I never thought I would almost cry watching a Godzilla movie. This movie was beautiful and horrifying

[@maxmcintyre5068]

Likewise

[@dwifter6268]

I literally cried. I'm a 29 year old dude but everything these characters went through... it's a great story.

[@moreplz]

I had to wipe my eyes before leaving the theater.

[@scholarishere]

A tear came to my eye when Godzilla whooped Kong because it finally settled an argument I’ve had since childhood 😂

[@leeolie3728]

Very good storytelling. This was some epic greek tragedy type writing. They also paid extra attention to the details of the characters and atmosphere of the settings.

[@orzhov12]

I never care about the human characters in a Godzilla movie but WOW did this film change that! Godzilla was offscreen for almost 30 minutes and I did not notice because I was so invested in the characters. So many tragic moments in the story that had me floored. The story, characters, acting, CGI, practical effects, music, pacing, and cinematography were all amazing! This isn't just a impeccable Godzilla movie. It is a masterpiece of a movie, period. 🎉🎉🎉

Godzilla Minus One was not a "great Godzilla movie." Godzilla Minus One was a GREAT movie that happened to have Godzilla in it!!

That was my take coming out of the theater

The human story is so good I almost dreaded Godzilla showing up and making things worse.

[@ericschuller908]

Just saw it today with my wife - it's our first wedding anniversary - and we absolutely loved the movie! Koichi's struggle with PTSD is one of my favorite plot points of the movie. While my wife was concerned it might trigger me a bit, it was very cathartic how his breakdown with Noriko was and how he made the move from seeking redemption through death to choosing to live. It was a truly moving film and easily my favorite Godzilla movie of all time!

[@barryrobinson1041]

As a Vet, that subplot was very good!

[@ericschuller908]

@@barryrobinson1041 I'm not a vet - PTSD from child abuse and other things - but it was very relatable regarding how Koichi felt disconnected and was questioning whether he was really alive or not. The way he freaked out was very much what it can be like.

[@thisspaceforrent5737]

Happy anniversary!

[@infallibleblue]

Totally agree. PTSD and or survivor’s guilt was shown and not just told in the movie. Great movie and story telling

[@azkon7975]

This actually links back to the original 1954 Godzilla movie. In 1954, the War and the Atomic Bombs were very fresh in Japan's memory. The original was very dark and bittersweet. Godzilla, an allegory for nuclear weapons testing and war, appears and unstoppably wrecks everything and leaves. However, the original 1954 Godzilla was extremely cathartic to the Japanese audience. Watching the movie allowed them to process the trauma and grief that had been under the surface. That's why the original Godzilla is so culturally important to Japan. I watched Godzilla Minus One with my SO and we both loved it. It was so good.

[@aztecgoji]

Masterpiece of a film, in all honesty should be nominated for Best Picture

Yes, but it is also relatable with our vets and others in survival. Abuse and toxic culture too. Great movie

[@jacobwaldrop8604]

I have watched every Godzilla movie, and been watching Godzilla all of my life. I am ready to call it. This is the best Godzilla movie ever made. The fact that I took my wife who has hated every single Godzilla movie I have dragged her to except for Godzilla vs Kong (only because she thought Kong was cute), and she loved it. I was blown away.

Oh gosh, yes, the praise is not only coming from the audience and critics, but the box office is actually doing so well for this film! I can tell that this film is trying not to be over the top with its plot line and characters. Just having a film being done with the budget and directing it has really does determine how well it will go.

[@ba2724]

Agreed. I've just watched it for the third time, and hope to see it again before they pull it out of the theaters (supposedly in a few days' time). Best movie I've seen in years. Thank you, Toho!

[@doomguydemonkiller]

Godzilla Minus One was the best film of the year for me. I was actually terrified of Godzilla and his “atomic” breathe finally lives up to its name.

[@Holylans]

I have seen it twice in the theater. The early release with my wife who is not a Godzilla fan like me but she wanted to see this after I showed her trailer and then again on release day with my Godzilla friends. My wife thought it was a really good film despite being a Godzilla film. I think it's the best Godzilla film to date (yes even better than Shin). And it is by far the best film of 2023 so far.

