The ULTIMATE Kaiju Movie | A Review of Godzilla: Final Wars

[@CentaurWorks]

Shockingly, Godzilla: Final Wars is the first Godzilla movie I've ever seen. Me and my dad were able to go see it at a special showing at my local theater. The theater erupted with every takedown of a monster, and laughed at all the jokes. There were so many fans of the franchise around me and it remains my favorite theater memory to this day.

[@JustinSVA]

Man, I would have loved to see a movie like this in theaters. It just seems like the ultimate crowd pleaser in a way that you almost never see.

[@wong2265]

i liked the film it did have things that dint make sense to me

[@NewCoolGuy69]

IT WAS MY FIRST GODZILLA FILM TOO!!!!!

[@gojithriller6622]

When I was a kid I thought this movie was the ultimate Godzilla movie, I thought everyone loved it and had no idea that people were split on it. After looking back at on it though I can see why. Yeah it’s dumb, the monsters don’t get a lot of screen time, and Godzilla is insanely powerful to the point where it frustrates some people, but I still love this movie. I couldn’t think of a better way to end the suitmation era of Godzilla than with this movie. It’s still in my top 10 best Godzilla movies list and I hope legendary does something like this in the future.

[@JustinSVA]

Yeah, it's just a fun time and it delivers on that so well. Man, if Legendary did something like that, it'd just be insane. I'd love to see it.

[@IPS-FFF72]

People got mad at Godzilla being OP? Lmfao he’s called “King of the Monsters” for a reason 💀

[@340YT]

Final wars is basically the showa era modernized and scaled up. No sense at all, but fun to watch and completely insane.

[@nxblelxrdjova7147]

Honestly, if the director set out to recreate the Showa goji with access to a great budget and equipment, then they definitely did it. It’s enjoyable, goofy, and not to be taken too seriously just like the rest of the post-“Raids Again” showa era.

[@Gojirawars03]

The second best Millennium Movie. GMK is the best because it’s unironically good. But Final Wars gets second place because it’s such a batshit insane experience.

[@JustinSVA]

GMK is REALLY good and is another one I want to talk about in the future. One of my favorites for sure and I'm overdue on a rewatch.

[@kingdedede3547]

Final wars also is good

[@kaitlyngarner740]

To me it goes: 1. GMK 2. Against Mecha Godzilla 3. 2000 4. Final Wars 5. Tokyo S.O.S. 6. Vs. Megaguirus GMK and Against Mecha Godzilla are just so good. Tokyo S.O.S. had the potential to be really good but it's a bit uneven and Toho didn't really give it a lot of attention because of the 50th anniversary movie Final Wars. Final Wars just has a lot missing for me because it feels too much like they took a lot of beats from the Matrix. Too much time is dedicated to human martial arts scenes and it feels like it was written and directed by teen boys. I love the monster fights and I actually like the slightly OP nature of Final Wars Goji plus it has the best looking Gigan in the series. Those are the only reasons I rank it above Tokyo S.O.S. The director calling all Goji moves post 80s as shit also rubs me the wrong way because that includes vs. Destroyah, vs. Mecha Godzilla 2, GMK and against Mecha Godzilla. All the power to you for loving this movie, it had potential and can be really really fun but it's definitely a middle of the pack Goji movie to me

[@yajy4501]

Final Wars is insane and barely makes sense, yet it’s probably the most fun Godzilla movie ever made. Its intentionally crazy, balls to the wall approach is a great homage to the showa era and it has some of the best suitmation in the series. Is it a great work of high art? No. But is it one of the most memorable, insane and fun rides a monster movie will ever take you on? Hell yeah haha

[@kylecharger]

This is one of my favorite godzilla movies. So excited to see what you have to say about it

[@JustinSVA]

Probably exactly what you think. Lol.

[@stephaniejennis8900]

I actually love this one❤ I get why some don't, but other than the little Godzilla, it was a great movie

[@Nando.Bando24]

Like AVGN once said Its monsters fighting And ppl fights ITS ALL FIGHTING CANT GO WRONG WIT THAT💯

[@mrgodzillaraptors8632]

Man now I have to rewatch final wars.

