I don't think Final Wars is a very good measuring stick for what a Godzilla film should be like.

But anyway, my problem isn't just the lack of Godzilla but how little Godzilla contributed to the overall plot. The only notable thing he really did was kill the MUTOs because they drove the plot far, far more. As a pseudo-reboot of the original Godzilla I would've liked Godzilla to be a bit more plot relevant. Seriously, think about it. Cut Godzilla out of the entirety of the film except the final battle and everything important would have happened exactly the same. You can keep showing off Godzilla in his full glory to the end, there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't see why that has to mean he doesn't really do anything until the end. That said, Godzilla himself was fantastic, he looked the best he ever has, the bigger budget did everything right for him and what we saw of the fight was just amazing. I just think he should've mattered more to the plot outside the third Act.

Don't get me wrong, the movie was good! I did enjoy it. It met my expectations but it didn't exceed them.

To be fair it has been years since I saw anything except Godzilla 1954, which I watched the night before the première of this one.
