To Dean From a Fan

[Lance Ashley (Pumpkinhead)]

I hope you get this message Mr. Devlin. I have actually always dreamed of telling you what I thought about the film GODZILLA that you did, and thought it was impossible until I found this site! <BR> <BR>I'll keep it short. <BR>I loved Godzilla! I have been a Godzilla fan since birth and I wasn't a bit dissapointed with Godzilla 98. <BR>I loved the new look. It kept to G's original style with the spikes, roar, and size, while being unique and different. It was Godzilla, just reborn. <BR> <BR>I don't understand when people complain about the movie and about G's new look. <BR>It was always meant for Godzilla to be as menacing and realistic as possible, something the Japanese couldn't quite capture (atleast most american audiences didn't buy it). <BR> <BR>Sure, the story in it wasn't Citizen Kane, and I believe you have mentioned that you weren't completely satisfied with the script, but it was much more rich than the earlier G movies. <BR> <BR>Not to say I don't like the original movies, I love them, it's just that I love your Godzilla too. A wonderful action movie. <BR> <BR>It's filled with ground breaking visuals, so stunning, that they gave me goosebumps! And that's what I got and more. <BR>I have more memorbilia to this particular film than any other film out there! <BR> <BR>I was at a Barnes and Noble awhile back looking at comics. A fellow sci-fi fan and I got to talking about Godzilla. Godzilla 98 came up and he said "I don't understand why some people didn't like that! It was awesome!" <BR>"I totally agree, it was great!" I replied. <BR> <BR>I feel the film is very underrated. <BR> <BR>And I don't know if you hear that often. So I thought I'd put my 2 cents in. <BR> <BR>You are one of the best filmmakers ever. <BR> <BR>Lance
