Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)

It's easy to see why Final Wars split fan opinion so much. Kitamura made a kaijū film that's packed with outside influences, and even though it references much of the series history it's not always complementary to the tone.
It's a sci-fi adventure set on Earth, with at least a dozen creatures pulled from retirement for an all out monster brawl that's pure insanity. Just when you think it can't possibly have any more deus ex machinas in its arsenal it pulls another one from somewhere, bundled with stupid-fun and a pre-made 'Why the hell not?' coupon for the viewer to immediately redeem.
It's a two-hour film, but the pace rarely slows down because it sacrifices character development to keep the excitement thundering along.

It's the 28th film in the series overall and the 6th and final entry in the Millennium era (i.e. standalone, alternative sequels to the 1954 original).
