  Godzilla
Godzilla does more killing and destruction in one visit to a city than all of the street gangs in the U.S. put together in one year, yet most or all of it is due to his mere presence in a city; there is no murderous intent.

Godzilla does not run from the puny attemps of man to destroy him with his insignificant weapons, nor does he run from whatever opponent monster is in his path.

Godzilla movies showed us a fantasy world where gigantic monsters were an everyday fact of life and the struggle between good and evil routinely caused catastrophic property damage, and because they were uniquely Japanese, there was an alluring and mysterious quality that made Hollywood's vintage giant monsters just plain dull by comparison.

Once again, I wish to point out that all comments are based on the American version of the movie, having not seen the original Japanese version, whose title roughly translates as GODZILLA'S COUNTERATTACK.
