The culture that produced movies like "Godzilla meets Mothra" is indignant about Hollywood taking license with reality?
This is also the country that gave us directors like Kurosawa.
Comparing total fantasy movies with one depicting "real" things isn't quite a fair comparison. However one would think the Japanese could appreciate a stylized and fictionalized version of reality.
Actually movies like Godzilla gives the Japanese the impression that they have a military with a mission (did you ever see some of the weapon systems displayed in Godzilla movies). Just like James Bond movies give Brits the impression that they are a major world power on par with the US and USSR.
