The previous two or three Godzilla movies had been disappointments at the box office, and if you have seen "Godzilla, Mothra, King Gidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack" and "Godzilla: Tokyo SOS" you understand.
Toho Company produced "Final Wars" and declared that there wouldn't be another Godzilla movie for 10 years. That held true when the American release of "Godzilla" came out in 2014. "Final Wars" obviously draws on other movies such as "Aliens" and "The Matrix" but its plot is one that has been used over and over: Aliens come to Earth and try to rid the planet of Godzilla by pitting their monsters against him. If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always gotten.
Akira Takarada makes his 6th appearance in a Godzilla movie, since starring in the original movie in 1954.
Here Godzilla battles Zilla, from the 1998 movie with Matthew Broderick. It is referred to as Zilla because the producers felt the American version took "God" out of "Godzilla".
