In my personal opinion, I kind of wish they saved this design for another Godzilla movie as an enemy kaiju, either an original creature, a failed clone of Godzilla or a mixture of Godilla's DNA with Destroyah's or something.

Even though I disagree with 90% of these critiques and have heard them before, this video is defiantly better than most negative reviews for Shin Godzilla I've seen out there because it doesn't seem like your making this video for the sake starting fanboy wars, pissing off a select group of people, and ad revenue. Also that you don't have to take anything out of context or over exaggerate to make your point. Hopefully something like that doesn't pop-up in your G14 vs Shin video because we already have one that's like that.

I mostly agree with you, with a few disagreements like how the characters are too boring. I expected that and didn't mind it as I saw it coming, as Toho has done this many times before. I really only remember people from Gojira, the Heisei series, Final Wars and GMK because they had a large role and actually used it well, in my opinion of course. I also didn't like how it seems the movie didn't know what it was doing. For example, they introduce the nuclear element of Godzilla and do mention the areas he's been are contaminated but at the end they make up this rather stupid excuse that he has a special isotope with a half-life of a few months and that Tokyo would be back to normal in 3 years. Compare that to another nuclear disaster like Chernobyl, and this was just an excuse to have a 'happy' ending. I digress, it's probably better than I give it credit for, but I really don't like this film and I am actually glad I found you have similar beliefs to my own

Yeah, if you didn't like Evangelion or the live action Attack on Titan movies, you're probably not going to like Shin either, because it's the same guys making it and they -- especially Hideaki Anno -- tend to repeat themselves stylistically. (I will be the first to admit that I found it more than a little jarring how much of the music in Shin was recycled from Evangelion.) Shin's also a bit different than most Godzilla movies aside from '54 and '84, in that it's really a disaster procedural where the disaster happens to be a ~150m long radioactive monster. The American equivalent of Shin would be an episode of The West Wing set during Godzilla '14, which I would watch the heck out of (but I'm weird that way). While the Shin Godzilla design is not my favorite design for the character, it's probably the scariest one I can think of. The beady eyes, the stunted arms, the creepy way the jaw moves... It's just unsettling, and probably intentionally so. Personally, I enjoyed Shin. (However, I'm also an Evangelion fan, so I kind of knew what to expect from Anno.) I can definitely understand why others might not, though.

Well at least you used constructive criticism unlike some people.....Shin-Godzilla is a very hard movie to wrap your head around. I like shin for what it is! I feel like the main reason why Hideaki Anno made the Political Aspect of the film the main driving point of the film was because of two things. One, for over 60 years, there have always had a love triangle between the main characters, to better drive the story, and find a way to either kill Godzilla or the monster Godzilla if facing. But instead it slows the down the films, and at times the characters just become annoying. Two, The government in japan has gotten worse, and has even become a serious issue, ESPECIALLY after 3/11. So implementing it into the movie would make sense. Now Godzilla himself makes a lot more sense when you think of it like this. The reason why he "walks" is because he's trying to get used to this new environment. In the film they state that he used to be a sea creature. So coming up to a completely different part of the world he's used to,would be jarring and curious. He's like a new born puppy.

You've made the exact same points as several other reviewers so I'll keep my comment brief, disregarding minor complaints. 1) "Godzilla is a character." While he was clearly in some films, he's better known as either a symbol or the driving force behind the plot; that can be symbolic, metaphorical, or literal (ie, any Kubrick or Scorses film). 2) "Too much politics." Kaiju films were never confined to one genre, as they are spectrum of sci-fi/horror/supernatural - giving us more reason to love them. This being a political satire showcases the failures of democracy and asks for a populist approach to the inevitable; a stronger Japan. This leads to my next point. 3) "Characters not memorable." While I would've agreed after seeing Dunkirk, with some afterthought, you realize that is entirely intentional. Parliament, chambers of commerce, the Senate, et cetera - can all be see as puppets or powerful manipulators. Why is it that Yaguchi stands out? Because he stands for change and defeats the monster! No need for the film to be a "character driven movie" when the disaster before me is enough to engulf me in horror and grief. The film has a lot of layers and layers of complexity that make it a perfect entry for new fans and old fans alike after a deep understanding of corruption, natural disasters, and beaucracy. So give it a rewatch after some time has passed and see the difference.

