Was there more than one suit for the movie? I mean not just the fact that the fat gut is evident in some shots and not others, he also is in different colors from time to time.

I'm guessing he color differences were due to variations in lighting for the composite shots.

"Bad lighting in the editing department"?

Are you talking about color correction, or are you just attempting to spew pure, unadulterated vertigo out of your mouth?
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Well, if there's malfunctioning monitors in the editing room, it could throw off any color correction they do, or cause them to do unnecessary color correction. So you never know. :P

Ghidorah's costume was awesome, Godzilla's looked like a zombie but was still cool. Mothra's was fantastic, looked more like a moth than a furry squirrel with big eyes. Baragon's was good, considering he was only in 1 (?) movie before it (Destroy all Monsters is all i remember besides non godzilla films) The movie? Awesome, but destructive. 9/10

While mothra isn't on the shit megaguirus was in, she still looked a tad bit stiff for my liking....

You simply cannot beat Mothra from Tokyo SOS. Godzilla in this film had my least favorite look in the entire Millenium era, simply because the suit just didn't have a balanced consistency in my opinion. Sometimes it would look fantastic, and give off a sense of power, weight, and ruthlessness. Other times it would just look plain bad with the lack of a prominent chest, a gut, and Godzilla's big sack of a chin.

I also would have preferred the 54 roar used instead of the Millenium roar, simply because it would have fit ALOT better since this Godzilla is the original reincarnated.
