Talk:Godzilla: Final Wars/@comment-31609115-20170329091644

This movie is a seriously mixed bag.

The long, drawn out, awful, action sequences with the human characters in this movie detract from it big time. Seriously, they were terrible. I'm sure there are people out there who like that kind of stuff, but it just felt out of place in a Godzilla movie, especially when the sequences seem to stretch on forever. It also didn't help when it was so obvious what action movies they were ripping off. That was no doubt intentional, but it didn't make it any easier to sit through that stuff.

Also, there was some terrible CGI in this movie. Granted, most all of the Millennium series movies have bits of terrible CGI, but it really seemed to stick out here. The colors in the film were pretty terrible for the most part too. The film just seems to have this muddy unattractive sheen to it.

The Godzilla suit also looks goofy in this one IMO.

That being said, there were some things I liked.

The scene in New York is so hilariously bad that I can't help but enjoy it. While I'm doubtful that most Japanese people view New York in such an exaggerated fashion, I can't help but laugh at the idea that some of them probably do view New York like that(the same way some Americans have an unrealistic view of Tokyo). Definite so bad that it's good material.

I also love Don Frye in this movie. He just has the perfect look for a b movie like this.

Another high point is the look of Gigan in both of his forms in this movie, he really looked awesome. It's too bad that he died in a such a stupid manner.

The movie also gets brownie points for the shade it throws at Zilla. It cracked me up to see the Japanese show us what they really thought of the 1998 American Godzilla. I personally have a soft spot for the movie as a generic monster movie, but we all knew that that wasn't really Godzilla.

Also, while the fights were understandably short(although they could have been longer if it weren't for the stupidly long human action sequences), it was nice to see so many classic Godzilla monsters in one Godzilla movie again.

Overall, it's a bad Godzilla movie, but it's worth a watch for the die hard Godzilla fans. A definite step down in quality from the several Godzilla films that preceded it. I think I like it more than Godzilla vs Megaguirus though.
