Because it was Anguirus's first appearance, 'nuff said. :P
In all seriousness though, it wasn't my favorite G-flick ever, but I didn't think it was as bad as I had heard going in. The constant narration grated on me a little, but overall it was a fine entry in the franchise and it did have its moments. I especially liked how the random prison riot messes up the whole plan towards the end, it made the world of Godzilla feel more alive, like the universe doesn't just stop whatever it was doing whenever a giant lizard shows up. I have only seen it once though, so I'm probably forgetting some other highlights.
