GojiFan93 Reviews | Godzilla: Minus One (SPOILERS)

[@BubblegumCrash332]

How great is it to be a Godzilla fan right now. This movie has been stuck in my head. Im blown away by how good it was. It had everything you could want in a movie.

[@ShinGhidorah17]

I disagree. It didn’t give me everything I wanted.

[@kaiju115]

I’ve now seen this movie Five Times in theaters, as of now it is easily one of the best Godzilla movies ever made, it’s made it in my Top 3 alongside Gojira(1954) and Shin Gojira. Great story, great pacing, great atmosphere, great characters, great acting, great effects, and definitely one of the best Depictions of Godzilla to this day right up there with 1954, 1984, GMK, and Shin. P.S. Please Toho, for the of all that is Kaiju, make this an actual series, no more reboots, we’ve had enough as it is.

[@RangerMcFriendly]

Regarding black rain (from someone who collects radioactive items and loves radiation science), I cannot express how horrifically radioactive the stuff is. All of the ionizing radioisotopes attach to the debris and rain and fall with it. Every drop of rain contains millisieverts worth of fission products such as uranium, cesium-137, and plutonium. It’s considered heavy contamination and Shikishima would have had to have found a shower immediately and replace his clothes. Also black rain causes radiation burns. I hate to say it but if that black rain did indeed have nonfissile material in it, he is as good as dead. Noriko will be fine though because that was a Godzilla cell on her neck which is explains her regeneration as she would have been torn to shreds by the millions of pounds of debris that hit her.

[@matthewvorwald7169]

I just saw this on Saturday with my two older brothers and it was awesome. Best human story of any Godzilla or kaiju movie, the most terrifying Godzilla ever made, best visual effects of any movie that has come out this year hands down, the most destructive atomic breath Godzilla has ever had, and one of the best early Christmas presents to ever get. I do hope that Toho extends it's release again because I want to go see it again.

[@caseyfarino7487]

This film was an amazing experience in the theaters, and is for me for sure one of the best Godzilla films of all time, and for me the best film of 2023. Also I might be overthinking this, but I noticed that when Godzilla charges his atomic breath, his spines act almost like reactor control rods, going up to increase radioactivity while also sucking up oxygen to further increase it, then slamming them back it to "explode" that energy out.

[@gojifan93]

Ya I like the idea that they are reactor control rods

[@mikia6m2]

お疲れ様でした。 完璧な分析と評価。さすがGojifanですね。海外の方も楽しんでいただけて とても嬉しいです。ありがとう。from Japan

[@jprules2578]

Came from the second viewing today. Been watching the original minus one trailer repeatedly because I actually can't stop watching/immersing myself with this absolutely awesome movie. Its easily my favorite G movie, along with the 54 original which was incredible for it's era and its budget as well. When I saw her push him into the alley and she is blown away...I literally unconsciously burst out "No!" Then his breakdown in the rain...I was destroyed.😢 The Kyushu "Shinden" aircraft at the end is actually a real thing, and the seat is very similar to that used in the German He-219 which was all real as well.

[@ひろおかたくや]

こちら日本！ 観に行って頂いてありがとうございます！！ 感動を共有できて大変うれしいです！ 有難うございます！！

[@roosterwithnoname9020]

I was surprised how good Godzilla Minus-One was. The human characters were actually interesting and likable. It had good acting. And Godzilla is actually scary in this. And I just love the soundtrack. They did a good job with this film. In my opinion, this is probably the best this franchise has since the original 50s movie. I wanted the 2014 movie to have been like this. 9 out of 10 for me.

[@MinusGoji1]

I know I am very late on this but it’s really glad to see you back on KZbin you was one of my favorites growing I loved your godzillathon back in 2014 when hype for that movie back then I was in middle school and you have great commentary and creative takes on Godzilla and I lm glad you’re back

[@tokensdam]

Well, this is a surprise. I honestly thought I was about to pass out when I saw your name, and a video you made It's good to see you again dude

[@richfromwi8945]

Saw it, loved it, want more! I understand why so many have seen this multiple times. Good job TOHO

[@animatedalex619]

im so glad we get to live in an era were we get gojifan to came back to yt and review godzilla films again

[@gojifan93]

It was the best time to come back!

[@salsa5633]

I just left the theatre and i am in awe man. What a movie.

[@Bastizilla]

Absolute masterpiece! Exactly the kind of Godzilla film i have been waiting for! Can't wait to own it, i hope for a beautiful 4K steelbook with a nice cover.

