GODZILLA MINUS ONE Movie Review | Maniacal Cinephile

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

Skreeongk! What's your favorite Godzilla movie? ... other than the one starring Matthew Broderick... obviously! Come to think of it, that was a LOT of fish... Are you still reading this??? Wait! don't leave...

[@dubuyajay9964]

Still in the middle of Criterion Toho Collection. So far, Godzilla Vs. Gigan due to Gigan and Ghidorah teaming up.

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

My ranking is Gojira Mothra vs Godzilla Ghidorah the three headed monster Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla Godzilla vs Destroyah The return of Godzilla Shin Godzilla Godzilla king of the monsters 2019 Godzilla vs Kong In no particular order

[@herbaldragonX]

85 with PROPER subtitles, and close second is minus one.. that shit was epic

[@TheGrimoiresVoice]

Tough call. I'm a sucker for almost the ENTIRE Heisei era, and Final Wars is pretty damn awesome. But yeah, I think this one is my favorite Godzilla movie that just features Godzilla by himself!

[@tibedog5629]

Virgin Boy Eggs is Chinese, not Japanese.

[@catandrobbyflores]

I enjoyed this movie immensely. I was invested in the humans as well as seeing Godzilla be absolutely terrifying. I actually cried a certain point and I didn't expect to be crying at a Godzilla movie! And I think this was one of the best portrayal of ptsd and survivor's guilt I've ever seen.

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

Same!

[@theslasherof78]

I genuinely don't think I've ever been so terrified watching a Godzilla movie. The sheer personality of Godzilla and his destruction makes him a more fearsome beast than we've seen before. He's quicker, he's smarter, he's deadlier.

[@thedeepfriar745]

The best I’ve heard it described as Minus One Godzilla as having “ I’m gonna get you bitch!” Eyes

Same here! I've never been more happy to have my autistic ears get blown out in the theater, as it added to the immersion of the movie.

[@lennybreeze2381]

This Movie is award worthy. Should win Oscar for best foreign film.

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

I can see it.

[@TheWonkster]

This Godzilla has the Heisei-era almost adorable squishy cat face most of the time, but the way he acts is significantly more frightening than any other encarnation. Zero fear, zero mercy, vengeful, and showing a certain knowing cruelty that alludes to the fact he's also quite intelligent. This movie was absolutely amazing. I'm glad we can finally have a modern Godzilla film that is also just a legitimately good movie.

[@slipshot9074]

I walked in on Friday and was blown away by it. I watched again on a bigger screen and crisp audio and it's GORGEOUS. It's the only film I have seen more than once. I may go a third time.

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

I’d like to go again as well.

[@javodey]

This movie was incredible to watch in the theater. My girlfriend and I were humming along to the music during the rampage scene and crying during the emotional beats. Toho knows how to do Godzilla right. And make him scary too

[@justapeacefulmanwhosbornin7291]

‘Godzilla Minus One’ is now one of the best movies of 2023 and also one of the few best ones in the whole film franchise…

[@thesayerofthelaw]

I watched this with my father, he is a huge Godzilla fan. We both thought it was outstanding.

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

Glad you guys like it :)

[@wstine79]

I really enjoyed this movie. Aside from Godzilla causing havoc, the story of the kamikaze pilot trying to rebuild his life with a woman he found and maybe they found was interesting. The scientist with my favorite character

[@xwarpathx24]

When godzilla fires his atomic breath and we see his face regenerating cuz THATS how powerful it was...ugh. Made my jaw drop and gave me chills. Also the dorsal plates slamming down like the hammer on a gun...literally all I wanted out of the movie going into it. The Godzilla in Shin was scary for many reasons....but Minus One Godzilla seems like a whole other level of threatening.

[@CountryShape]

i christened the new 50 inch living room tv with your review of Godzilla minus one Andy, it was a great experience.

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

Woohoo! Evil finally popped a cherry.

[@TheBoogeymanscloset]

The Boogeyman can't wait to see Godzilla Minus One. We grew up with the Godzilla movies! As always Andy you are a pleasure to watch and very informative.