[@azkon7975]

I originally really liked Shin Godzilla. Then a movie essayist I deeply respect said he had a lot of issues with the film. After thinking about it, I think he's right. Now, Shin Godzilla is a really great movie. It's well made and really uses Godzilla well and is a great portrayal and commentary of the failures of government. The problem with Shin Godzilla is how pessimistic it is. Sometimes to a comedic level. Not to say what happened in the movie isn't realistic. In fact, some of the things are so funny BECAUSE it has happened in real life. The scene where a bunch of people in the board room finishes the meeting (and get nothing done), and then every single person enters the same other room for a slightly different meeting with the same exact people. That scene made me laugh out loud because I've been there. Weirdly cathartic to see it on screen. But the problems with the movie sorta stems from Hideaki Anno (creator of Evangelion). He's a great director and he makes great movies. But his complete lack of faith in humanity and his fetish for military equipment is apparent in Shin Godzilla. The human characters in the movie also just kinda feel like parts of a machine. I think it's really interesting to see ineffective and effective bureaucracy in the form of a movie (and have it be actually really interesting). However, all the movie sorta leaves you is a general disdain for the machinery of humanity. The solution presented is to replace the old bureaucrats with the new and hopefully things are better? Something like that. Godzilla Minus One is such a deeply human story. It's more in line with the original 1954 version where it explores the aftermath of war and of people trying to put their lives back together. I adore it very much.

[@ChilledBacon]

shin godzilla is probably a more realistic approach to what would actually lhappen if godzilla just appeared, while minus one is a fleshed out story that expresses specific humanistic values. sometimes realism doesnt mean better@@azkon7975

[@Saplo101]

@@azkon7975although i love shin godzilla and is arguably my favorite and i do have to agree with what you said with the characters in it, they don’t seem very human and all to move the plot forward as there is not really any story building with them, which i never truly noticed until seeing minus one and what they could do, watching minus one really gave me what I didn’t know was missing in shin Godzilla. For this reason i really see shin Godzilla dropping off from my favorite (despite him still being my favorite Godzilla to ever be put on the screen) the character building in this movie was just too good and impactful to leave it unnoticed

[@jpnw3272]

I disagree about the subtitles. The real problem is advertising and screens. It’s hard to compete with Hollywood here. Could you imagine a trailer played during an NFL game or even a college football game? My cinema didn’t even have a poster up! This is my favorite movie of the year and one of the best experiences I had in a theater in years. I have two young sons. They’re reading the subtitles. They weren’t upset about subtitles. It’s this incredible dramatic story done so eloquently on screen - especially with characters that you care about. Wow. What a movie!

[@Abbeville_Kid]

I don’t recall a poster up at my cinema either. It’s a shame because there’s a lot of people out there that are going to miss out on a great movie.

[@vicv3940]

I live in Australia and the only marketing I saw for this movie was here on KZbin with the official trailers. And those trailers slated the movie to only be a Japan and America theatre release. I googled Minus One a few days ago to see what the consensus was on it and sure enough in my search I saw Minus One appear to have screenings at theatres in Australia (albeit very limited). I saw it just yesterday with family, including 2 children that had no issues at all watching a movie that had subtitles. But yeah, the issue was definitely marketing. There was literally no marketing for it in my home city in Aus, not even a poster. It was only by chance did I happen to realise there were screenings of it in my city. And ofc the movie was great. Easily the best Godzilla flick for me in over a decade.

[@Abbeville_Kid]

@@vicv3940 I guess that’s how you make a 15M$US movie. No marketing budget. I saw it on KZbin, that’s the only way I knew it was coming out.

This movie was so good, you forget about the monster beause you've been so caught up in the characters, It was incredible

[@hendrsb33]

I found GM1 to be a breath of fresh air from the usual Hollywood tropes. No rebellious teenagers, no marriage on the rocks, no quick-wealth schemes, no shadow corporate agendas-- just a simple story about people I grew to care about. America's been polarized for so long, that it's nice to see good people unifying to face adversity, even if for two hours. Let's see Hollywood make something more satisfying with just $15M. Go, go, Godzilla!

Big win for the Kaiju fandom! I saw it in DTLA in 4DX after Comic Con (missed promo opportunity- Gundam had a bigger presence than Godzilla this weekend). What a roller coaster ride! (physical and emotional). The crowd was loving it and after the 2nd atomic breath blast one dude yelled out "Rewind that sh1t!:" and the theater was like "hell yeah!"

[@stinkfloyd1]

Not one IMAX theater has it in the NY/NJ metropolitan area until Tuesday. Went to see it in a normal AMC screen. IT IS AMAZING. Godzilla is frightening. I never felt fright from any Godzilla. This one nailed it.

[@TheRecklessMetalhead]

I saw it in the DFX theater and it was well done. A must-watch in the special theater, and it felt like you got to witness the event, not a movie. When it hits the physical media (meaning Bluray and 4K), it's nothing like an event but still, it's a masterpiece of a movie.

