Japanese fans accuse the new 'American' Godzilla of being too fat [View all]

The new trailer for impending summer blockbuster Godzilla finally gives fans a glimpse of the monster in all his glory and some fans have been quick to point out that he is looking a little on the hefty side.

The character was originally created for a 1954 Japanese sci-fi movie and it is fans in that country that has been quick to voice that alarm at the bulkier version on display in the latest Hollywood re-imagination.

Fans on internet forum 2ch had comments such as 'Did he get fat?' and 'That's what happens when all you do is eat and lay around.'

Others commenting described him as 'out of shape', with either 'no neck' or one 'like an American football athlete's.'

One user said simply: 'He's gone Supersize Me,' while another was more forgiving and described him as 'pudgy and cute'.

Some viewers thought he looked like 'a komodo dragon', as another asked if he was 'Sin from Final Fantasy X', and someone explained that he must have become 'beefed up from the radiation at Fukushima.'
