Monster Zero x SciFi Japan - Archive Only

Personally, what I took away from the movie was to TURN! 180 DEGREES!

Anyway, I've always liked Final Wars. I don't deny that it's seriously flawed on several fronts - the plot, some of the monster costumes and some overly short fights, to name a few - but its high energy level endeared it to me from the start. I do wish it had given us more of the title character, but I think it at least tried to touch on all the aspects of his character over 50 years, which is nice - city destroyer, defender of Earth, nuclear product, and so on. I do have more fun watching GFW with others than I do alone, however. That's when it really takes off for me.

Eh, there are some parts of this movie I enjoyed, but overall it is a mess. The fact they decided to have a ton of monsters who make short-lived screen appearances is baffling. The script is not a mess, but there isn't much to it. Ghidorah sucks. There are some cool "one-liners" and characters, and I admit the scene with Ebirah is fantastic as is Gigan. But aside from that, I just didn't like this movie. It was Matrix fight scenes splashed with Godzilla and some interesting ideas...
