Godzilla goes out with a bang
This is supposed to be the last Godzilla movie for the next decade or so. I was very skeptical, as I have never seen any of the newer Godzillas, but was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed much of the movie and some parts made me remember why I loved Godzilla so much as a kid. The fight scenes were pretty amazing, especially later on in the movie. The special effects have been updated significantly and prodution values were obviously very high. Yes, Godzilla is still a suit, but he wouldn't be Godzilla any other way. It's an amazing feeling watching Godzilla make short work (sometimes too short) of his advesaries. It's an all against one, a la Destroy All Monsters, but much darker and extremely flashy. <

>As much as I was impressed with those aspects of the movie, there were those that just made me cringe with horror. The acting can be especially horrible at times, and the lack of charisma among the lead characters (except the General -- his delivery was extremely cheesy and corny, but he actually became my favorite character) did not help. Story isn't very good, and it seems they tried to tack on a love story, which is not nescessary in a Godzilla film. Speaking of unescessary, the martial arts scenes brought about images of suicide. Okay, they're not that bad, but its just not what people want to see in a movie of this genre. Glad to see them try to add new elements to the series, but maybe this could have waited. <

>Final Thoughts: <
>~Plot: 6 - Nothing very interesting, love story attempt?? weak at best <
>~Presentation: 6 - DVD has few features, acting is good to horrible <
>~Special Effects: 10 - It's not Star Wars or T3, but it has awesome Godzilla effects that make the fight scenes that much more enjoyable <
>~Sound: 8 - Enjoyable at times, and sometimes just average <
>~Action: 9 - Some questionable scenes, and some monsters are defeated too easily, but very well done <

>OVERALL: 8.4 (not an average)

A rip roaring finale to the latest arc of Godzilla flicks.
The hapless Earthlings have finally found a way to keep Godzilla on ice and all seems right with the universe. Then some evil aliens (are there any other kind?) unless a horde of Toho monsters against the cities of the world. A grumpy but well thawed Godzilla proceeds to do battle against those funky names well known to all Godzilla fans: Ghidrah, Rodan, Gigan, Ebirah, Hedorah... <

>For those who weren't fans of the American "Godzilla" movie a reasonable facsimile of that critter, dubbed "Zilla," is thrown against our hero...with very pleasing results to say the least. <
> <
>As Godzilla movies go this is near the top. <

I skipped to the end of the series. Oops.
Godzilla : Final Wars is the latest movie in the Godzilla series aliens come to Earth to save it from all the monsters, such as Rodan, Zilla, Kumonga and so on. The only monsters they seem to miss capturing is Godzilla and Mothra. You'd think they would notice, but maybe they don't have very good information on Earth? <
>Anyway, the UN decides to join the aliens, forming the Space Nations, because the aliens were not just nice enough to capture all the monsters but warn our planet of a upcoming rogue planet that will hit our's soon. We must combine our power to destroy it or it will destroy us. <
>Or will it? Yes, you guessed it, something stinks in the heart of Denmark, well, Japan. The aliens are NOT all what they seem. And the monsters they took have been changed to make them easy to control. Easy for the aliens to control. <
>Now Earth is truly in trouble, as the aliens seem to hold the cards, all the monsters, and lots of spaceships. NOW the fun begins. Godzilla kicks [...] and keeps kicking [...] till the end of the movie. I enjoyed the quick, smooth movements of the monsters, and the background rock and roll music also seemed to fit the new style. <
>The fighting happens all over the world. New York, Paris, and, of course, Tokyo. <
>Oh, yeah, and Minilla is in it. I don't know HOW he got into the film. The ending with him felt kind of weak. I won't take away a point for that but he can be a pest.
