The plot and atmosphere simply take too many turns too many times for the viewer to get comfortable with the film. The film suffers from not having a set mood, or set atmosphere for the viewer to really settle into. But it is these two varying points that makes Godzilla: Final Wars both hard to classify, and hard to comprehend. At other times, it feels like it is an exercise in camp excess. At times, the film feels like it is a pure action take on the King of Monsters. Godzilla: Final Wars feels like many different movies in one, and by this I do not mean any of the films to which it owes it's inspiration. While TOHO should be given credit for being willing to take their creation and franchise in a different direction, they should also be more careful in the manner to which they do so. Godzilla:Final Wars is a drastic and puzzling step in a different direction for the Godzilla franchise. However, it is this, and only this that seems to find familiar ground with the rest of the series. Godzilla has never seemed stronger, or been portrayed as more of a force to be reckoned with. For those who love to see Godzilla as the true, unstoppable King of Monsters, GFW is a true return to form.
