A film that simultaneously honours the majesty of Godzilla and the tragedy of World War II. Takashi Yamazaki delivers a blockbuster worthy of the tributes it pays to a certain Mr. Spielberg.
Enjoyable and well rounded characters exist in a traumatized Japan, laden with post-war guilt and that's where Godzilla Minus One really excels. Yamazaki rejects the need to anthropomorphize the titular character and instead trusts his characters to do the heavy-lifting. That's not to say that we don't get…
I was well aware of the negative reception the film had received before sitting down to watch this and yet, somehow, this was still worse than I expected.
I've sat on this for a couple of days because I was so irritated after watching and I didn't want emotions to cloud my thoughts...

David Gordon Green, what in the world are we going to do with you? You can't just be going around…

I've always considered this a "guilty pleasure” of mine and must have watched it a dozen times or so but being honest, my knowledge of the source material is spotty at best.

I adored this. Not going into a full on review/breakdown because I genuinely wouldn't know where to begin and I intend to revisit this a plenty, so I'll get my chance again.
I will say that it was just on the edge of losing me (near the end of the second act) but it won me right back and then some!
This goes all the fuckin way, acting and production. What an amazing year for horror fans.