[@drhacknslashzombietimelord6768]

GODZILLA MINUS ONE is the movie that will win over and convert most non Gojira fans into fans. I went and saw this on Friday the 8th. I always had GOJIRA 1954 and SHIN GODZILLA tied as the best GODZILLA movie. GODZILLA MINUS ONE knocked them into a very close second place. I loved how brutal Godzilla was in this movie. I have never seen him that brutal, the way he tossed around the mechanics on Odo Island, and they way he throws around boats and trains later on. I'm already wanting to buy the Blu-ray. Also, this movie had the best human story line of any film in the series, and, better than most mainstream films that have been released. And, I can't forget to mention the score. It was subtle, beautiful, and very unnerving in the right places. I love the way they did reuse Akire Ifikube's score without over using it.

[@r2153]

The regeneration after the mine exploded in Godzilla's mouth was terrifying. One second his eye are black and lifeless and the next it regenerates to that creepy bright gold color.

[@Bulbasaur617]

Finally got to watch the movie today. And I love it so much. I got one heck of an experience in theaters. It's like I'm experiencing the horrors of Gojira around 1954 when that movie was released around that time. The movies definitely shows how much of a terror a giant monster can be when it rampages and causes devastating results. I like the design of Godzilla here. It's like a combination of the Heisei Godzilla, Gojira, and a bit on Shin Godzilla because on how the radiation affects this monster. Even the use of its own Atomic Blast, which this incarnation's interpretation of it is interesting, but with drawbacks. And then seeing how the people (or people that has experience World War 2) handle the situation. I love the emotion and determination to kill something so destructive. Loved it playing the original Gojira theme for not just Godzilla himself, but also for the veterans too . Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. Especially watching a Toho Godzilla movie like this in theaters. I love it so much! Despite some problems in it. Curious to see what other Godzilla related things Toho may have in mind. And curious to see how the other Godzilla movie that's coming out, Godzilla x Kong: New Empire, will go.

[@thomassiroky8714]

Love to see you back man! Happy you’re doing well

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Great review bro! 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. Right now it's probably at 4 or 5 on my top ten Goji films. One of my favorite scenes was that salute to Goji at the end by all men that engaged him in battle. I really hope that it starts a new Toho timeline as well

[@DeathxRider400]

great movie, loved the film as well, 10/10 for me.

[@andrewsouthworth9730]

I saw the film last night and it was amazing. My favourite film of the year.

[@darrylcatay2295]

Great Review ! The Boat rope thing got me too ! Dude ! Keep this shit coming ! Spot on !

[@bumponalog5001]

FYI, decompression normally would take hours, possibly even days, to avoid after being that deep. They were so desperate to raise him out of the water because it would do the most damage when the pressure changed as he breached the surface. The timeskip from the tugboats showing up to them yanking him up wouldn't make a difference to the damage done to Godzilla.

[@ects0lracc415]

Literally perfect I’d say flawless

[@Colevid19]

It was such a good movie. What made it that was the story. There were times during the movie to where I forgot that I was watching a Godzilla movie. The characters and there emotions really grabbed me during the movie. Even brought out a tear at the end. A+ Toho

[@Sacto1654]

This movie will end up with multiple Oscar nominations, even with the claim by some tha AMPAS wants to toe the ESG/DEI line. I wouldn't surprised it get nominations for Best Picture, Best Director and possibly Best Original Screenplay for Takeshi Yamazaki, Best Actor for Ryunosuke Kamiki, and possibly even Best Supporting Actress (at minimum) for Minami Hamabe. When people say that it's a great movie even if you subtract out the Godzilla scenes, you know we have a major winner here.

[@gamrr_NERD]

Just found out they are officially extending its United States release and the director is wanting to do a sequel.

[@carkeyss2589]

Only thing left is Godzilla vs Gamera

[@BubblegumCrash332]

[@lm_8480]

Since minus 1 might be the start of the modern "toho showa era" they might do Godzilla vs Gamera instead of godzilla vs king kong cause the mv has him

Awesome u love movie but same here too. I love movie so much even saw it twice but thinking for thirds time too. 10/10 masterpiece! Also good to see u again Chris aka Gojifan93 talking about Godzilla again. I follow your first channel long time ago. Great see u again talking about Godzilla content 👍

[@suchotator]

I can see this universe having a series of movies. I think it's time we get a fully-fledged Godzilla series, The potential of it is promising, and if it does go full wacky and funny? Well, we all knew what to do when we saw the GXK trailer. I haven't seen the movie yet but I think this is worth establishing a universe on

[@monstermastergodzilla6813]

I saw it on December 2nd. I enjoyed it. I thought it was different from other Godzilla movies I've seen. It's my new favorite Godzilla movie. Being that it's set two years after World War II, it reminds of the comic book miniseries by IDW Publishig, Godzilla: Rage Across Time.

