It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I don't even know where to start here. I enjoyed it's predecessor Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S and was really looking forward to this one. Especially, when I found out it would have some of the retro monsters in it. Boy, was I disappointed!The film runs 2 hours and 5 min, which turns out to be about an hour and a half too long. The director seems to think he's directing a music video. Short fight scenes with cameos from back in the day monsters, CGI overload, the main villain looks and acts absolutely ridiculous, but the score though....just unforgivable. Do I really need to hear out of place hip hop techno beats at every turn? I've never been one to be hard on movies. I can watch "B" movies all day long, but this movie just sadly screams "hey younger generation, look at me". 50th anniversary deserved better.

I'm not going to lie and say this was great, but I ended up enjoying it. I guess it probably has a low enough rating for me to consider it a guilty pleasure. I can see why some people wouldn't like it. It's mostly because it probably is too long and the special effects with the CGI aren't that good. It's the longest Japanese Godzilla movie ever! Right from the get go, we get tons of action and explosions! I guess you could compare it to some of Michael Bay's less awful films. This movie features tons of old Godzilla monsters appearing and fighting him.We even delve more into the Godzilla mythology as we analyze exactly why Godzilla can be regarded as both a villain and a hero in this medium. The best part is probably when we get a cameo by none other than the 1998 American Godzilla! He's beaten in a minute, a mockery of that dumb movie. Luckily the 2014 film was much better. The humans, or should I say mutants contribute well as we get some nice fight scenes with them and the aliens. Dang, why'd they have to have Godzilla's son in this? ***

This is one of the worst Godzilla movies ever made. I cannot believe that Toho just ripped off their own history to make this travesty. The story, cribbing from better movies like Invasion of the Astro-Monsters, Destroy All Monsters and Atragon, is simplistic and silly. Godzilla as well as the SFX are below par compared to the 90's films. Godzilla looks silly, the Xillians should be called Sillyuns and the story is just terrible. Using the lame US version of Godzilla gave me a laugh, but the Godzilla from Destroyah would have kicked everyone's rears. Final complaint: Why oh why bring back the terrible looking Minilla from Son of Godzilla? A terrible idea that nearly undoes all the great Godzilla's from the 90's. Pass on this terrible insult to Godzilla.

When the aliens Xilians invade Earth, they release monsters to destroy the big cities. The Earth Defense Force formed by mutants is incapable to defeat the creatures. Commander Douglas Gordon (Don Frye) decides to unleash Godzilla that has been trapped for many years to fight against the monsters. Godzilla becomes the last hope on Earth to vanquish the evil aliens and the powerful Gigan. The overrated "Gojira: Fainaru uôzu" a.k.a. "Godizlla – Final Wars" is a cheesy and long mess with lame special effects. It is funny to see the crew speaking Japanese and Douglas Gordon speaking in English. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Godzilla – Batalha Final" ("Godzilla – Final Battle")
