Movie Reviews of Godzilla - Final Wars
Movie Review: Monsters, Monsters, and More Monsters
Summary: 5 Stars
This remake of the classic Destroy All Monsters maintains the wonder of all those monsters but is darker in nature. Monsters are springing up all over the place attacking civilization. Then aliens arrive and eliminate the monsters. Are they our saviors or something much worse?
Eventually the truth about the aliens is learned and all out war ensues. The monsters return and it is up to a small group to go to Antarctica and release the imprisoned Godzilla. Hopefully Godzilla will handle the monsters while the people can handle the aliens. Monster mayhem ensues.
This movie is far better than Tokyo SOS. We see Manda in a more active role than previously as well as a number of other monsters from the early years of Godzilla. We even see the American Godzilla and an upgraded Gigan. There is a montage that shows Godzilla through the ages. The only thing I didn't like was seeing King Seesar as a villain. Seeing the alien leader have fits when things don't go right was almost priceless. All in all this is the Godzilla movie that really delivers what all the hype promised. Check it out.
Movie Review: Godzilla, the Last Kaiju Standing
Summary: 5 Stars
The film can be viewed with original japanese language or american dubbed. It is good that Sony pictures gives the viewer that option.
Extras include: -previews of other Godzilla films that are available
(mostly from the "Millenium" series)
The battle scenes are enjoyable but some of the Godzilla pairings against other monsters is short and disappointing ie., Godzilla vs. American Godzilla, Godzilla vs. giant insect(forgot name)-looks like a wasp/bee to name a few. The movie concentrates an awful lot on the xliens than the monsters and their battles itself. This may be disappointing to fans who really want to see more of the kaijus.
The fighting sequences between the mutants-persons who posess the "M" gene and later the lead mutant character against the xliens and their eventual leader appear to be very "matrixy." These subplots detract from the main feature-our beloved kaijus.
All in all, "Final Wars" is a very entertaining, no holds bar, out with a bang ending for Godzilla. Until 2012 that is...
Movie Review: KING of the Monsters!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Godzilla film that all of us fans have all been waiting for. While the plot seems to be stereotypical for Godzilla films, it is nice to see the Big G make quick work of almost every monster that appeared in his early films. And most of them are there as well as a few others. There are also plenty of scenes that pay tribute to those early films and to other science fiction films as well.
My favorite part of the film is GINO's (Zilla in FW) demise. The monster everyone loves to hate makes his first appearance early in the film as monsters begin to ravage the globe. GINO (Godzilla In Name Only for those unaware of the anagram) is shown crashing through the streets of Sydney and causes more destruction in about a minute then it did in New York (one of the reasons the US Godzilla film failed). Later on when East meets West GINO is dispatched quickly with a tail whip and a blast of fire from "The Real Godzilla" much to everyone's delight.
The film once again establishes Godzilla as "The King of the Monsters" which is where he belongs.
ROCK ON GODZILLA!
Movie Review: Godzilla's Number One
Summary: 5 Stars
This is it! Rated by most Godzilla fans as THE ONE TO GET! In my top five best Godzilla movies ever made. Excellent special effects and costumes. Much more Karate action oriented with hand to hand galore! Power Rangers meet Godzilla would be a good description. ALL PAST MONSTERS, including the one "pretender" version in the movie starring Matthew Broderick, are brought back in this ALL-OUT WAR! I hate to be a "spoiler", but Godzilla trashes most of them but guess what, aliens now invade and the Earth special forces, shall I say, combine forces with Godzilla to try to defeat Ghidorah and the aliens. This movie has the most action of all Godzilla movies with better special effects than most. UFC, PRIDE, and IFL fans will easily recognize the main human character, which I will not give away(I cannot give away TOO much;that would spoil the movie). His nickname is the "Predator" and he likes his food Fryed(not a mispelling) is a hint. I'm shutting up on the rest. Worth more than you are paying for it in some countries. If you are a Godzilla fan, this is a MUST HAVE!Movie Review: Great to pay homage of 50 years of our favorite monster
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is really great. It shows godzilla as what he is, the king of the monsters. This is my kind of godzilla movie. Rock & techno music (I wish they could get bands like metallica,megadeth,iron maiden, ect),Humans aren't boring and do some matrix style fighting,a cool american,clasic monsters, godzilla beating the tire out of monsters with no effort whale still having a challenge at the end, gigan's chainsaw arms,anguirus's thunderball attack, and lots of other things. One thing I find very Hypocritical of the g-fandom on this movie is when they complain of not that much monster action. I can name off several kaiju movies that have less monster action then this movie and is still well loved. Here are a few.
