this is the fastest a (real) godzilla film gets a us date, i wonder what the hell happened there. even the honda films which were co-produced with americans didn't get released so quickly.
damn it looks ugly tbh
yeah Shin Godzilla looked betterUgly? Wut
Going from a real auteur like Anno to a play it safe journeyman Yamazaki is all around a huge bummer, but I'm still cautiously optimistic about it.yeah Shin Godzilla looked better
This is almost exactly how I felt. I had a ton of fun, but the melodrama didn’t really click for me. Still a good time at the movies, though.saw this over the weekend, have some mixed feelings mostly over how overbearingly melodramatic it is and some aspects of the finale that didn't quite work, but also it rocks. not even close to the level of Shin Godzilla for me but it's really cool that something like this can still be made with like 10% of the budget of the last few (bad!) hollywood ones and do well.
I don't think I've seen a non-Gamera giant monster movie that focuses so closely on a single character (though it does create the effect that Godzilla really has it out for this one guy in particular—and maybe he does!). and the place that character is coming from and the implications it has for the movie's themes are genuinely interesting, even if it didn't all quite land for me. oh and the score is great.
and despite any quibbles i may have: they dunked godzilla like a big cookie. so its hard to complain really
Never expected to cry watching a Godzilla movie.
I saw this tonight. I loved it! I forgot how amazing a GOOD action movie can be in the cinema. It has so much heart. The Godzilla scenes totally kick ass! It looks beautiful. I wanna see it again sometime.
Godzilla’s face is kind of cute?
I’m not as high on the movie as other folks here, but would absolutely plop down for a black and white version. I feel like the melodrama might play better for me that way.Went back and watched a second time, can confirm it's my favorite film of 2023 by far. (Sorry Scorsese and Leo)
Being in the audience with Japanese children cheering and clapping, and some parents sobbing, was a wonderful experience, and the film is even darker upon a second reflection than even I remembered. The lead characters' stories are just too real and wonderful, the lead actor portrays regret and fear in a way that is uncanny, makes you want to leap through the screen.
All the big lizard action is literally perfect, chills for days during the Ginza attack.
Japan is getting a black and white version of the film and I cannot WAIT TO SEE IT!!!!
Some people would look at a snarling tiger and say they find it cute.
