I know we moved on from this topic, but I seriously don't like what the PG-13 rating has done to movies, just in general, not specific to just Godzilla. Having to shoe-horn in what amounts to creative censorship to meet a PG-13 requirement (which is arbitrary) is annoying. Like only being allowed 2 F-bombs, but not in the context of sexual intercourse, being okay with violence as long as their isn't blood or gore, sexual imagery or nudity, but not together, etc. While these elements are OBVIOUSLY not needed for a Godzilla film, the requirements have lead to the same, bland action movies that we've had for the last 20 years since no one is willing to take risks on a big budget movie that isn't 'OK' for tweens/teens to view. "This Film is Not Yet Rated" does a good analysis of this issue.