[@pinkfloydguy7781]

@@PV1230 Yeah, I want the people who work on these films to get paid well for their hard work and creativity but I think it would be best for films if directors had to do more with less. Because then you can’t just brush bad writing under the rug with tons of special effects scenes. As many people hate the Star Wars sequels now, just imagine. No one would watch those nonsensical pos if you only saw one lightsaber duel and space battle per film like it was in the OT. But the OT made so much more out of less action sequences because the story was compelling and when those lightsabers ignited, you felt excited and invested in the outcome.

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

This was probably my favourite Godzilla movie and one of the movies from 2023 that I enjoyed the most. Not only I felt like it did an excellent job in showing the impact of Godzilla's appearance in everyday people's life, but for once I was really invested in the human characters and concerned they may not make it. Great balance, and I feel it really captured and updated some of the magic of the original movie. The fact that it only costed 15M $, while Hollywood with ten times the budget had done the equivalent of children smashing their monster toys, is also a testament of the fantastic job of the people involved in producing this movie.

This movie was incredible! I'm hoping to get to see it a second time. I'd love to see more Godzilla content including your top Godzilla movies! I actually have 2 lists which ones I think are the best Godzilla movies and which are my favorites. Right now (subject to change cause def riding the hype train) Minus 1 is 2nd on my best movies and 3rd on my favorites both times it's right behind the original 54 and my favorite Godzilla movie is the original Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla. As for the movie itself, yes they actually wrote a complete good movie and didn't just phone in the human drama thinking "We'll just rely on the special effects to carry the movie!" Also Hollywood needs to take note cause this movie was made for $15M and looks better in a lot of sequences than some of these $200M+ movies. The scenes with Godzilla were awe inspiring, whether it be the tiny bit you get at the start or the Jaws like sequence they've shown in the trailers. Idk what it is but I LOVE getting to see Godzilla in the water, it's like an integral part of the character that we almost never get to see him in there so it was super cool to see that more. Additionally I loved that they took him back to his horror roots, that's two of my fave IPs that have gone back to their horror roots in recent years (Incredible Hulk being the other) for smashing success!

Minus One 3. Shin Godzilla 4. vs. Destroyah 5. vs. Hedorah Going to watch it again in standard sometime this week to see if that affects my opinion. I won't talk about the film too much to avoid spoilers for others but I really loved that despite being horrific and and depressing most of the time its main theme was affirmation of life and striving to go forward. It was just the right film for me to see currently, definitely needed that boost.

[@andyheydt]

I watched the original 1954 Godzilla film in preparation for this and then I watched Godzilla Minus One on Friday evening and man, it was great! The story was just so gripping and Godzilla himself was just such a menacing presence. The climax was so thrilling, especially when they mixed in the original theme music and the ending almost made me cry. While watching this, I thought to myself "how on earth did they make this on such a minuscule budget of 15 million dollars"?!

[@pinkfloydguy7781]

Yeah, I think people are starting to wake up and realize that god old fashioned story writing is the most important thing in any piece of media, not animating the hell out of everything with CGI. You give a team a smaller budget, they have to make it good with writing! And the CGI they achieved with how little they were given looks fantastic. Much more real-feeling in my opinion than anything Hollywood is doing. And isn’t the point of all the effects to be immersive, to feel like you’re looking at real life and NOT a 3 hour video game cutscene? So yeah I have no problem with movies having smaller budgets, as long as everyone involved is still getting paid generously for their hard work and creativity!

[@sonicguyver7445]

Dude, I'm only 2 minutes into your video and I can tell you are awesome. I have that exact same Godzilla toy too! Got it on my fifth birthday. And this movie sounds amazing.

When people say shin, Godzilla was crazy I think it’s a metaphor for stupid Lasers coming out of his tail The damn thing is just standing in the middle of Tokyo for a couple of weeks Instead of everyone leaving, which is what people would do they’re just kind of their driving around him The whole thing was This movie was exceptional Fantastic acting

[@MPeaches1958]

When it was dragging itself along the ground, with the unblinking button eyes, it looked like a Muppet on coke.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

Shin was a metaphor for Fukushima and the government's mishandling of it. It's supposed to be ridiculous because that's what actually happened

[@BetelgeuseBetelgeuseBetelgeuse]

@@Ash_Wen-liA point that’s gonna be lost on clueless Americans such as above…

[@BloodyLunacy]

Loved your review and it echoes many of my sentiments for the movie. For me, Shin is my favorite behind the original and my feelings post credits on Minus One was that it was right up there, possibly on par with 1954. It managed to evoke so many of those feelings in me as a 35 year old adult that I had when I saw it as a 6 year old kid and that means a lot. I'm spreading the word and telling people to go watch it. It's just too good.