[@JustinSVA]

DO IT.

[@mrgodzillaraptors8632]

@@JustinSVA of course. Also, will you look at shows like ultraman and kamen rider? They are fun

[@legionairesunny5507]

I looooove Final Wars. It's so much fun! And Godzilla is so amazing.

[@FavineMoore]

Final Ears is hands down top 5 Godzilla movie for me, cause of how wild it is.

[@JustinSVA]

I honestly might agree with that. In just sheer entertainment value, it is like no other.

[@Gojirawars03]

Final Ears lmaoooooooo

[@TheRadude]

Godzilla Final Wars is my personal favorite Godzilla movie! I hope the 75th year anniversary Film is similar to this in insanity

[@stephaniejennis8900]

I get why some don't like this one, but other than baby Godzilla, the movie was really good

[@JadeFoxAlpha]

Man, I love Final Wars. This movie is fucking insane. My favorite background element is when they're having a meeting on the Gotengo to decide to free Godzilla, and the screen behind them lists "Jonny Jonny: Sniper" as one of the names. That's the best name of anyone ever. We've got mutant Vegeta doing a Death Star run, a motorcycle fight... as in the motorcycles are USED TO FIGHT, weird American actors, the Gotengo being a flying battleship submarine drill laser... and of course living human Mike Haggar just kicking everybody's ass for the entire movie. This movie rules.

[@Bastizilla]

The controller of planet X was played by Kazuki Kitamura, not Kenji Kohashi. Kohashi just has a short cameo playing himself and calling himself X for fun, he has nothing to do with the controller. They gave him the same voice actor for the english and german dubs, that's how that misconception that they are the same guy came to be in the fandom.😅

[@JustinSVA]

Just looked it up and you are correct! Crazy though because you look up Kenji's name and The Controller's picture pops up everywhere. Lol. Thank you for the clarification!

[@godzilla4189]

As the Two Best Friends said, Final Wars is if Platinum Games made a Godzilla movie.

[@JustinSVA]

WAIT, THAT IS SO SPOT ON. OH MY GOD.

[@nimrod9914]

Godzilla face here's looks like angry cat.

[@behraddadashzadeh9872]

I remember this movie When i was watching it in the television my dad literally came to my room and said what is this goofy ass movie💀 I need to have a rewatch

[@zepperfox7669]

My favorite Godzilla movie ever

[@Alcadias]

My favorite Godzilla movie, it is Just so pure dumb everything and big boy Goji is Just fucking OP

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

Final wars did well on dvd, rental and now streaming.

[@Simplicity223]

This movie is batshit insane and I love it

[@spriterocks03]

Godzilla: Final Wars makes it more awesome when Gordon is dubbed by Tetsuaki "Tessho" Genda. New York Cop, Black guy and homeless guy dubbed in Japanese makes it funny and sexy. Even Fat man, Vancouver kid, Glenn and Nick dubbed in Japanese was fuckin cool. I also like how an actor that spoke chinese dubbed in Japanese, another Foreign actor besides Gordon in Gontego dubbed in Japanese.

[@Dalekzilla54]

Hang on, Glenn and Nick? Were those two characters named after Nick Adams who played Glenn in Astro Monster? Why did it take me until now to get that reference?

[@Vegas3RSPilot]

I love it when Godzilla pulls Keizer Ghidorah down HARD breaking KG's knees before launching him into the air and finishing him off with the signature atomic breath. I rewind those few seconds over and over whenever I watch Final Wars. I think the knee breaking move is the most savage move Godzilla has ever done except for maybe killing Baragon in GMK which never stood a chance

[@monkeynuggets7027]

My favorite godzilla design

[@stephaniejennis8900]

Loved the final fight, and of course Frye was awesome too

[@JustinSVA]

The final fight is everything I could have ever wanted and more. Absolutely ridiculous but a ton of fun.

