There was a time, in the 80's-early 90's when Godzilla films were always on TV. I taped a few at the time, cus I was a huge Godzilla fan. Where has he gone since?
I have realised that I haven't even seen half of the films they have made - 28. 'Godzilla' 98, 'Godzilla' original and 'King Kong vs Godzilla' are available, but I'm desperately waiting for them to release the lot. When?
People want them! Hurry Up! Why does America get everything?

This will keep you grinning all the way through it, its has everything you want in a Godzilla film - lots of action, lots of monsters, and lots of humour. (Especially when Godzilla dismissively defeats the American version and the evil guy says `I knew it was rubbish!')

The effects are not bad, and the acting, though cheesy at times, is pretty good, way better than the appalling Yank version. It rips off countless other films for certain scenes, but who cares, they all work. This actually has some not bad Matrix style martial arts in it, which was a nice suprise.

The inclusion of `minizilla' was pretty pointless and corny, but doesnt ruin 2 hours of fun. Highly recommended!

Celebrating the anniversary of the Big G in real style, i don't think i have seen a movie that is as simply entertaining in a long time, two hours just flew by. Essentially a jazzed up variation on Destroy all Monsters (Aliens control monsters, unleash monsters, humans fight back), Final Wars steals outrageously from every major US sci-fi film of the last fifteen years including The Matrix and Independence Day, but given the amount of ideas Hollywood has pinched from Japanese cinema i'm not really complaining. The monsters, all 15 of them are all given some great scenes, and look as good as they have ever done, Toho obviously spent some money on this monster bash and the film benefits from the great suit and set work, Big G himself doesn't show up properly until halfway through the picture, but is given a great entrance and is as mean and tough as ever.
Trying for something different this time, prog rocker Keith Emerson contributes to the score which kicks off with a beefed up version of the classic Godzilla theme and throws in typical synth beats and vocal work, it's not typical of a Godzilla film but it suits this film perfectly.
There is even a brief moment of reflection as Godzilla's rage is explained, and we hark back fifty years to what started this all in the first place, as i said at the start as a fan you will struggle to find a film that is as purely entertaining as this, it also features the most wicked cinematic in-joke at the expense of Godzilla's US counterpart that is worth the price of admission alone!

This is a fantastic film!

There are some great special effects in this film but it is the bad special effects that make this film so good. the film could have been done with all cgi monsters and high grade effects but instead they chose to keep the feel of the old Godzilla films and remain true to the films origins.

this is a worthy modern version of some classic films and a must see for any fans of the big lizard (If only for the brilliant way the film digs at the hollyword version).

ROARRR!

Godzilla at its finest!

This has everything a Godzilla film could have - more monsters than you can shake a plastic Godzilla figure at!

There is a blatant rip off of the Matrix fight scenes in this films - but you don't mind this style being 'borrowed' considering the Hollywood treatment of Japans best known giant creature.

Speaking of which - the CGI Hollywood "GINO" appears in this film and promptly gets squidged by the real Godzilla. This was a nice move that we fans appreciate - especially with the comment in the film that that monster was once mistaken for the actual Godzilla.

This film shows how suitmation and models of cities can create a fantastic range of effects, just use a bit of imagination. This film is fun, stylish, and very enjoyable.