[@sourcecode5273]

Godzilla Minus One was not made by hollyweird weird , so of course it will be a hit!

[@ひろおかたくや]

こちら日本！ 観に行って下さってありがとうございます！！

[@rocker76m88]

Your intro was everything 😂😂😂 Just saw this movie and loved it!!

[@TheBlindWeasel]

About the breaths, Legendary's sound as it builds up his fins sticks with you, that and the way he solves the problem of the MUTO resisting it from the outside, Shin is actually inventing his beam to counteract the attack coming from the sky the noment it happens, as his biology indicated, it coupled with Who Will Know makes it unforgettable, and Minus having a trigger shot so immediately powerful it creates a cloud and actually hurts him forcing a cooldown period makes you think "yep, they gotta keep making them this fresh", makes me remember how much I liked Singular Point Godzilla's beam evolving a bit along his shape

[@halcyonflo0r952]

It is genuinely my favorite movie of all time. No exaggeration

[@peterprovost426]

I had the exact same experience. And I am not even a Godzilla movie buff. I thought I was crazy until I started watching the reviews. There is something special about this film. I just saw it for the second time in 3 days and will be going again with my wife and kids.

[@c.walter7890]

Did you see Love and Monsters? Looks amazing and cost $25 million

[@CHRISMED2]

This was an amazing film, now we need a Godzilla vs Gamera movie. Finally

[@chino581991]

They really made Godzilla’s destruction memorable and impactful. Yeah Legendary’s Godzilla is destructive but I never got an emotional response like I did in this film. Well done for sure

[@chrismiller8622]

Left me speechless! So many emotions. An instant classic!!

[@AloysiusDsouza-qm5ud]

Just watched it in theaters it was really good

[@Mindhacker1961]

I watched this movie today (GTC Riverwatch Cinemas 832 Cabela Drive, Augusta 30909). I enjoyed the film and thought it was very worth my while seeing. I would have liked to see Godzilla move faster than what he did. The storyline is noteworthy and draws empathy from the viewers as they experience the dilemma the lead characters face.

[@beachbumLifestyle]

My only issue with the movie was Godzilla wasn’t in it that much

[@luisa.acevedo3326]

Hollywood studios have bloated budgets because of the salaries. Almost every worker from actors to designers gets paid much more.

[@FanGirl9463]

Pretty causal Godzilla fan, still need to see the movie just glad the videos doing well.

[@sirc625]

Great movie! Go OUT and see this in the theater 💯

[@rickhammel9541]

I hope they don't cut the release short, this movie will and should gross a couple hundred million dollars in just the US alone. Amazing movie, the best of all the Godzilla movies ever.

[@stevenstevenson5303]

Watched it last night, i had heard of the great reviews but was so shook. I grew up on Godzilla, this was the first time i was rooting for the human characters to take him down. He was terrifying. The characters were all wonderful. When i left i thought it was great but I've been thinking and thinking about it. Am seriously thinking of going to watch it again

[@simeonaakjaer5661]

I thought the subtitles were ok because there wasn’t too much too fast. it was really easy to follow

[@tengiskoks9883]

Everyone had at some point godzilla toy with these weird eyes 😄Especially after witnessing Godzilla cartoon series. Now i feel old

[@jasondunaway7324]

I just got home from seeing it, it was awesome! Even my mom liked it, and she never watches subtitles

[@jasondunaway7324]

As you said just that hahaha

[@emceha]

Didn't watch it yet, but from spoilers it looks like ending is better and deeper than i imagined. One small change, one condition, and man who failed turned into brave, thinking on the fly hero. It also says a lot about humans in general, just having that one thing can motivate you to do an amazing things and risk a lot.

[@ricardolopezjr8602]

It was awesome no words on this godzilla minus one movie was the best of all Godzilla's movies

[@nightlydata2181]

Out of all the serious films where he's more neutral to antagonistic this 1 felt I saw Godzilla the most lol. I think Shin is still my fav overall & has my fav version of him but by far this film to me had the "best" human characters I've seen out of these. I loved this film a lot & I came close to tearin up quite a bit lol

[@largesmallworld]

While this film is a known ip it is still a foreign film which will limit its audience. Also despite its lack of advertising it should do very well due to positive word of mouth. It will make a profit but don't expect the same box office numbers as mainstream movies. If a hollywood actor was hired I assume most of the $15 million budget would have been used up.

[@andrewcaballero743]

Finally A movie to go to a theater for hopefully a popcorn movie 👍👍👍🥳 can't wait 😊
