[Battlizer]

This was one of the three Godzilla movies I actually owned on VHS as a kid instead of renting. I've watched it every now and then, since, but one thing's always sort of baffled me...

How smart is Godzilla supposed to be in this movie. I ask because of the scene where he faces down Shindo in his office building and pauses, looking reluctant, like he randomly remembered the soldier he had inadvertently saved fifty years ago and didn't seem to blast him until Shindo said it was okay to.

On a later viewing I wrote it off thinking that couldn't possibly be the case, but when I saw it recently I started to wonder again..
