I really like the Godzilla suit in this movie. The body is a throwback to the slim figure of the '60s and '70s, the head strikes the perfect balance between the two '50s suits and the standard Millennium face, and the dorsal fins return to the shape from the Heisei series but with the size propotions of the Showa era. One of the things that bugged me the most about the other Millennium series suits (except GMK) was that their slightly hunched-over posture made them look shorter than other Godzilla incarnations. This Godzilla has a tall, imposing form, and the thinness and flexibility allowed Tsutomu Kitagawa to deliver his most lively performance in the role. I also really like the shaded eyes. They compliment the overall look.
