Godzilla: Final Disappointment
Demannu at 2-16-2006 2:41 am
I watched Godzilla: Final Wars.
I always lower my expectations a bit when watching Godzilla movies. The effects aren't always the greatest, but they are always enjoyable. This is the first time I've ever truly been disappointed.
What did they want it to be? It was a mixture of Star Trek, Star Wars, X-Men, and The Matrix, filmed in the style of the Power Rangers, with all of the worst parts of every Godzilla movie ever made, thrown in for spice.
There were only two redeeming qualities:
1) The "American Godzilla" made an appearance and was thoroughly humiliated by the superior Japanese model ("I knew that tuna-eating monster was useless").
2) Perhaps the dirtiest phrase ever uttered in a Godzilla movie: "People used to call me 'Mr. One-shot.'"

I actually own this movie - fun stuff. It's cheesy as hell and , unfortunately, has very little screentime for Godzilla himself. The destruction of American Godzilla is cool as is the amount of monsters in it. The rest is shit. I still love it.

But it is disappointing.

Rodan- sonic booming New York was cool.
I like the scene with the cop and pimp.
Captain Gordon was cool.
Minya driving a truck. Did nothing for the plot, but still makes me giggle. It wasn't Godzilla VS Destroyer or Godzilla VS King Ghidorah, but it had its moments.

yeah. It had cool scenes, but taken as a whole, it was disjointed.
