I can't stop thinking about this movie since watching it. I think I need to see it again before they stop its screenings. It's very rare for me to want to see the same movie twice in theaters.

I am a 57 year old life long fan of Godzilla....Minus 1 is the best one ever from any franchise. Even better than the 54 original.

Just saw Godzilla Minus One today. It's better than it had any right to be. I really cared about the characters. My 10 yo son said it was 10 out of 10 and now his favorite movie. We loved it.

This movie hit home. Very emotional and the finale had me in silence at the end. Great movie.

i knew this movie was special when my two old friends (who know nothing about Godzilla) wept like babies, especially at the end of the movie

Minus one did something no other Godzilla move has ever done. Made me actually cry.

🦖Minus One was great. Definitely the best human story of any Godzilla movie. I hope Legendary keeps making Godzilla movies sillier and sillier...it's like Showa era 2.0. Cheesy hero Godzilla is always fun. I hope Toho continues to explore the darker side of Godzilla. Shin was amazing, and until Minus One it was my favorite.

🦖 I loved Minus One so much that I have seen it three times in theaters, which is a new record for me! While I prefer the more serious side of Godzilla, I can still appreciate the goofier and more outlandish iterations as well.

I've seen Godzilla Minus One twice on the big screen. I need to see it one more time before it is gone. I have 3 days.

🦖 I love Godzilla and I can’t imagine a better representation of the traditional Godzilla than Minus One. It was a pleasure to watch.

This should win an Oscar.

🦖 I watched this movie twice because it was that good!!! Honestly this is the film I've been recommending to all of my friends and even my students! This film stayed with me to the point where I'm working on fan art for it! I honestly would love to watch it a third time, hopefully with a friend or family member because I want more people to experience this film!

I saw it alone first time. I quickly took my wife, a couple days after so that we can talk about the movie with her. This movie has so much depth as a human drama to talk about such as what it means to be in a war and to live for the future

Your comment about it being an 80s movie is true. And that is what the audiences are circling back to.

"Godzilla minus one" is my favourite movie of this year after Spider-man: across the spider-verse. Spider-Man's movie is animated so there's total creative freedom. This is its only advantage over "Godzilla minus one". I really love the feelings that the mc shows. For this reason my favourite scene is when he talks to the girl about his past and starts crying, it's the movie essence: a movie about Japan's regret feeling after the end of the war and the search for redemption (which in the movie is symbolized by Godzilla). I interpret it like this. Furthermore, the film is capable of making you fully feel not only the feelings of the Japanese, but also the destroyed environment in which they live and the weight of the atomic bomb (which Oppenheimer doesn't do very well for me).

Great writing, great acting, great directing...everything Hollywood can't do. P.S. my wife was reluctant to see a Godzilla movie and she said it was a very good movie and she was never a Godzilla fan.

Already saw it, loved it, if its still playing at my local theater this weekend I'm going to see it again

So glad that I watched this movie on big screen, awesome cinema experience

3rd viewing tomorrow in IMAX. Absolutely loved this movie and have told everyone at work (including customers) to see it ASAP. 57yo Zilla fan(figures and model builds for proof) and this is everything I wanted that I thought King of Monsters would provide.🦖 Also think that shot of Godzilla and the mushroom cloud should be a poster. I'd have that in my garage, model room and living room....and bedroom, why not!?

Awesome brilliant effects moving and touching story like characters great sound and visuals deserve an Oscar

🦖 This movie is the closest thing to a remake or a spiritual successor to the 1954 original. It showed as things we have never seen or thought about the franchise, made us really really care about the humans and made Godzilla terrifying again. I hope there will be a sequel or they make this into a trilogy. And damm its good to be a Godzilla fan right now.

Couple of things, from someone who has seen this film 6 times (yes, I have a problem, and that problem is that I haven't seen it 7 times), I don't think Noriko's survival at the end invalidates the pain that comes from when she appears to die. Because, at that moment, Shikishima believes she is dead. And Ryunosuke Kamiki's performance sells the absolute devastation that Shikishima feels in that moments. It's a gut punch every single time, even though I know Noriko isn't dead. Secondly, the ending, while obviously setting up a sequel, is also a reference to another Godzilla movie that Yamazaki took inspiration from: Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, which has a final shot that is almost exactly the same as Minus One's final shot. There are other ways that the influence of GMK can be seen in Minus One, but the final shot is the big one.

🦖Hands down one of the best movies of 2023🎉❤

Greatest Godzilla movie ever, I actually felt fear. Like I did when I first watched the OG version as a kid

GM1 is my family’s favorite because of the aspects that aren’t Godzilla. Story matters and having great human characters matters too. We’ll still go see the next Legendary Monsterverse film. It’s different and more “fun”. Hopefully there is a good story in that one too.

