Godzilla Final Wars
 

Bought this at the grocery store for 10 bucks, and I fucking love it. 15 monsters in this sumbitch. Even the american godzilla. Unfortunatly a lot of time is spent on the human characters. Way too much time. But on the bright side, they are superhuman kung fu fighters. And also, UFC hall of famer Don Frye is a main character. So that's awesome too. Even so, would have liked more time for the monster fights.

BUT what there is, is fucking awesome. And Gigan is a hardcore motherfucker.

This makes me want a current gen godzilla game, with all the monsters from the entire toho library.

What monsters does it feature? Biolante and Megalon were always personal favourites of mine.

No biolante or megalon.

You liked the plant? Come on dude. Has Anguirus, mothra, Rodan, Gigan, American Godzilla, a new monster at the end, and a bunch of others that I don't know offhand.

Mechagodzilla isn't in it cause he was destroyed in a previous film in this era of zila movies. Know the name megalon, but I forgot which one he is. Wasn't in it, I know that. Biolante wasn't in, on account of him sucking.

Oh yeah, and that muppet looking baby godzilla is in it too, thankfully in a very minor role.

Megalon was the giant beetle with drill arms that spit napalm bombs.

In all actuality, I've not seen many of the films, but I read all the Cerasini novels. Biolante was the main antagonist in one of them, and didn't seem too bad. :-\

Regardless, go see this movie.

I'll try to find it. Gigan was pretty badass, if I recall.

...He's the one with the hook looking arms, right?

He is a cyborg monster that has mantis like hook arms, a laser eye like cyclops, grappling hooks, predator-like razor discs, he can fly, and to top it off, a circular saw in his torso.

Wasn't lying when I said he's a hardcore mother fucker.

I've always loved the look and concept of Godzilla. I went through a brief Godzilla phase as a kid and loved the toys.
During that time period, I rented most of the movies.

I haven't seen one recently, but I remember them being awesomely bad.

I was, and still am, a huge King Kong mark. Godzilla vs King Kong was hilarious.

Yeah, in the first series of movies, each new movie brought an even more ridiculous physical attack from godzilla. Remember that ridiculous dance?

It's been rebooted twice, the latest ofwhich was Godzilla 2000, with Final Wars being the final film of this series. It's great, because the monsters look awesome now, and the fights are better, but it doesn't lose that cheesy charm the previous movies had. Gonna try and get every movie on dvd.

Would also like Gamara, as a sabretooth turtle with rocket jets, that can do gymnastics is awesome.

Sounds to me like Fignuts is hanging out with too many South American hippies.

Holy crap, someone else read the Cerasini books?!

Anyway, Final Wars is a hoot and a half: reminds me a whole lot of the old classic Destroy All Monsters, and features just about all of the old-school monsters (except Megalon). I counted Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, King Caesar, Kumonga (the big spider), Kamaciras (the big mantis), Manda, Hedorah the Smog Monster, and of course King Ghidorah. It doesn't really get going until the second half (it feels like they were doing a completely different movie and then remembered to put Godzilla in later), but it's bloody awesome once it gets going.

If you really want a badass take on the Big Guy, though, I'd recommend 2001's Godzilla/Mothra/King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (they really should've come up with a better English title). It's got uncharacteristically not-bad special effects (well, Scifi Channel level), and a super-evil Godzilla that just does not give a fuck.

Look at what he does to this poor bastard, and you'll see what I mean:

Is it Final Wars where Godzilla fights the Godzilla from the US film and just beats the shit out of him in like 10 seconds?

That's the one. Pure greatness.

Less than 10 seconds actually.

I legitimately looked for this movie in the bin of dvds by the checkout when I was at the grocery today.

It wasn't there. :-\

Best Buy will definitely have it.

And he jobs to a flaming moth.

Don't knock the godzilla breath.

Also, gigan jobs to something much more badass in this one.

Yeah...a flaming Moth. Mothra gets set on fire then crashes into Gigan, tearing his head off.

The he in my statement was towards Gigan, not Godzilla.

Read that as mouth for some reason.

Probably because I'm an idiot.

Slight bump, BUT after reading this thread I went out and bought the DVD. Beautiful :love: purely awesome in every aspect...actually makes me sad that it's the last Godzilla movie (in the forseeable future)

SHOWS WHAT YOU KNOW!

by 2015 there should be a new Godzilla movie...I should go to best buy and get this thing.

Ok fine, last currently planned Godzilla movie (as far a I know)

IS THAT BETTER SHADOW :foc: :p

Yeah, was never planned as the last godzilla movie EVER. Just the last in this series.

There are 3 series so far. Likely that there will be another.

Woo

Big G fan over here, check this out. This is Godzillas last apperance on the big screen. This movie is called Always Sunset on Third Street 2 and this a a dream sequence to open the movie. Godzilla is in full CGI, and looks pretty damn good. This takes us back to his roots. Enjoy :D Sorry but the one i had with subtitles is gone. If you guys ever have a question about Godzilla, im your man. Or you can be a douchebag and go to wikipedia :shifty: :lol:
