This is one of the few Godzilla movies where I actually care for the plot. We get to have humans doing all this Kung fu stuff and we get to see Godzilla kick ass in hardcore fashion! I do have to admit the final battle with Monster X dragged on but this movie was still epic and hardcore!

I've only seen Godzilla: Final Wars twice in my life and the very first time I watched it and seen that ball of fire coming to earth, I knew that it wasn't a planet as the Xilions had said it was. I just felt that it was (excuse the pun) more than meets the eye. When Godzilla blasts it and you see that it is indeed a monster, I laughed as I knew who it was right away. If any of you are a monster fan like I am you would've realized that there was only 1 monster that ever came from outer space. you can call it Ghidrah or King Ghidora, but they are one in the same monster. Sure one is green in color and the other is gold in color but when you put 2 and 2 together you get the same monster.

FINAL WARS is a project to celebrate Godzilla's 50th birthday. Some of The King of the Monster's (Godzilla) most deadliest foes are turning up all around the world raising hell displaying their destructive ways. Showing up in places like Paris, Okinawa, Mnt. Fuji, New York City and Shanghai are some of the toughest monsters to battle Godzilla like, Rodan, Angurius, Mothra and Gigan. The United Nations summons help from the Earth Defense Force, made up of mutant fighters, to fight off these monsters. An alien mega-ship arrives to help in the earth's defense; but actually they are controlling the monsters. They need the inhabitants of earth to feed another world of Xilians. A huge monster named Monster X is released. The world seems doomed until a jailed Captain Douglas Morgan(Don Frye)recommends waking up Godzilla from his sleep at the South Pole. For so many years Godzilla spent his energy destroying portions of the world; now he will be enticed to defeat his old foes and the new Monster X to save earth.Subtitled in English. Kudos to director Ryhuei Kitamura and Keith Emerson for the music. Special effects need to be awesome and are.Also in the cast: Masahiro Matsuoka, Rei Kikukawa, Akira Takaranda, Kazuki Kitmura and Maki Mizuno.

Godzilla might be the one character on film with the longest history. It's just like James Bond: it never really dies or ends, it just keeps coming back decade after decade in some new hip style.After twenty-plus Godzilla films, Final Wars presents the last foray in the classic series into the crazy world of rampaging monsters toppling cities (in the same fashion as Die Another Day was the last Bond film of the initial series that went crazy with the gadgets and evil megalomaniacs and such). If nothing else, Final Wars goes all-out in shoving in as much epic action, as many monsters, and as much glorious cheese as it can! And it does so with flash and style! Really, the film is utterly stupid and laughable. The acting is very cheesy (especially when watching it with English dubbing), the action is very over-the-top, the monsters still look fake as hell, and the production overall is as cheap as they come. The film also has a ton of scenes where they tried their best to be modern and cool; you can expect to meet a squad of dudes who twirl around with guns, as if they came from Equilibrium. And, there are car chases and fight scenes galore. Of course, the main highlight is the mass carnage caused by the monsters, and the film doesn't disappoint on that level: in addition to Godzilla, there are also flying bugs, rampaging lizards, and aliens destroying practically every city in the world. A whole gang of monsters from the older films return, including Mothra, Gigan, Rodan, Ghidorah, Ebirah, and so many more! They've even thrown in Zilla, from the much-hated '98 US film in the mix! Godzilla's son appears in all his stupid glory! Oh yeah, it doesn't get much bigger than this! The story's pretty silly, the characters are pretty flat, but what really matters it that it's basically the end-all-be-all war of monsters. The first half of the film sets things up fine and dandy, before all heck breaks lose in the last half. Nothing terribly deep, but it's cool all the same.This film is quite cheesy. It does have fine and dandy photography. Editing can be pretty hectic and erratic (especially during the opening credits scene, which includes some cool clips from the last 20-something movies). Acting and writing are pretty bad. This production has some very cheap-looking sets, props, and costumes. Music is pretty cool.This is the type of kaiju film I find myself enjoying more and more: it's the type that doesn't take itself seriously, and knows how to have a good time. The film moves fast, has loads of action, and has a pretty generous helping of cheese. If you don't mind that kind of thing, then this movie should be a must-see! 4/5 (Entertainment: Perfect | Story: Average | Film: Average)
