シン・ゴジラ / Shin Godzilla 🦖 (Japanese Film Club)

BTW, speaking of terrific Godzilla movie trailers, Godzilla Minus One seems to have pulled out all of the stops as it goes full-speed-ahead in its attempt at being the best Godzilla ever…

Bwahahah rest in pieces

My thoughts

I watched this movie a few months ago so this is based on what I remember. I really liked the monster/creature designs in this movie, especially the first baby godzilla. The first third/half of the movie was my favorite, with the critique of the inefficiency of bureaucracy in the response to a crisis. I wonder if this is drawing from the response to real life disasters like earthquakes/typhoons? Lots of very funny moments in this part.

I found that the end of the movie was more uninteresting to me with the ‘yippee and now we’ve united together with the power of friendship and defeated the monster’ stuff. Also, trying to make ‘injecting the monster with coolant from cranes’ exciting did not work for me.

I thought the ‘American’ character was kind of goofy upon first watch, then felt bad for the actress after learning that apparently she wasn’t prepared for the amount of English that was in her role. Why’d they have to do her like that.

I don’t watch trailers, but I could be easily persuaded into watching another Godzilla.

This one actually looks like a good watch and would fix the issue I had with this one.

This movie felt like it had no characters, we were just following a government with a couple of people at the helm who were never in any real danger. I kind of want to watch people trying to live, not random monster shows up and walks around, shoots some lasers, and I guess some random people die.
