Title: A mediocre offering
Product review: This film re-imagined our favorite monsters in a way that I found most irritating. New-agey hoo-haa was substituted for substance. Not only did the monsters have to carry on the guilt of Japanese actions in the Pacific during WW2, they also had to carry the anger of the victims of the war. The portrayal of Godzilla as evil made this more of a Mothra-as-hero movie than a Godzilla movie. My 10 year old daughter kept asking me why Godzilla didn't have eyes (they are white throughout this film) and I told her that maybe they were going for a ZombieGodzilla look. Honestly, why does Toho have to mess with a perfectly good formula??? What happened to Coke when they tried reinventing the taste that has stood them in good stead for almost 100 years?I found Final Wars to be vastly superior to this one.