[@KmayThraSheR]

The fire bombs happen but no mention of Nagasaki

[@GojiraCartoonSciFiHorrorFan2K]

Godzilla Minus One Is Phenomenal & Truly Film Of 2023! I say it's equal to the original Godzilla 1954! Something I forgot to mention on your 1st Impressions/Thoughts of Godzilla: Minus One video, before the film was released I was rewatching most the trailers over & over again (There were some I didn't watch until after I saw the film.), & not looking up the film in order to avoid spoilers & it definitely paid off. When I went to the Early Access Fan Event Screening my eyes were glued to the screen when it started & the film was full of moments that made my eyes widen & my jaw drop, like there was so many things I didn't expect. I can go on & on about how Phenomenal this film is, It's A Masterpiece. I'm thinking of going to see it again in theaters & I'm looking forward to when it gets released on DVD. Also, I asked the theater I went to see the film at if I could have the Godzilla Minus One Poster when they're done with it & they said yes! They're going to call me to get the poster next week, I can't wait! Great Video As Always GojiFan93!

[@Godzilla-tu2cd]

Such a great movie just fantastic. Great characters, great drama, great special effects for a 15 million dollars budget that puts Hollywood movies this past summer alone to shame, Godzilla was amazing as always but I feel like this time if he wasn't in this movie this movie would still be a great movie

When godzilla was decrompressing his design in that moment reminded me of GMK design. It was cool if it was intentional

If this same production team made a Gamera reboot . . . I'll just leave that here.

[@ShadowZabre]

Gonna have to break your heart on this one. The thing that happened to Noriko did happen in the real world. There are some people who survived the shockwave from Little boy. There is even a man who survived being struck by *both* A Bombs. The first sucked him up into the air and threw him into a farm. The second shockwave hit him hard enough to shred the bandages off his body. It is realistic that she could have been one of the lucky ones who survived. Now.... the Fallout they all bathed in and necrotic tissue on her neck that will most likely kill her. Or at least horribly cripple and disfigure her.

[@DonnyWinter]

Excellent review, my friend!

[@gojifan93]

Thanks Donny! Thank you for commenting!

[@tirex3673]

You are both correct and incorrect about operation crossroads, yes, it wasn‘t the same test as operation castle, which is the one, which woke up godzilla in the original movie, but operation crossroads also happened at bikini atoll.

[@rpg_mango3235]

Personally me I think Godzilla minus one is the best ever Godzilla film yet so far because of the action and characters that is in the movie, and since I think it’s so good I just want to watch it again.

[@ghostfixter]

such a fantastic godzilla movie even my dad enjoyed it as well and he isnt that big of a fan of godzilla movies. also its awesome to see you back again :)

[@gojifan93]

[@Sonicjohnathon]

I won't deny I'm not a fan of movies set in world war 1 or 2 but I am a huge fan of Godzilla 1954, 1984, and GMK and making a Godzilla movie set like a few years after World War 2 is a smart idea because of Godzilla's a symbol of nuclear destruction and I think it fits perfectly.

[@ryandtibbetts2962]

Sumiko ended up being one of my favorite characters simply for the fact that she was not relegated to the status of the one-dimensional Karen that her first appearance suggested.

[@gojifan93]

Yes, at first I didn't like her because of how mean she was to Koichi (even though it fits the time period) but later I grew to love her how she became a helping hand.

[@ryandtibbetts2962]

@@gojifan93 given her initial hostility towards Koichi and disapproval of his and Noriko's living arrangements, Sumiko's decision to give up her stash of rice to feed Akiko was an act of selflessness that caught me by surprise. I realized... quite happily... that I had misjudged her. As the movie progressed, she overcame her grief for her children, forgave Koichi (implied rather than actually stated), and became a good friend to them and caretaker to Akiko.

[@吟遊歌人]

Noriko was brought back to life because she was infected with Godzilla cells. She might turn into Godzilla in the sequel.

[@gojifan93]

Hmm, that's not a bad theory. I like it!

[@KmayThraSheR]

54 actually mentions Hiroshima, in this movie literally the bombs do not drop. Castle bravo does and the Cold War happens earlier ? Strange choices for a directer that has always protected Japan

[@tirex3673]

It‘s crossroads baker here, not castle bravo. Same place (bikini atoll), earlier test.

My theory is that the black mark is something more than radiation poisoning. It's shaped like a foot to a degree.

[@levigifford3871]

What in particular makes you rank it over the original Gojira?

[@gojifan93]

Well it's because it takes the original and makes it as impacful to a modern audience as it did for the audience in the 50s. It's hard to describe but it totally just made me fall in love with the character again. The 50s original still has its place of course but I do believe that toho has finally made the follow that topped it. If that makes sense. Still love and respect the original of course.

[@Izadirad1995]

I think the Soviet problem makes sense. But they should have included the showdown in China between the ccp and kmt. I’m not sure about dates but southern Europe was also experiencing some communist civil wars. Greece comes to mind and there was 1 or 2 more. Also it seemed like the us did lose some ships to Godzilla. There’s a scene with a map following Godzillas path and it has several ships that are noted to be destroyed. I think they were American

[@gojifan93]

It was just odd that Japan was completely on their own with a situation like this.
