Godzilla Final Wars Review

Godzilla Final Wars is reportedly the last of the Godzilla movies. A group of mutant earthmen have joined forces to protect the world against monsters. An alien force collects the monsters that have started attacking around the globe. The alien force, mutants and most of the monsters have genetic similarities, so the alien force is able to control them. The aliens plan to use humans as food.

The monsters are great. The twin fairies of Mothra show up. Cities are destroyed left and right. Ryuhei Kitamura, director of Versus, also directed this one and gives it a much more frenetic, driving pace. Kazuki Kitamura is great as the bad guy with his heavy brows and he throws great tantrums.

I don't remember seeing any blood in this movie. I can't remember any deep quotes. I did laugh, though and I didn't fall asleep even though it was pretty late.

I'll give it 3.5/5 acorns. It was a lot of fun.
