GODZILLA: FINAL WARS (2004): 30 Days of Godzilla

DAY 30

GODZILLA: FINAL WARS (2004)

Go big or go home. 

That must have been director Ryuhei Kitamura's mantra when he signed on to direct the final film in the Millennium Series and, until this year, the last Godzilla film to be released in a decade. Featuring a record-holding 14 different monsters, nonstop John Woo / The Matrix-inspired action sequences, and a slate of classic Godzilla actor cameos, Godzilla: Final Wars is one of the most divisive films in the franchise. Released for Godzilla's 50th Anniversary, it may not have been the perfect Godzilla film so many fans were hoping for, but it's still one of the most fun and exciting films to bear the name "Godzilla."

MOTHRA vs. GODZILLA (1964): 30 Days of Godzilla

DAY FIVE

MOTHRA vs. GODZILLA (1964)
aka. Godzilla vs. The Thing

It's time to bug-out as we take a look at one of the best, if not THE BEST, Godzilla movies of the Show Era series. We've seen Godzilla tangle with Anguirus, an original creation for Godzilla Raids Again. He's even battled the big ape on loan from RKO in King Kong vs. Godzilla. But for the first time ever in film history, Godzilla fights the winged mother of destruction herself: MOTHRA!