Im glad that now many non-Japanese people know Kamikaze pilot was not a crazy suiciding terrorists. They all had human backgrounds but was forced by duty.

Excellent and incisive review. I’ve seen it twice and agree with your assessment of the film.

Don’t know if anyone has said this but the sludge is most likely black rain and is a effect of a nuclear bomb best comparison to that I can give is acid rain and also that being the case I think the ending could also imply a much darker idea with how the bomb effected people after the war with radiation and the surroundings people so noriko may not survive long after the fact or koichi due to exposure …that said could be reading into to far..also the ending with Godzilla may just be a simple nod to GMK tho if it’s a sequel oh boy but ig you could also see it as representation of how trauma/ptsd doesn’t just go away

Minus One is my monster movie of all time and one of my favorite movies in general

How the hell do you only have 8K subscribers?????? Fantastic job. 🦖🦖🦖🦖

Hey nice job on opening with that clip of the Cloverfield monster. Even if that movie wasn't so great, the monster was. So glad that Godzilla Minus One is kicking Hollywood's ass, and it's about time!

the cool thing about how this godzilla's breath is is that right when his charge up reaches his head and he takes in a deep breath you can see Cherenkov radiation in the air he is sucking in

Wish this give breath to dead monsters/disasters movies comeback. Really love them back in 2000s before superhero era blow up and took over everything.

The first encounter with Godzilla in this movie was truly terrifying, especially watching it in dbox seats

Now this is epic

Saw it yesterday here in Vienna 🦖 not knowing anything about the movie regarding trailers and such. Amazing movie, I had a very good time.

4:51 what you said made me cry Beautifully put

It was awesome, and while i was watching i genuinely thought i was watching like a 100k+ youtuber dude you're so underrated

🦖 hands down the best Godzilla movie I've ever seen. And I've been a fan since I was a kid. Glad I found your channel, too. New subscriber!!! 😁

🦖 One of the best films I’ve seen in the last couple years, and my new favorite Godzilla movie

This movie is AWESOME... !!

100% agree with the character analysis. I was almost disappointed when Godzilla time came as it got away from the human part of the story. SIDE NOTE: When you talk about CGI and budgets....a trailer b4 Godzilla was for the new Aquaman. A perfect example of a shit story with over-the-top CGI. I won't even watch that one when it shows up for free on the crack sites. Godzilla is a MUST SEE !

Usually in a monster movie I'm like yeah characters now let's get to the Monster. But this movie I wanted to see the characters. It felt like a real movie with an actual story and not some movie that made just for nostalgia.

🦖 yeah better monster movie, better dark, sad story, best godzilla I've ever seen,

Thank you for this. So much.

Been watching Godzilla since early '70's Saturday afternoons at the theater as a kid. (Have a tattoo, lol) So glad to finally get acknowledged!! 😃

I’ve seen it 3 Times‼️🥇🥈🥉

🦖 Best Godzilla movie, ever.

Something that I took from the ending is that Noriko IS dead. The Noriko we see at the end is the same as Godzilla. Her cells are rebuilding and healing her even after being disintegrated by the atomic blast. If this is true, it would’ve been cool to see other people from the incident reuniting with their family. Adding a mystery for the sequel. Perhaps they can be linked to Godzilla in some telepathic way. That being said, I dont know if i want a sequel. I don't see what those characters have more to say. Their arcs were nearly perfect.

11:00 yes yes yes exactly!! You just gain a subscription for that take 🦖

🦖10:46 Couldn't agree more. I love Legendary for focusing more on the monster side of Godzilla movies but its nice to finally see a Godzilla film do humans correctly.

After the original from 1954 this is above all that followed. I’m 60 years old and have seen them all multiple times. This was more like a film than a movie.

Definitely buying it when it releases 😁

I cried manly tears of relief and joy at Noriko's "miraculous" survival. She was the emotional heart of the movie and having her taken away had me internally screaming like Shikishima while ashen rain fell. This Godzilla was hateful, spiteful, and a true test of spirit for a Japan on its knees. All that aside, I loved Doc and the salty Captain. They were absolutely brilliant mentors and friends to our sad lad.

🦖 11:00 That shit got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Batman doesn't kill (shows begins) or does he? (shows bvs)" well, Batman's killed in every live action movie prior to BvS. He killed joker in 89, he killed clowns in returns, he killed two face in batman forever, he killed the ninjas by starting the fire in begins. he killed dent. he killed Talia. I still find it fascinating how no one had a problem with it or turned a blind eye until Zack Snyder directed a movie.

