Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

This movie was promoted as the death of Godzilla, which it technically is. But you didn't really think Toho would just give up the beloved series, right?

A new monster, Destroyah, is spawned from prehistoric mites mutated by the oxygen destroyer that killed Godzilla back in 1954. (No explanation is given as to whether the current Godzilla is a different monster, or if he survived somehow.) The new monster attacks Japan at the same time Godzilla is building towards a nuculear meltdown from the energy he contains. In some ways this movie is a fitting conclusion to the series, with some great effects and monster fights. But the ending sets up a new series of films that never came.
