nature.

A close second is the GMK suit, which I feel is the most evil-looking Godzilla ever.

For me, the Heisei always LOOKED like a huge, towering monster. The Millennium suit sometimes looked, well, like a normal-sized guy in a suit. That's one of the flaws of too much surface fine detailing, IMHO.

Neither of the pics above show the new suit's back to advantage, but I'm willing to guess that they reduced the size of the spines a bit.
