This 28th entry in Toho Studio's series about the fire-breathing big fella is campily engaging for a while, but at two hours-plus you may come out feeling captivated dead.

Rated: 1.5/4

Film Inquiry

It's clear that director Ryuhei Kitamura approached the material with the sole intention of creating the mother of all monster rumbles.

Antagony & Ecstasy

Some kind of unholy hybrid of Godzilla, The Matrix, and Star Wars.

Rated: 5/10

This 50th anniversary grand finale to the long-running series is a rush of explosive excitement that pays homage to what came before but hypes it up into a kinetic brew that feels fresh and exciting %u2014 not an obituary-like coda but a glorious send-off

...the story is about on par with the Xbox games. But who cares? It's pure camp.

This final film offers a lot of sound and fury and weaves fourteen copyright Toho monsters into one plot, but the film offers nothing that is both new and of interest. The plot is a re-tread of that of DESTROY ALL MONSTERS.

Rated: 4/10

For Tohos at the time finale, it could've been better but as you see in my other reviews, im a lifelong godzilla fan, its never stopped and I love this movie. Great godzilla design, the kaiju are too weak other than monster x and keizer Ghidorah, but you can't not like this movie. It's a fun watch.

Possibly, my least favorite Godzilla movie, there looks like there are colored filters in a lot of scenes and they look terrible, the monster fights are too short and most monsters get less than 5 minutes or screen time, Gigan is weak, Mothra is there nothing just to die, Minilla is Godzilla’s son but he’s there just for nothing like he doesn’t play a big role in the story, when he’s GODZILLA’S SON!!! Ozaki copies moves from the matrix, Godzilla uses his atomic breath WAYYY TOO MUCHHHH, he’s more annoying than Minilla, and Goji is too powerful I dislike him, a terrible ending to the Millennium Era.

Professor X

This is easily the best film in the Millennium era. Godzilla's design is amazing. Also Gigan is easily the best character in this movie. Captain Gordon is also an above average human character. The Xilliens aren't too bad, but they aren't good either (besides Controller X). This is also the Godzilla movie with the best soundtrack. The only negative of this movie is Monster X/Keizer Ghidorah. While his desgin is Badass like Gigan, his personality is the problem or rather the lack there of. They should have made Gigan the main antagonist as he has a clear personality and motive unlike Monster X. In conclusion if you like non stop fighting you will enjoy this movie.
