GFW was.. a big let down for me honestly. I will watch it again here shortly since I haven't seen it since right after release. It was too over-the-top. It had people fighting that I could give two flying hedorah craps about, I wanted to see more of Godzilla. Instead they rushed it, like they had to fast forward to the end.

It is kind of like watching a PPV UFC fight of a much anticipated bout between the top two for a championship. Then the fight doesn't last but 10 seconds. Sure it was a sweet highlight knockout but, I wanted to see more. Just like I wanted to see more of how this Godzilla acts, his behaviors, his agenda. You get almost none of this, I didn't get any build up or attachment or much suspense, because you keep getting interupted by flying kicks and lasers.

Sorry if I don't make much sense, my wireless router just quit working and I'm skeeeoonking mad.

Was anyone else at The Hollywood Premiere ? I was so dissapointed. I was the first person on line in the theater and one of the first ones out. I was interviewed by a Japanese reporter and I don't think she understood my answer.
I said there are only three things I did not like about the movie. The Beginning, the Middle and The End.

I was there too. I was also interviewed but I never heard about what happened to the footage. We could be celebrities in Japan and not even know it.

I heard that many of us were on TV in Japan. I know that at least some of my friends were on the Japanese R2 dvd.

Alright. Watched the film (first time I've ever bothered watching the film since three years ago) today with a group of friends for a Monster film party. While I still feel that GFW is a very and I mean VERY flawed film, it can be a hoot to watch with a group of friends.

Is it a fun movie? Yes it is...

Is it a great Godzilla movie? Is it what you hoped to see for a "Final War"? Heeelllllllzzzzz NO!

Godzilla 98 was a better movie.

I agree, although it is one of the "Worst" movies of Godzilla, it can be entertaining while
spending time with friends...(Alcohol is Optional).
Unstoppable Fury , Unthinkable Power , Unbreakable Will.

Take a shot everytime they cut away from Godzilla and Monster X's fight to the stupid alien/mutant drama. You'll be hammered before Kaizer Ghidorah even shows up. Or better yet take a shot everytime this movie rips off the Matrix and other action films, you'll be slammed before the the second act is even over.

If someone took one shot for every negative comment on the film you guys have ever made, how fast would the world run out of alchohol?

Lol. The only way I can even watch the film is with friends and if alcohol is involved. :lol:

Not really, no.

Even removing the Godzilla-fan aspect and how much of a disappointment it was to the franchise, and looking at the film as just an action/adventure film with some monsters in it, the film is boring and uninteresting from start to finish.

The film rips off so many movies that the film loses all enjoyment. If I want kung-fu action scenes, I could just put in The Matrix and get the same effect I would from GFW, if not better. Not to mention the monster scenes are so short, that by the time one would start enjoying those scenes, they're already over. The plot takes over an hour to finally get going, and even then the characters are so unlikable and un-relatable that by the time the plot does get going, the audience has stopped caring about them. Thus, there's no reason to care about any of the action scenes.

There's no denying that Final Wars is a fun film. It's a blast from beginning to end, there's no 'stop to catch your breath' scenes. If it's one thing this film is, it's fun, at least that's what I think.
