[@marhawkman303]

@@sorrenblitz805 This is actually a major plot point in the movie too.

[@ShinGallon]

I’m firmly in the “love it” camp for Final Wars. It’s that perfect mix of over-the-top goofy and awesome, all the cameos are great, it’s got some amazing monster fighting, and is one of the rare times where the scenes with the humans aren’t boring. Toho was being super petty putting Zilla in this just to have Godzilla kill him immediately, and even though I actually like Zilla (it’s a great kaiju design and I love the cartoon followup with Zilla Jr) that scene is memorable as hell. Plus Don Frye looks like a live action Mike Haggar, so that’s a plus. Now I wanna rewatch it for the first time in a few years...

[@KaijuKing42]

I'm definitely in the "hate it" camp. Nothing about that movie feels like a Godzilla film, the monsters that make up the roster barely appear and are easily defeated, the music is terrible, the characters have no personality or growth, even most of the action is boring. I'd argue it's the worst film in the entire series. Yes, worse than Godzilla's Revenge. Worse than Godzilla vs Megalon. Worse than Godzilla 1998. Worse than the anime trilogy. There is nothing redeemable about Final Wars.

[@augustwest5356]

Me too. It's just all fan service monster battles. The only Godzilla movies I can't find something to love in are the ones with Minya. Or Godzilla Jr. Whatever you want to call the little turd nugget. I hate him so very much.

[@jacknapier8201]

I love this movie, I’m of the people who agree that most of the time the human drama is the worst part of any Godzilla movie and this one replaced it with a better live action Dragon Ball Z movie than the one we got

[@TheSefirosu200x]

The boring human drama stuff was one reason Shin Godzilla gave me such mixed feelings. The other reason is I much prefer "good Godzilla what beats up da bad Kaiju" over "bad Godzilla what beats up da hoomins", but that's neither here nor there. Like, I thought Godzilla itself was well-done in that movie, and was actually made terrifying, with lots of disturbing aspects, such as the way he unhinged his jaw for his Atomic Breath, which came out first as fire before concentrating into a tight beam. That shit was nightmare fuel. So, all the Godzilla stuff was good, but the human parts in Shin, my GOD, just bored me to tears. I would have to say, though, I liked the movie, it was pretty good, even if the human parts did suck.

[@Zlinky.4220]

TheSefirosu200x bro they literally reference in the movie the fact that the humans have to have a meeting every time they want to do anything. And I think Shin was an incredible Godzilla too, such a cool concept and the CGI was really well done!

[@fightingmedialounge519]

Wrong. Why would Toho buy the rights for a monster they already own? What they did was withdraw the rights for Godzilla from Tristar (so that they can't produce more G movies) and put a monster into Final Wars that is called Zilla. But Zilla is technically not the "Godzilla" from 1998.

5:19 He looks more like the result of a passionate night between Wario and Dictator M Bison from Street Fighter.

[@asalways1504]

I am always happy when you cover anything Godzilla, but I would love to see you cover King Kong 76 someday.

[@overeasymode]

Kitamura also directed Azumi which is a good movie. Would you review that film? Happy 200th

[@mossadon]

Yup. I appreciate that film as having jus the right amount of Japanese "Kool" mixed in with its historical aspects.

[@mroldschool001]

Azumi and Azumi 2 were great. The Xillian leader played a vengeful Samurai retainer in both of those films

[@HydraSpectre1138]

He was also handpicked by Hideo Kojima to direct the cutscenes in Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (the GameCube remake of MGS1). He was working on Final Wars and The Twin Snakes at the same time, and he went back and forth between the two projects.

"If this were real they wouldn't be able to do any of this shit in the first place!" lmao!! Brandon...I love your reviews man!

[@andrewwestfall65]

My favorite thing is that if you watch the subtitles Don Frye's lines are the same. He didn't say his lines in Japanese, they didn't dub over him, they just had him speak English while everyone else spoke Japanese.

[@iapetusmccool]

Wha... why is that guy wearing what looks like an SS uniform, but with pasties?

[@johnnygyro2295]

I have no idea...

Twilight Zone episode

[@subxaren3427]

Congrats man! Your Channel is very Underatted for good Content!

