Godzilla (or Gojira, ゴジラ) is a kaiju. Kaijū (怪獣) is a popular Japanese term referring to monsters, especially giant monsters as portrayed in Japanese fantasy films, more precisely termed daikaijū. The similar term kaijin refers to human-like monsters in related genre.
...
The name "Gojira" is a combination of "gorilla" and kujira, which means "whale" in Japanese.

This will, however, mean the end of the current "Millenium" series of Godzilla films, and it is not specified when the King of the Monsters will return.

See, I loved the actual monster from the American movie... he was everything I'd always wanted from a giant mutated radioactive lizard, at least physically; lean, fast, and mean as hell!! Unfortunately, just like everything Devlin and Emmerich lay hands on, he wasn't taken seriously enough, so basically Godzilla himself looked and moved like a badass, and the rest of the movie sucked, particularly the whole death scene with the bridge.

Oh, and the baby 'zillas? Puh-leez.

If they'd called it a remake of "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" it would have been fine.

Of course, all IMHO.

They say there is strangeness, too dangerous
In our theatres and bookstore shelves,
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves
