I think a better way to put it, is I would like the sentimentality taken out. I don't want a feel good treatment of Godzilla. I would like some of that hard realism that Jaws had to permeate this subject matter. Quint was disliked by everyone,why, because he was very dislikable? And he kept that persona until the end. They killed a little boy and showed a very powerful scene with the grieving mother that put the hero in a negative light. ( knew they had a shark attack before the boy was killed). There was little sentimentality at all in it. I know we are talking about a giant lizard, but it's had the goofy send up and the Hollywood send up, it would be nice to see a mature send up sans the Fast & Furious version.
