Re: Final Wars: Why The Hate?

As someone else stated in the talkback thread, the hate stems from the fact this movie seems like it was written by a middle schooler.
"And then, the mutant turns good and blows up da base, and da King comes in and blows up an asteriod, but that asteriod is a monster, and then Gigan shows up and Mothra comes in and then we get a good scene of the humans fighting da aliens..."Stump Feet wrote:As someone else stated in the talkback thread, the hate stems from the fact this movie seems like it was written by a middle schooler.
That’s true, but none of his other work really has the same level of stupidity. That’s really astonishing actually.szmigiel wrote:Yet is shares the same writer of as 4 of the 5 Millennium films.
I’d amend this to say it was written by a middle schooler who didn’t particularly like or understand Godzilla movies beyond “lol they’re cheesy.”Stump Feet wrote:As someone else stated in the talkback thread, the hate stems from the fact this movie seems like it was written by a middle schooler.
Mimura is also probably my least favorite writer, along with his sometimes collaborator Kashiwabara, but I don’t think he had much to do with this after Kitamura came in. I think Mimura and Tomiyama wrote the initial draft and Kitamura added all his bullshit to it along with his writers.szmigiel wrote:Yet is shares the same writer of as 4 of the 5 Millennium films.
As the person who stated it seems like it was written by a middle schooler I agree with this. I also thought it was by a kid who "hates the talky parts and Godzilla is so strong, no one can beat him!"Terasawa wrote:I’d amend this to say it was written by a middle schooler who didn’t particularly like or understand Godzilla movies beyond “lol they’re cheesy.”Stump Feet wrote:As someone else stated in the talkback thread, the hate stems from the fact this movie seems like it was written by a middle schooler.
On the scripts alone I would rank them:szmigiel wrote:Yes it is hard to determine what was Shogo Tomiyama and Wataru Mimura influences and what was Ryuhei Kitamura and Isao Kiriyama. In interviews Wataru Mimura stated he wrote the 1st draft of the script, and the storyline was not changed, but the nature of the characters and some words changed
If I was going to rank Wataru Mimura Godzilla films
Godzilla Final Wars
Godzilla 2000
Godzilla Vs Megaguirus
Godzilla X Mechagodzilla
Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla II
His only other film was Yamato Takeru which I haven't watched since watching on VHS in the 90s, I wasn't impressed, but hard to rank it without rewatching it, but it might be the bottom.
great amount of action- it's mindless, pointless, and adds nothing to the storyGodzilla2004fan wrote:I believe that the Hate is due to the great amount of action, the short battles and the little screen time Godzilla has in the film. Still, I do not see why they hate the movie, but who am I to question that.
Truth be told at first I thought this was a joke, but the more I thought about it I can imagine Gordon saying it.MechaGoji Bro7503 wrote:Ozaki's got that lizard JUICED UP.
If you mean that I underestimate the film, let me tell you that it's My favourite Godzilla film of them all.Godzillian wrote:great amount of action- it's mindless, pointless, and adds nothing to the storyGodzilla2004fan wrote:I believe that the Hate is due to the great amount of action, the short battles and the little screen time Godzilla has in the film.

short battles- length isn't an issue since they are so one sided they are hardly interesting
little screen time of Godzilla- doesn't matter how long he is on the screen, it's about how he is used in that time
I have a feeling you're a bit biased to this film so by all means enjoy it, I'm not gonna stop you
I'm pretty sure that he meant that you overestimate it, not underestimate it. He said you were biased to it, not biased against it. Also, what possible reason would he have to think you underestimated it?Godzilla2004fan wrote:If you mean that I underestimate the film, let me tell you that it's My favourite Godzilla film of them all.Godzillian wrote:great amount of action- it's mindless, pointless, and adds nothing to the storyGodzilla2004fan wrote:I believe that the Hate is due to the great amount of action, the short battles and the little screen time Godzilla has in the film.
