I still consider that film just as bad as 98 was.
Maybe but at least Godzilla would have his powers and not die. So it can be called a bad Godzilla film, which is more than GINO can be called which doesn't even have Godzilla, it's just bad.
Funny reason why the 94 script never came was cause it'd be too expensive, irony being the Dean Devil and Roland Emerson ended up making the producation cost for GINO be even more than what the 94 script would have been.
I do have my problems with the 94 script like being made by aliens (the fuck?) but at least he'd still have his nuclear breath, be immune to weapons and fight another monster. And at least he was a dinosaur.
