If you've made it this far by watching the first 2 movies you know what to expect, right? Actually, no, you don't. This one makes the other 2 seem almost decent.
It has NOTHING to do with Godzilla lore. I don't consider myself a fan, but I was expecting to see Godzilla fight giant monsters, not STAND in the same spot for 3 movies straight.
What we have here is recycled anime trope after anime trope, all the cliches in the book and they're not even remotely used in an interesting way.
Do we get Ghidorah, a giant 3 headed dragon? No, we don't get that. We get this cheap CG thing, 3 REALLY long snakes coming out of black holes.
Do we get Mothra? No, we don't actually. It appears in a vision for the protagonist as a plot device to defeating Ghidorah, somehow giving him the inspiration to break out of his trance. Woo hoo.
It's just SO bad, all of it. Even the live action movie seems perfect in comparison. The makes of this movie were probably like "how can we make this thing REALLY cheap? Oh, let's use cheap CG and not have any monster fights, those cost money. Problem solved."