[@MforMovesets]

This movie and Versus are so insane because afaik the director made the cutscenes of MGS Twin Snakes.

[@ethanwebster2501]

First a Monster Island Buddies crossover, and now a Final Wars review! It's all coming together...

[@cacomeatballmarinara2014]

Next the commenters are going to say, “Hey Brandon, when’s the next Godzilla movie?”

[@sigmacademy]

In those immortal words "MOAR G-ZILLA" !!! ;)

[@apemayor3046]

Is that a JoJo reference?

[@bc6874]

I've been waiting for this one, can't wait for toho to take it down

[@SovereignJarodKwan]

Is it bad that as soon as i saw this i was waiting on "oh my god there's a Kenny in this movie!' line? Lol

[@Soulvale88]

7:50- Ichigo’s voice actor also well known for playing adam the 2nd black ranger. Johnny B!!

[@Altern8One]

Johnny Yong Bosch?!

[@MegaJetJaguar]

This is how Godzilla movies were originally meant to be! And, this is actually one of my more favorite Godzilla flicks ever. Great review! I am looking very much forward to watching part 2..

[@smcrevival1467]

Let the whole damn universe know..... Brandon has uploaded a new Godzilla review

[@jurassickaiju14]

"This whole thing could basically called 'Fanservice: The Movie'" *KOTM:* I'm right here, you know. (unpopular opinion; I liked KOTM better. Final Wars has it's good points to be sure, but as a whole I prefer KOTM. Again, not hating on FW; it's just my opinion)

[@jeffreyskoritowski4114]

The only complaint I have with FW is that they tried to do to much in 1 movie. It should've been 2.

[@isaacsussman5632]

...people actually argued about these things? I have genuinely never seen any direct comparison between those two.

[@jurassickaiju14]

@22:50 one of the names on the screen in the background is "Jonny Jonny"

[@flamewolfgaming4114]

The best sniper

[@Rojum55]

He's got a star shaped birthmark on his neck though, and every time he gets up, some weird Japanese sound effects follow him around, also he does flamboyant poses randomly too. Probably European.

[@KageKageKageKage6]

No

[@rebellionsspark128]

...THANK YOU! I requested this in one of your Godzilla videos since it was the first Godzilla movie i ever saw. Thanks again!

[@rogvortex58]

I only like this movie because I was an extra in it. There I am running away from Zilla in the shot at 11:46.

[@Canadamus_Prime]

"Mutant humans were discovered all over the world..." so it's the X-Men.

[@kacperprzysiezny3185]

They even has simillar suit to those from Singer movies...

[@claudeprince6724]

Not exactly. Or, at all. They all have the same basic skill set. Until they reach kaiser level. Where the powers are...unclear.

[@CubanPete1990]

When are you going to do a review of One Million Years BC (1966) or Heavy Metal (1981)?

[@MC_Plush_Films.2005]

13:39 my opinion I think that manila design is better than the old ugly manila ps don’t judge me

[@Dai9999]

DratiniDragonEmperor2005 DragonX it still doesn’t beat the heisei design. But yes I agree, much better than that shitty showa design

[@ConstantineFurman]

@@Dai9999 Minya isn't in the Heisei series.

[@hickorydickoryproductions4165]

@@ConstantineFurman i think they meant Baby Godzilla/Little Godzilla/Godzilla Junior, which is often seen as a preferred alternative.

[@Aldohere1]

Congrats on 200 episodes and 100k subs!! Always anxiously waiting for the next video. Great choice for this milestone btw

[@cowboyquebecanimations3068]

And it was this that got me subscribed to you. The fact that you and Linkara collages at one point was just an added bonus

[@tannerprice2018]

Happy 200th episode, Brandon. Godzilla 1954 may be the best Godzilla movie, but Godzilla Final Wars is the most badass Godzilla movie.

[@ConstantineFurman]

That's impossible. Shin Kishida's not in this movie.

[@beastmaster0934]

12:05 I think they meant Zilla was the only monster made ENTIRELY using CGI.

[@mgrzx3367]

Yea Hideo Sakaki is a great actor. The 2nd "Versus" clip, he puts his fist through a guys head. He was equally badazz in "Girls Blood" (2014). Thanks Brandon, this is my favorite Godzilla movie. Just cause of Don Fry. WooT!
