Greatest Godzilla Ever
Holy shit!
I just got finished watching the latest (and final?) Godzilla flick to come out of Japan. Godzilla: Final Wars.
I've read aobut it for months. People bitching and moaning about this or that. And I have to say: What the fuck is wrong with you?!
It's directed by Ryuhei Kitamura, the guy that gave us Versus, which was a nice combination of genres.
This new G flick has everything you ever loved about Godzilla, but amps it up for the year 2004 (the year it was released in Japan).
Like Godzilla as the bad guy? Here. Remember the monster battles from hell? Here. The aliens tricking us and controlling the monsters? Here. Godzilla as the hero, even? Fucking here!
The bonus is that the human and monster storylines are so closely intertwined that I never got bored. That was a downfall for many a G-film throughout history. Always sitting there going "C'mon get the fuck on with the destruction!"
There is plenty of destruction. And plenty of fucking monsters, I might add.
Let me address the bitches that some have: The music, for one. "Waaah! They didn't use Ifukube's scores!" Yes, they did. It was one of the first musical cues they introduced. However, they then kicked in some techno-industrial shit that really amped the excitement level. Hell, they even had some metal-industrial song, at one point. And Keith Emerson supplied music, as well. This series needs fresh blood to make it interesting and exciting, again. If you want ALL IFUKUBE ALL THE TIME, just by the fucking CD's, you whiny pricks.
"They ripped off the Matrix!" Umm, Ok. How many American flicks do that and get away with it? Sure, one (1) 360 shot and one (1) "bullet time" scene. There's your Matrix. "Oh, but all the martial arts!" Yeah, keep in mind who created that shit, you fuckers.
"Godzilla's fights are too short!" Oh, fuck off. The days of Destroy All Monsters is past us. This movie had a REASON for making them so easy to defeat. I must say, when G finally wiped out the main baddie at the end, I was fucking cheering OUT LOUD in my living room! This movie makes Godzilla out to be the baddest motherfucker in the world! And rightly so! (The best fight, btw, (and one of the quickest) was Godzilla blowing the shit out of the American version of Godzilla. Take that, bitch!)
The effects are tremendously awesome. Some great CG, but the integration of humans, models, suits, CGI is all done so spectaculary that it easily surpasses GMK and any other entry.
Nix says: Ok. Done drooling. This fukcing rocks!
