Are GFW and GINO the only options? Cause I'd probably watch them over some of the other films. If these are the only options though I'd rather watch GINO.

I dislike GFW slightly more than GINO even though both films are pretty gringe worthy. GFW just shoehorns in classic Toho monsters into a bastard stepchild of The Matrix and many of the monster "fights" are just seconds long and the only highlight is Don Frye as Captain Gordon (the Barry Burton of the Godzilla franchise). Even though GINO is a bastardized version of Godzilla but at least it has a scant few good points (like the score & also Jean Reno).

Put the polls on never-ending.
I put my vote for GINO for obvious reasons.
To me, FW was bad, but at least it had more Godzilla in it than GINO.

GINO is just a bland Hollywood blockbuster that insults the character and has nothing really to recommend it. Final Wars is stupid, mindless, hyperactive, and cringe-worthy but it at least manages to be entertaining.

GINO it is...

As my sig line says, I love both movies!! I will watch Final Wars and Godzilla 98 over Gigan or Godzilla's Revenge any day of the week. I like Godzilla Raids Again but I would watch Final Wars and Godzilla 98 over that movie too.

I have a fond, nostalgic appreciation of Godzilla '98. I was around 4 when it came out and even then I understood that it wasn't really a Godzilla film, but something else using the same name. I took it as a different monster and a different movie and I enjoyed it for what it was, along with the insane marketing that accompanied it. I don't remember much from those early years of my life but I have very clear memories of the Godzilla Taco Bell commercials and promotional toys, the merchandise from Trendmasters, the posters, the fruit snacks, the birthday cakes, the candy...Godzilla's face and name were stamped onto everything that summer. The animated series that followed was phenomenal as well. What I'm saying is, while it may not be a great movie, Godzilla '98 is something I've always just enjoyed as a monster movie and a piece of my childhood.

But Final Wars...Final Wars spat in my face, kicked my balls, and stole my lunch money...metaphorically of course. They had the chance to make one last epic Godzilla flick and they gave us an incredibly boring and generic action movie with barely any monster scenes. I don't watch a Godzilla movie to see two hours of humans and aliens fighting each other with guns and motorcycles, I watch it for Godzilla. I know some of the best Godzilla movies are the ones that have little monster action and focus on the characters, but this was supposed to be the 50th anniversary of Godzilla. The movie should have been all about him, but instead he's frozen in ice for most of it. When he finally gets out he wipes out all the other monsters in like 20 minutes, giving us not a single good fight scene. Most of the monsters have less than a minute of screentime, and some barely have a few seconds. I don't understand what happened...to my knowledge, every suit or puppet in the film was made just for FW with the exception of the Mothra prop, so they clearly put a ton of money into it. Why even bother making the suits if they didn't want to use them? Why even make a Hedorah costume just to put it in one shot? Instead we got scenes with humans ripping off The Matrix, Terminator 2, and Independence Day. Pathetic, just pathetic. It would have been better if they had put an extra year into developing Tokyo SOS and released that as the 50th anniversary. Sure it had fewer monsters, but at least they were important and had a ton of screentime.

GINO even though I still like that in a So Bad Its Good way. (I think I'm the only fan of GINO's appearance.)

I love Final Wars, its one of my favorite Kaiju films because it runs purely on CrazyAwesomeFuel.

GINO was an absolute abomination of a "Godzilla" film. I can at least say GFW is a Godzilla film.

This is totally a toss up for me.

Both are bad movies, but both are something I've come to enjoy a little bit more recently, or at least respect what they were going for. They also both have genuinely good moments scattered throughout, and I wouldn't consider either the absolute worst of the franchise.

I suppose I prefer Final Wars by a slim margin, if only because I think Kitamura has a little bit more integrity as a film-maker. Then again, it also makes no sense and is a worse stand-alone film, so ... I dunno. We're back to square one.

I mean, in the long-standing feud between casual racism and the Simpsons cast, I'll go with the Simpsons cast every time.

But that's just me.

I disagree. Godzilla's Revenge could be considered a bad film, but it was more ambitious in concept and stayed faithful to the core values of Godzilla's character.
I don't see the problem with Gabara, either.

I wonder why people still call him GINO even though his name is Zilla now. What's up with that?

Zilla is the monster that appeared in Final Wars and the IDW comics.

It is NOT the same creature from G'98.

You sure? Because, not to be rude, but that's not what I heard. I heard that Zilla is what Toho renamed "Godzilla" in that movie.

Hell no. Actually Godzilla's Revenge is more watchable than the 1998 film because it has some decently done characters (plus it has Minya talking)

Lemme guess...........you hate it because its a kids film.