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

Thanks! It's doing well and getting a wider release so go see it!

[@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9r]

This is honestly my favorite movie of the year. Everything to the effects, acting and story was done absolutely perfect. Can't wait to rewatch this masterpiece in IMAX again since the theatrical release has been extended.

[@54blewis]

Finally we have a Godzilla that true to the original, and he’s no friend to mankind….he’s vicious,brutal and utterly frightening along with some serious anger issues,there’s a compelling human interest story that could stand alone as it’s own…..but Godzilla brings a level of destruction and rage (his atomic breath is vastly more devastating than previously seen in other films)beyond comprehension..like I said he has no empathy for humanity not even a little bit…loved it !

[@davidblaising-wimmer9972]

11:14 it’s actually black rain, debris and nuclear material gets kicked up into the atmosphere and comes back down as radioactive rain.

But also one of the most character driven Godzilla as well and I truly cared for the characters and the story was well written Looking forward to Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire! We are doing great as Godzilla fans

Noriko completely pulled at my heart during the movie 😢 And AMEN on that Criterion set being awkward!

[@TheSkullKlownTSK]

I loved this movie. When I left the theater I gave the movie a 8/10 but after thinking over. This movie deserves a 9/10. It might be in my top 3 or 5 someday but over all this is a really good movie and it shows.

Great review! It's truly an amazing time to be a Godzilla fan, I never thought that my most favorite film character who would be considered very niche some years ago would get such critical acclaim. It's definitely on par with the original 1954 version and on my Goji top ten list. I also hope it starts a new Toho timeline

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

Thanks! Hopefully it gets a sequel. The director wants to do one.

Best Godzilla movie hands down. Even if you’re not a Godzilla fan, this is just a great movie everyone in general should see. My first experience with subtitles in the theatre didn’t bother me at all, the movie is too good to find it distracting.

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

Agreed!

[@marywinchester1322]

This film is a 10/10! And I was actually scared of Godzilla this time around. The theater surround sound and seats were shaking every time he showed up. There was even lovable human characters which is something the western Godzilla films lacked. I do hope Japan turns this success into a franchise and gives us a sequel. In addition, bring back classic monsters to the big screen.

[@morecringe89]

[@baneintherain]

Watched it last night and it's an amazing film worth everyone's time and money.

[@TheRoyalOrora]

This was my very first video I watched from you. I just found you last Sunday/Monday (thanks to TV Tropes having you on the trope Split Personalities as an example in Web Videos), and I binged all your videos in about 5 days. I should have commented a while ago, but I didn't know what to say, nor which video to start with, however I decided to comment on the very first video I clicked on. I am a Godzilla fan. I've been one since I was 3 years old thanks to Tokyo S.O.S. (I'm 23 now), and I've seen all films. My favorite films are King of the Monsters (2019), Vs, SpaceGodzilla (also SpaceGodzilla is my favorite Godzilla kaiju, I want him in a Monsterverse and in an other live activ Toho film.), 2000, Final Wars, Vs Biollante, The New Empire, and more. I am so happy you liked the film. It was such a good film! So glad it won the franchises' first Oscar! Also loved your other Godzilla reviews as well. You instantly became one of my favorites content creators ever! Your videos are so well done, and the editing is perfect, I love all three of your personalities! I can't choose who I love more! I love Good Andy because he is so precious, and hilarious. His humor is so innocent, it's adorable. I would 100% attend any parties he throws and eat candy with him as much as he wants. I love Evil Andy because of how blunt and just how much of a jerk-ass he is. I love his dark sense of humor that I feel is just the perfect shade of dark. I'd be cautious, but I'd wouldn't mind having a shot or two with him. I love Andy for his how funny/genuine he is, and how he gives films an honest chance. His revies both criticism and complements the films when goes over while throwing in the perfect humor XD I, personally, would love if you did the "other personalities take control of the body" thing more. I loved the paint brush moment from "The Void", as well as him the ending of "The Shining", or the beginning of the "Split" video. I love the skits so much! I hope to see more! Maybe a Boots To Reboots/Maniacal Cinephile film someday? Thank you so much for the content! I honestly can't say how much I love your videos. You rock, and you gained a new subscriber. I will stick around! I can't wait for more! Also, sorry for the long comment XD

It just finished it's sadly short run here in the UK, I had my jaw on the floor throughout, not just for the Godzilla sequences but also in amazement at how emotionally investing it was. Film of the year for me for sure.