[@Zadon87]

Just watched it today and it was frickin awesome love the main characters, Godzilla was awesome love the final wars design I just love how pissed off he looks I just love the look of his head and face

[@csandersonjr2234]

Haven't seen many godzilla movies I grew up watching the 98 one so not really a fan but this made me a fan this movie is one of the greatest things i have ever seen

[@dyllannudo310]

I feel like drink acid when i watched this movie

[@Kingoftheelectricity5485]

So good it’s my seventh favourite movie ever. Behind terminator 2 because this movie is literally th most epic movie out to screen

[@scarletteshadow]

What an awesome video! I have been in love with Godzilla movies since I was little. Thank you for the vid!

[@JustinSVA]

Thank you for watching!

[@EliasVeirs]

One Of My Favorite Godzilla Movies. This Movie Is Like KUNG FU PANDA!!!!!!!

[@brycevo]

Final wars goes back and forth on being my favorite or second favorite Godzilla movie

[@littletimelord2755]

This is one of my favorite Godzilla movies ever. I still own the copy I had from when I was 5 Then again I own a copy of every Godzilla movie, so……

[@domzillaproduction2004]

Yo I love godzilla final wars and watching this made me so happy

[@MadMick7]

I only just found your channel like three days ago and I'm loving what I'm seeing. Keep it up

[@JustinSVA]

Hey! Welcome! I'm super glad to hear it! Thank you a ton for the kind words!

[@balex55lp]

i liked Final wars, it was epic and funny 😄

[@HadeTheReal]

Is there a reason Godzilla has Feline Facial features or is it just a design choice

[@someguywithasword438]

He did have feline facial features in the Heisei era. And that was one of the designs that inspired the Final Wars design.

[@DUARTE99]

This 'film' is messed up. It's Godzilla on acid AND crack.

[@interwebkaiju]

I've always had fun watching this one

[@jfourgaming008]

Did you really say Renember again?😂

[@figu6ka379]

best godzilla movie without any questions

[@randysmith7045]

i have it on dvd i love it, my fav

[@Dehalove]

Didn't know Goherpes's editor was a kaiju stan! Also your pronunciations could use some work lol

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

Shitzillas 3d model was downgraded on purpose, as an extra shot at the whole thing.

[@Sgt.Dornan117]

the 98 movie is fine by itself. Its just a bad Godzilla movie. Im some what indifferent to it. I know some folks who got into Godzilla because of the 98 film, so cant knock it for that. Heck the animated series is actually pretty decent. It course corrects and stays faithful to the original Godzilla. worth a watch

[@JustinSVA]

That's definitely the one thing I can't knock it for. It got tons of eyes on the franchise and helped it grow even further. I've never actually watched the animated series and really should give that a go sometime.

[@kelicowilliams6339]

I thought it was an excellent bad ass Godzilla movie too!

[@wonton3739]

Cool video

[@deanwirth3627]

not a fan of this one, usually skip through it when playing it, it came with Tokyo SOS as double feature, definately the B-side

[@michaelscruggs2870]

3:26

[@deanseawa]

We don't need the frequent shots of who I'm guessing is the person speaking in a review about Godzilla. Thumbs down.

[@wonton3739]

If Justin has million numbers of fan i am one of them . if Justin has ten fans i am one of them. if Justin have only one fan and that is me . if Justin has no fans, that means i am no more on the earth . if world against the Justin, i am against the world.

[@JustinSVA]

T-thanks?

[@dragonclawtv]

final wars is my least fav g movie by far

[@lutherheggs451]

Clearly you've not seem much of the Showa era films then....Because hands down like 90% of the Showa era films are just straight garbage made for children filled with Kennys that brought us garbage like dancing Godzilla and Flying using his atomic breath etc.

[@lautaroasis60]

60% of the fights are human fights 3/10

[@lutherheggs451]

So what your saying is you've not seen many Godzilla films.....Its always hilarious when "Godzilla fans" cry and complain about the human parts of some of the movies, when literally 90% of Godzilla films are minimal Godzilla and maximum human drama. Almost ALL of them are 5 minutes Godzilla traveling, 80 minutes humans, 5-10 minute end kaiju fight

[@lautaroasis60]

@@lutherheggs451 oh since i need to say the obvious to you... 60% of the fights are trashy matrix rip off human fights 3/10. There, debate that one. Edit: I didn't even complain about human drama, i specifically said fights. The fights suck ass
