Okay, you just lost all credibility of being a Godzilla fan with that one. 😆
That's the 1998 Godzilla starring Matthew Broderick. There's so much wrong with that movie and Toho has distanced themselves so far from it that they and their fans call it GINO (Godzilla In Name Only).
This comes from the wiki:
In 2004, Toho later recognized the creature as a character apart from Godzilla and officially rebranded and retrademarked it as "Zilla" for later appearances. This decision was made by producer Shōgo Tomiyama and Godzilla: Final Wars director Ryuhei Kitamura because they felt Emmerich's film "took the God out of Godzilla” by portraying the character like a mere animal. The name "Zilla" was chosen for the character by Tomiyama as a satirical take on counterfeit Godzilla products that use "Zilla" as a suffix. The character has since become a part of Toho's Godzilla franchise.