Hands down

Godzilla finally has even footing with his colleague Kong whose 1933 film(35 cent ticket, took time with no TV & Internet) put him INSIDE our soul. Minus one is the Godzilla more than a monster movie soul saving turn we need today as King Kong was needed back then ❤. Think about what happen after WWII, we rebuilt it instead of enslave it as the United States could have. Minus one is to prevent WWIII esp. internationally(quicker with TV and Internet) because with Nukes there will be nothing to rebuild 🎉 ? Ojibyf

Right on. Thanks for sharing.

Best movie I've watched since infinity wat

It is a remake. Story points were changed and given a different human story.

🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖i love godzilla, i love this video, good video

Godzilla GMK: "Wait, Hold my beer!"😏🍺

i havnt seen any godzilla since 2014 literally every movie before ive seen but havnt been bothered the past 7ish years, but ill catch up on tohos stuff soon here

if noriko is infected then so should Shikishima since he basked in that black rain.

Love this video 🦖

🦖🦖🦖

Beatin godzilla cheeks smoking legacy pack

I don't think it's THE BEST but it's up there for sure

I loved it and loved the music !!!

I honestly think TOHO should just buy the rights to the Cloverfield monster. I think they would have great potential to add classical horror tropes from European and Western horror genres and add actual bad people villains for a secondary human action plot in the background of a disaster. Because there are MONSTERS and people out there that will play off of that.

I rewatched the movie a 2nd time last night , go rewatch it its just as good and and a few details make more sense ! Amazing

🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖🦖

🦖godzilla minus one might be the best modern monster film of the 2020's assuming the next few goji installments don't surpass it!

Best movie of the year.

4DX is the best theater for this movie

This movie was fing awesome

8:32 Finally! Someone says it!

Godzillian dollars

And.....IT WASN'T WOKE!!!! I LUV'D IT!!!

I like it but it's really just a Star wars slash Top Gun Maverick version of Godzilla.... Come one it has a loner losers protagonist who all the sudden makes friends and creates a family and then have to fly into the incredible impossible final boss fight... And oh when everything seems hopeless ... Han Solo flies in and saves the protagonist.... Aka bunch of tug boats.

W Oppenheimer

The best realistic movie before Godzilla minus one was Cloverfield!

GMK Godzilla as the same effect as -1.0 Godzilla

I'm glad she lived and thousands of people survived the nuclear bombs

I'm so glad this movie did so well since I would not have gotten the chance to see it in the theater. The whole shooting of an atomic explosion seems like something a fan would devise. This really does take the metaphor in a literal sense, doesn't it? Again so happy to have seen it with my family; we were talking about the movie for hours on end.

Demonstrates how culturally and intellectually boring, pretentious, and humiliatingly emotionless America has become. Good to see other nations still have heart and a basic understanding of what being a human is like.

Aw dude....spoiler warning next time huh? I already saw it twice by the time i watched this but dude.

At first I thought that the last scene of the movie, with the black bruise writhing around Noriko's neck, who had miraculously survived, and Godzilla's amazing regenerative ability, was not necessary. However, when I thought of Godzilla as a metaphor for nuclear weapons, I was convinced that it was necessary. Godzilla will never die, just as nuclear weapons will never disappear from this world. I interpreted Noriko's black birthmark, probably a G-cell, as representing the semi-permanent effects of the atomic bomb. Shikishima himself, the main character in the film, is also hit by black rain containing a large amount of radioactive fallout, and Shikishima and Noriko are exposed to the atomic bomb. Naturally, the happiness of the three does not last long. Perhaps the director wanted to convey the seriousness of the effects of nuclear weapons.

15million dollars probably has more buying power in Japan's movie industry than 150 million dollars in the US. So Minus1 may in fact look better than a 200 million dollar US movie. If the original LOTR was made in the US rather tham NZ at the same budget, what do you think it would be like? We have the Amazon Rings of Power to help us guess.

In addition a tip on top of your thoughtful content, The reason why Godzilla's behavior is unnatural. (In the first place, Godzilla's existence exceeds the rules of physics and biology. That's why people are afraid of Godzilla.) Godzilla is TATARIGAMI as mention Takashi Yamazaki in a interview, TATARIGAMI is a spirit (high-dimensional being) that continued to be feared even after it died a violent death as a human. There is also a theory that he is the incarnation of a heroic spirit who died during WW2. (TATARIGAMI is also depicted in Ghibli's Princess Mononoke. The black stain is common in both films.) Although TATARIGAMI is a wild spirit and is feared and shunned, if it is carefully enshrined, it can become a powerful guardian deity. They are the gods that are worshiped. How would you describe the existence between God and living things as follows? The director and CG artists spent more than six months developing Godzilla's walking style.

1998 Zilla doesn't have atomic breath! those cars just exploded. Zilla probably had bad fish breath 😂

I lol'd at your expression "that mothaf- can fly!" 🦖