Godzilla will always be my favorite Kaiju of all time. I've been a fan since I was a small kid. The film that introduced me to the King was King Kong vs Godzilla.

[@StitchedTogetherPictures]

That was probably my earliest Godzilla movie as well. I remember watching it at my grandparent's house.

[@aaronhemme8913]

@StitchedTogetherPictures I used to have King of the Monster, King Kong vs Godzilla, Godzilla vs Mothra, Godzilla vs Monster Zero (King Ghidorah), Godzilla's Revenge, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, Terror of Mechagodzilla, Godzilla vs Biolantte, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, Destroy all Monsters, and Godzilla vs Destroyah on VHS 📼 back when I was a kid in the late 90s early 2000s. That was my collection before I got the series on DVD when I was in high school.

[@aaronhemme8913]

@StitchedTogetherPictures Hell I remember my parents Renting the 1998 American version Godzilla from blockbuster for me when I was a kid. I didn't ask for it but they thought I'd like to watch it. I watched it as a kid I thought idk there is something about this film that isn't right with Godzilla. Then I didn't watch it for decades until after I graduated high school. I was at a buddy's house. He had it on DVD we popped it in and I watched it numb like man now. I remember why I didn't like it this movie is shit. Then I saw your review of it and laughed my ass off thank you. Also when are you going to review the legendary pictures series. At least the first one just called Godzilla cause if you think about it, it's their second attempt at an American remake. It would be a perfect episode for boots to reboots. Oh, and this just came to me. What are you gonna do in episode of boots to reboots on peter jackson's remake of king kong??

The Minus One title, I believe, was also meant to represent the film historically taking place before the original '54, being set in 1945, and what the original WOULD have been if not for the heavy japanese censorship in place in 1954.

I loved the humanity they gave the characters. There's the redemption-seeking coward, the youth eager to prove himself, the scholar, the salt-of-the-earth fisherman, the mother of three dead children who finds joy in being an aunt... I kept waiting for one of them to die, biting my nails the whole time. And of course, Godzilla itself was fucking terrifying. Did I find the plot-twist about Noriko being alive to be kind of lame? Yes, but it fits with the movie's message about not treating life cheaply, so I'm willing to give it a pass. Also, I took Evil Andy's dare and looked up virgin boy eggs. All I'm gonna say is: Yeesh.

[@DTyrannosaurus]

I am a lifelong Godzilla fan (just booked my G-Fest trip for 2024!) so my opinion is unreliable. Let me get that out there first. (And I can tell Andies are a deep fan as well.) This movie being a stand-alone in the timeline is nothing new. There is no singular Godzilla; he's DIED-died several times. I like this, it allows for flexible storytelling. (Anyone who has read any long-time ongoing comic book series knows what I'm talking about - there is no single Batman timeline! There are, like, 10 different recommended reading orders.) I love what the filmmaker did with this story, keeping it somewhat grounded while also fantastical. If you think about it for more than a minute, having TWO A-bombs dropped on one small country is in and of itself nearly surreal. Adding a giant lizard to the mix hardly seems out of place. Godzilla movies do tend to suffer from yak-yak-itis, often in a political way. But the people in this story are very human. Well done, heart felt, looks beautiful, G design is superbly classic and modern as Andy said. (The way it ended for the two mains was ridiculous, though, and felt pandery.) That said, my all-time favorite Godzilla movie (and I've seen 'em all, more than once, American movies included - I like the Legendary movies!) is Shin and it has been since the day I walked out of the theater. Shin is ultimate Godzilla and I wish they could have done the follow up they intended.
