This is the last entry in the 3-part anime series. And this is the last time I will watch any of them. It's so over-dramatic. Music swells. Characters yelp and yell and bawl. Godzilla is an afterthought to some sort of touchy, feely, save the Earth, believe in yourself message that isn't inspiring in the least.
What a load of fucking pretentious religious rubbish. It's for Godzilla sycophants only I guess.
This was boring as f**k!!! As a huge Godzilla fan, I'm very disappointing and annoyed that I wasted my time watching this. The art itself I feel was amazing. However, whomever approved that script should have been smacked!!! The ending felt like the had to stop to educate an audience on "physiological reasons," instead of just getting to the point. This movie could have been shaved down to less than an hour and would have been a decent movie.
Anyone who thought that at least the finale of this animated Godzilla trilogy would be a little more fast-paced will be left bitterly disappointed in "Godzilla: The Planet Eater." The movie has exactly the same problems as the first two installments. There is still far too much talking without a lot actually happening. Sure, some may find the different philosophies of the individual groups interesting. But in a Godzilla movie, I expect everything to culminate in massive monster action at some point. Once again, however, Godzilla only plays a minor role. Ghidorah also does appear this time, but its screentime is limited. As a result, the trilogy remains deeply disappointing.
I turned it off. Its just plain shit. Nothing more.
After the kind of buildup that the first two movies offered, I was quite excited to finish this trilogy. Similar to the previous movie, the last installment too picks up right from where the second movie ended.
As I have mentioned in my previous two reviews, while the movie touches upon a lot of speculative/philosophical topics, it rarely goes deep into them. However, the story finally takes the plunge in this movie; with mixed results. While the pontifications over the philosophies of the [spoiler] 'Hotoua' tribe [\spoiler] are quite interesting, the religious discourses of Metphies become tiresome over the course of the movie. Also, the final battle left a lot to be desired. Overall, this a little bit of a damp squib after the first two movies.
Ghidorah looks great. The concept is ok. But let's be honest, nothing much happens. The philosophical concepts are interesting though.
There's still this emphasis on how the very way of being of different alien races are so different that they're impossible to understand. Everyone wants to kill Godzilla. But the humans want to take its place. The Bilusaludos want to become like him. The Exifs want to feed him to their god. Though if your cult can't exist without lying entirely on its god and its goal, that's a pretty bad sign.
After the second one I wondered if Ghidorah was the Houtuas' god. Turns out it's not. Ghidora is the Exif god. Theirs is definitely Mothra, which you can retroactively see on the wall.
The idea that all civilizations are bound to give birth to a Godzilla like monster is interesting. Either as a reaction to their self destructive behavior, or as the natural next step of evolution, as if civilizations only goal is to create Kaijus. And then the next step, it's all so that Ghidorah can feed on them. Why not.
Not to clear on how they manage to invoke Ghidorah though, or even why they don't do it before. And I guess it's a deliberate blur on what it actually is.
The trilogy as a whole is worth watching, for the concepts, and for the design, and the second one for the action too.
I'm pretty sure this hasn't been added to Netflix yet

The philosophical talk ... bearable , but the religious nonsense was pissing me off, and the end, more
