You can’t take this review seriously. After everything that I have seen all 30 something Godzilla and Godzilla related films back to back to back over the course of 4 weekends this is the most cathartic movie in the world. If you yourself, a normal person were to sit down and watch this you would probably think this is either the most insane shit you’ve ever seen and hate it or give it to its batshit insanity and never see it again. If you’re a Godzilla fan who has not seen this movie it is with no hint of irony, the greatest movie ever made. If you want a Godzilla movie that’s 2 hours and never slows down for more than 2 minutes this is it. Even the moments that are slower have some of the oddest music you’ve ever heard in a theatrically released movie. This is a Godzilla movie where Godzilla is absent for almost the entire first half with a brief 30 second or so cameo at the very start. In your head you’re probably thinking “a two hour Godzilla movie with one hour being no Godzilla what is this? The 2014 Godzilla movie?” No, no it’s not because what you get instead of that are aliens, mutants, kungfu, slow mo kungfu, body horror, body swapping, spaceships, a flying submarine with a drill on it that also shoots lasers from Atragon, a motorcycle kungfu fight, and of course tons of monsters rampaging throughout different cities of the world. Rodan in New York City is a highlight.
This is also where my hatred for the 1998 American Godzilla was heard because we have a 30 second fight with Godzilla vs the American Godzilla (named Zilla in the credits) in Sydney Australia set to the song “we’re all to blame” by Sum 41. It is quite pissibly my favorite scene in any Godzilla movie because it was made with so much hatred for that American godzilla and you can just feel it. The fact that after it’s beaten the alien calls it a weak tuna eating lizard is just the cherry on top.
Don Frye is fucking awesome in this movie he completely gets the tone he should be playing. Everyone treats everything that’s happening as super serious which is just perfect because this is one of the most entertaining movies ever made. I cannot stress enough if you’re a Godzilla fan and haven’t seen this go its on tubi go watch it right now, 2 hours will just melt away. If you’re not a Godzilla fan or new to the series and watching a couple here and there wait on this one, come back to it after you’ve seen some shit. The fact that after this movie Godzilla was put into hibernation for 10 years until 2014 is pretty cool because this is a wonderful send off not only to Godzilla, but this era of filmmaking in general. This is the last film for Godzilla to feature monster suits, practical effects, and real pyrotechnics. It’s a loving send off and the most insane shit ever put to film.