Although I like the film, yours are not invalid complaints and I understand why you feel it this way. As someone who enjoys the film (like Mike from RLM said, I always wanted to see a Godzilla film that is about the politicians and scientists just focusing on stopping the monster without family drama subplot bullshit), I admit that it's missing a more human touch, which isn't good because then we get people like you who are understandably invested less. The Japanese audience was satisfied with this film, and it's understandable why because it hit home close for them, but you just gotta think about the other countries as well, and it's not impossible to do something that satisfies both and we end up with a movie that is universally or almost universally beloved. Since this movie is a metaphor of the Fukushima disaster, they should've added scenes similar to those of HBO's "Chernobyl", where you see how much the radiation is killing people (exaggerating it would be fine since it's coming from a fictional monster), and maybe seeing some body-horror of the dying patients just like in the HBO show, it would highlight and show onscreen how truly horrifying the situation is, and that way it also makes Shin feel like a worse threat, sure it "moves slowly" but you still should run the fuck away from it as far as you can because its radiations will kill you. Show more civilian casualties, don't just say "Oh, this monster is leaving huge amounts of radiations", show the audience how bad the situation is to invest them, don't just tell.

Having seen the movie, aware already of the emphasis on political satire before hand, I have to say: even with this into consideration, much of story is too sedated if that makes sense. Godzilla was far too immobile, I suspect to save costs on the cgi... which considering Legendary's Godzilla, which still made an effort for those effects, reflects even worse on Shin Godzilla. And let's not get started on how almost all the human characters take the stereotype of how Japanese people are reserved to the point of parody, not showing that they are even keeping their panic in check, let alone SHOW ANY TO BEIN WITH! Seeing other reviews gush about the film and the firestorm scene,I had good hopes for this film. Hope's that were dashed as I struggled to laugh at the overly blunt political satire of inefficient government, a main character far too polite in most scenes given the situation, another one, Hiromi Ogashira, seemingly figuring out facts about Godzilla without showing how she came too such conclusions, seemingly with no context to them, and yet she is right!

I think people who say _Shin Godzilla_ the best Godzilla movie ever are wrong. I also think people who say _Shin Godzilla_ is the worst Godzilla movie are wrong. Mind you, I lean more towards _Shin Godzilla_ being bad. Not sure where it stands though, Godzilla has its duds. Also my feeling about the movie changes as I think more about it, sometimes positive and sometimes negative. Omni, I feel you really nitpick here, specifically with the choice of music. *The music fits.* Whether the reused music was used better before does not matter, it fits. Using music a little differently should not be enough to bring the experience down. And yes, that happy music after Godzilla's initial attack was abrupt but it was on purpose. The scene is trying to convey Japan is moving on like it normally did, which the music portrays well. _Shin Godzilla_ is definitely a movie meant for re-watching, *which is bad.* A single watch should be enough to give the viewer what they want. Whether this is on purpose or not, does not matter, do not demand too much from the viewer. I went into this expecting a simple Godzilla movie. On the subject of Godzilla's character or as you say, the lack of character, I think Godzilla does have character. Re-watching the movie, two things stuck out: *first,* Godzilla returned to Tokyo. I remember a furious Japanese politician trying to rationalize why Godzilla is returning to Tokyo and afterwards doing nothing but remaining in Tokyo. *Second* thing I noticed is Goro Maki and how much they focused on him. The first scene of the movie shows Goro Maki's empty boat very close to the initial area where the creature is created. Unraveling Goro Maki's mystery unravels Godzilla. *I think* they are saying Goro Maki is Godzilla, getting his revenge on Japan. Yes, it just walks but it does have a goal in mind, otherwise why would it walk on land at all? And that scene at the end with Godzilla's tail, it appeared as if there was plenty of human-looking skeletons. When I first saw that I just thought _"Whoa! What's with H.R. Giger taking over Godzilla's tail!"_ I cannot tell if this is a good or bad thing. After I referred to the creature as "Godzilla" so many times lets talk about the creature itself not being Godzilla. Well, I agree Omni. This idea came to me when a scientist spoke of the creature capable of evolving wings and flying to other continents. Uh ... Godzilla cannot fly. *But who can fly?* Rodan, Ghidorah, Mothra. So this creature, lets call it Shin Godzilla, is not Godzilla but the progenitor of all the monsters and kaiju. I don't know what my final thoughts are. I feel I need another movie to go along with the first one. Not Shin Godzilla 2 but Shin Godzilla Part 2. I guess this would be a radical change for the Godzilla series to make

