...I suppose that it depends upon the varied series, and reinventions of the big guy; early on, he was just pissed about being woken up, and it didn't help that the human masses all about him, would out-and-out blantantly shoot him, or try to blow him up, or burn or electricute him...
...later on, despite his lumbering and destructive tendancies, he was deemed as almost a savior and protector of Japan, exhibiting anlmost human qualities (...in some films, he actually talked!!!) with kids cheering in the distance; fortunately, this did not get nowhere near as bad as Godzilla's reptilian neighbor, Gamera, who would not only have kids cheering him on, but also riding him, and shouting out, "Go get 'em, Gamera"...like siking him out against some rampant monster, like a big and obedient dog...
...later on, Godzilla took on the rampant destructive persona, not unlike that of an unstoppable force of nature; it was this appearance, which I found more appealing. It has been said that the creator/director of the original 1954 "Gojira", was inspired by having flown over the terrible destruction of Hiroshima, after the bomb was dropped, and conceived of a creature spawned from the destructive power of the bomb, thus creating a metaphor to the devastating power of nuclear power, and the ensuing weapons created from it...

Godzilla And Friends

Godzilla is the King of the Monsters, and therefore must fight when a new foe comes to Earth or rises from the seas, as in the case of Titanosaurus. In his war against mankind, I think Godzilla is driven more by a need for privacy, and, in the back of his mind, as indicated in Godzilla 2000, Godzilla wanrs to ensure the natural balance will not change. In a simpler answer to this question, Godzilla cares nothing for humanity and thus cannot be classified as friend or foe.(After all, he does destroy Tokyo every now and then.)

I have another theory. When nuclear power/energy/bombs were seen to be a bad thing by the Japanese people, Godzilla was depicted as a foe, and the embodiment of all the bad things which came about with the nuclear age. But, when the Japanese people embraced nuclear power as a so called clean source of energy, Godzilla became a friend, to show that not all things nuclear were necessarily bad. Now that we have had the Fukushima disaster, I expect Godzilla to once again take on a menacing persona.

Actually, he is neither. In most movies they have to go out and find him and bring him to Japan and have him duke it out with the other monster. Basically, he is an unwilling combattent that can't take it anymore and kicks the daylights out of the other monster so that he can go home. He is not a Friend or Foe. He is just there.

It depends, he can be abit of both I guess. Especially if he is destroying a city, while battling a monster.

Dunno. Whenever he's 'protecting Tokyo', it always seems to me that, against other monsters, he's just protecting his turf. Think about it.
