Also the original Godzilla is much more iconic and famous then any of the movies you mentioned. So to say that this new Godzilla may surpass the original, to me is hard to believe.
Villain: no question Godzilla 2014 has a long way to go to surpass its original. I just take exception to the notion that horror films can't become iconic or memorable because they are re-makes. The films I listed show that it is not not a disqualifying factor for a horror. Same holds true in other media, such as music (e.g., Johnny Cash covering NIN).