I finally watched Shin Godzilla a second time recently, which was the first time I've seen the movie since it's theatrical run in the United States. I still like the movie, but not as much as I did back when I first saw it. It has a lot of several flaws, but it's still a good movie in my eyes. Also, "Persecution of the Masses" DOES play when Godzilla is rampaging through the city. Godzilla even topples a building, killing a family still inside. The constitution part doesn't happen until near the end of the song.

Since you mentioned it my feelings about the 2014 Godzilla movie is that it's a decent B-movie. The reason why I feel this way is because I asked myself "if they didn't call it Godzilla would they feel any different about it?" And to be honest, you could argue that's the biggest issue.And I actually liked the animated series that spawned from it

Oh yeah! Sorry There's been so many Godzilla movies it's hard to remember which is which by what year it was made. Come to think of it the second American Godzilla movie doesn't have any nickname unlike zilla attacks New York.

I thought the music was fantastic. Even the clips that you singled out that you thought didn't work, especially the atomic breath scene. When i heard "Early morning from tokyo" i took that it was intended as a sort of cheeky/ campy aside to the seriousness of what is going on, so with that in mind it didn't bother me or take me out of the action.Aside from the context in which it was played, if you listen to the soundtrack version, it actually is a quite competent and tastefully recorded piece of cool jazz a la miles davis. (I'm a music major FWIW). Also regarding your point about Shin Godzilla itself having "no character"; thats is actually one of the things i liked about it. Its behavior fits it's more monstrous and horror inspired appearance imho. This version of godzilla is supposed to be "a god incarnate", in other words not something that humans can fully comprehend or relate to. Its not just a big animal, its a biological machine of destruction. Not knowing the motivation of the thing terrorizing you lends itself well to the element of horror that was reintroduced in this version. Anthropomorphizing Godzilla has been the mistake that Godzilla movies have been making all this time, in my opinion. Thats not to say that i vehemently dislike the other interpretations, but i just think Shin Godzilla is much more in line with the heart and the overall vibe of the original. granted, the movie wasn't perfect and had its silly moments that i would have done differently if it were up to me. kinda sad you didn't like it.

Yeah, but even the darkest Godzilla movies have presented Godzilla with SOME personality. We saw him destroy a clock tower in the original 1954 film because he saw it as a challenge and he killed those people in the Tokyo Tower out of annoyance from the flashes of their cameras.
@omniviewer21157 жыл бұрын
Oh, the music is very well composed, don't get me wrong. I even recognize that "Early Morning from Tokyo" is well-composed jazz music. I just didn't think it was implemented well in the movie, but again, that's just me. As for anthropomorphizing Godzilla... I mentioned this when I did my original review of Godzilla 2014 years back, but to me, the anthropomorphizing is another part of what makes Godzilla and his kaiju brethren distinct. In mythology, most monsters can be split into two categories: Ogres and Dragons. Ogres are the human-like monsters, in whom we are meant to see reflections of ourselves; Dragons are the inhuman monsters, representing that which is alien to us. Godzilla should be a Dragon, but he's humanoid like an Ogre, thus meaning he is both at once. Even though he is a grand force of raw power, we are also meant to see some of ourselves in him. In the original film, for example, the intention was for him to be both the embodiment of the Atomic Bomb and a victim of it, hence details like his scarred skin. This is why, despite the death and destruction he causes, his death at the end is treated just as tragically as Dr. Serizawa's. That's my take, anyway.

