Did you see the 2006 film _Gamera the Brave_? I got to see it at a small Godzilla film festival and it was really pretty good.

Sadly, no I haven’t. But when I get a chance, I will.

It seems hard to make an intelligent or thought provoking movie about giant slow moving monsters when the solution seems so obvious. Propelled explosives from a distance. Every military is stocked to the gills with the stuff so it’s difficult to imagine a massive reptile being much of a problem.  
Unlike something like Tremors where resources were limited and they really needed to come up with a strategy to fight the enemy.  
If I have to watch another army man unload his AR-15 300 yards away from Godzilla’s leg I’m going to die.

I’m not going to say the guy with the AR-15 has a chance, but don’t try to apply logic to Godzilla in that manner.

If he’s got to live in normal physics world where artillery and such would be effective, you wouldn’t need them. You’d just have to figure out how to get him off the beach after he collapses and dies. There’s no way he can support himself out of the water.

Nope, in a world where Godzilla can exist, I expect he could survive a Fat Man sized fission bomb, at least.

ETA: I mean, come on, he’s got nuclear breath!

He would not only survive a nuclear bomb, he’d be strengthened by it.
