Surprising Godzilla movie
A very unusual Godzilla film.

It Moves very fast. The monster battles are not like any of the previous films and the human side of the story is as much a focus as the Monsters tale is and surprisingly it is interesting. It works mainly as an adrenaline rush though, it’s cathartic. The “monsters” have a lean, muscular look and move fast- they are not the puffy slow moving beasts of the past.

No long drawn out scenes of endless wrestling, this is more like boxing and Godzilla is the master dispatching them all. No need to be a fan to find it entertaining.

This movie does something similar to what “Aliens” did way back in ’86. It redefines Godzilla as an Action Hero and goes past what any casual viewer might expect. This is a hard core action film that never lets up and leaves you drained.

The main negative is that it cribs way too much from the film “The Matrix”. While Matrix lifted from Asian cinema generously, Final Wars does a Xerox of the copy and in several places has a tin ear regarding some things that are now considered trite and overused the world over.

The movie is just a lot of fun.

Big, loud and cheesy as hell…I wouldn’t change a thing.
Fifty years ago Toho made their first Godzilla movie. It was a very dark and symbolic movie. Despite its age the film still has an eerie quality to it. Godzilla slowly marching through Tokyo leaving nothing but death and destruction to this day sends shivers down my spine. This fantastic film was the first of 28 movies to feature the monster Godzilla. The thing is, over the years Godzilla movies have become a genre of their own. No longer are they dark or violent, rather they are fun and cheesy. This has somehow worked for fifty years and Godzilla is now cemented as a cultural icon.

That brings me to Godzilla Final Wars. This movie is meant to be Godzilla’s last film for at least ten years. Toho has never spent so much on a film and they have never allowed so much madness to make the final cut. This film is essentially a “best of Godzilla” finale. Toho took everything they thought was “cool” about Godzilla and crammed it into two hours of almost nonstop action.

I’ll say right now that this movie is not well made. It’s never going to win any awards for acting or originality. Heck I doubt it will ever amount to anything other than being one hell of a good time. This film has city destruction, martial arts, monster battles, aliens, motorcycle chases, aerial dogfights, shootouts and even gratuitous gore.

Does it have a plot? No, not really. Do I care? Not one bit. Godzilla Final Wars is all about fun and it succeeds in every way. The monster battles are however the main highlight here. They are extremely short but their spectacle can’t be denied. I was shaking with excitement each time Godzilla met face to face with one of his foes. Each battle presented a different type of fighting and they all wind up being extremely memorable.

The sheer brilliance of the battles is perhaps amplified by the fact that many of these monsters haven’t appeared since the 60’s yet here they are in all their redesigned glory. Gigan’s redesign is especially impressive since he’s always been one of my favorites.

Another factor that contributes to the spectacle would be the visuals. They’re not necessarily the best around but are top notch as far as Godzilla movies go. What we have here is a combination of CGI and monster suits that works extremely well together. The power beams, death rays and flames created by these monsters have never looked better.

Monster battles have always proved to be the highlights of past Godzilla films however the best movies were the ones that struck a balance between cool monster fights and interesting human scenes. Final Wars delivers what may be the best human scenes around. These scenes are essentially uninspired Matrix rips (the main character even bears more than a passing resemblance to Mr.Reeves) but they work so well with the movie’s mood. They’re cheesy fun and I even found a few of them to be genuinely well thought out. These are entertaining scenes and couldn’t have been better even if they were taken seriously.

So basically what I’m stressing here is that Godzilla Final Wars is not a good movie by Hollywood standards, however when watched in the right state of mind you’ll find yourself having as much fun as you possibly can with a movie. If this is the last Godzilla movie I can proudly say the big G went out in style. If not well, all I can say is bring it on.