Thank you for this. I thought I was the only one who didn’t enjoy Shin Godzilla. I’ve loved Godzilla films for 50 years, and saw Shin Godzilla in its brief subtitled US theatrical run. I left the theater in disbelief - it was the most boring Godzilla film I’ve ever watched. And inexplicably Godzilla seemed often like a comatose statue. I still love the big guy. But this film? Not so much. You nailed it in your review.

I am sorry, but it did not sound like you understood this Godzilla at all. I know that you dislike an 'unnatural aesthetic,' but that is not a valid criticism, like complaining about being disproportional when it is clearly meant to look freaky. Not to mention your dislike of Godzilla not noticing humanity due to their insignificance like some sort of lovecraftian god. Your complaints honestly just sounded shallow.

The Nausicaa short I think it's supposed to be all "what in the (censored) hell IS THAT (CENSORED) THING?!?". I really have no defense for "Attack on Titan", both because I haven't seen it nor because I don't know much of the show's plot to say it hints at anything (and from the little I do know I guess we can safely say that it's an Alternate Universe to the actual show).
@elekinggudon32454 жыл бұрын
I myself personally don't really enjoy Shin Godzilla. Not hate, but I just don't like it. I would say most of the problems usually come around to Shin Godzilla himself. I tend to refer to this version of Godzilla as Shin Godzilla, as he sort of feels more like a different type of monster from most versions of Godzilla, kinda similar to Zilla in a way. Personally, the design is interesting as a Kaiju, just not what I look for when comes to Godzilla, again like Zilla, a cool monster design but not for Godzilla. the way the final form sort of looks like the a deformed version of the 1954 incarnation kinda make me think it could possible work more as monster similar to the scrapped Ghost Godzilla for the Heisei series. Personally, if it were up to me, I would get rid of the form changing and mainly alter the fourth form of Shin Godzilla. I would shorten the tail a bit and get rid of the extra head on the tail, make the arms longer and more muscular, keep some of the red glowing highlights and get rid of the snake like lower jaw but keep the overall head to keep some of the more creepy aspects of Shin Godzilla. Like with Omni, I see Godzilla as character and I wish we could saw some character from Shin Godzilla in this film. Maybe with being a mutated sea animal that comes to land for the first time, maybe having him exploring more of the city and looking down at the humans as if he sees them as prey, almost of though he when from being prey himself to become the very top predator, as Godzilla that is perhaps power hungry and wants to maintain his new position as top of the food chain and wanting to rule his new kingdom on land.

First, I love the movie. Second, you explained your dislike of the move far better than people i personally know who get irrationally mad at me for liking it. Their arguments boil down to a single point of "his eyes are soulless". So it was very refreshing to see an argument against the movie that was nuanced and well thought out. Third, I feel this movie is sadly far more topical in 2020, for the world, with everything that has happened and the bureaucracy that ties relief and truth down. That's just me.

This is an opinion that will change once I get access to more information, down here in Costa Rica, so making it known in advance: Well... from what extremely little I have seen, it looks like Shin Ultraman follows this same formula... take it as you will. It’s a second serving of the same recipe, slight change on the spices. You either will like it or you will hate it and probably by the time Shin Kamen Rider comes, you will either want to go to Japan to give Hideaki Anno a great hug or turn his nose into an accordion.

9:08 i like how when omni viewer expressed his opinion on shin godzilla being the worst godzilla he's ever seen, a picture of zilla appears to remind him of which IS the worst godzilla interpretation, which would be the 1998 godzilla because of its radical redesign and huge departure of the source material.
