HAHAHAHA!! How? How possibly did this man redeem himself? Because he wouldn't blow up the car like he was supposed to, because he didn't want to kill the wife and little kids? Hardly. He died a wreck of a man, and he was never that great to begin with. Coke sells itself. Ain't like he was winning awards for Best Salesmenship or something.

I think it was Godzilla 2000 where he finishes off the other monster, then continues to trash the city as the movie ends. That's pretty much how every movie of his should end.
He's a walking natural disaster, not a bouncer.

Godzilla has never had a film where he "redeems" himself after being a jerk. He either is, or he isn't. In GMK, he's like a fiery demon from hell.

Professor Snape in the HP series. Malfoy too.
The blonde assistant in 'The Incredibles.' Drawing a blank on her name.
Nameless in Hero (2003 Jet Li movie).
And for a real stretch, Leader Desslok in 'Star Blazers'.

I've never thought that Godzilla was a bad guy, even when he was "attacking." Taking what they explain in 2000, I realized why he was always destroying the cities in Japan. He lived near there and knew that the space monster/ufo was going to come out eventually because it wanted to suck up all the power and information. So, Godzilla kept trying to destroy the power stations and sources of information so that the people would be more protected. Makes sense.

Egad, enough with Godzilla!
How about the underestimated Hero, where Dustin Hoffman admits grudgingly that he was the one who saved Geena Davis from the burning airplane. Hoffman was a greedy, self-serving asshole the whole movie, but he redeems himself at the end, allowing Andy Garcia to save face after lying and taking the credit for being the "hero."

Ok, lets talk Ghidora!
In Godzilla vs Ghidora (90's), the humans use Ghidora to fight Godzilla. Early in the movie Godzilla fights Ghidora & kills him. Future people find Ghidora's body and turn it into Mecha-Ghidora, take him back in time and beats Godzilla by taking him away from Tokyo.

^ Wasn't as good as Godzilla Against Gorgo: All Your Bases Are Belong To Us! but it had its moments.

Sybok in Star Trek V. I don't think he was truly a 'bad guy', but he was an antagonist. "Your pain is deep share it with me!"
