    I fall against the popular view....for me definitely a bit overrated. Everyone sings the praises of the character development, but for me it was a bit too much. Some of the character stuff could have cut down and the movie would have been fine. Outside that the Godzilla parts were fantastic. But all this talk of 'movie of the year'?...no imho.

      @@YourMid740 I don't disagree, definitely cared about the characters, but it was a bit too much. Like I said, they could've trimmed it down. Some of it just kinda dragged for for me. There's a difference between a Godzilla movie with good characters as a background base, and a character movie with Godzilla in the background. This to me felt more like the latter. Godzilla shouldn't be a subplot in his own movie.

    This movie is super over hyped. It’s not a bad movie, it’s just “good”. I really loved how the story was about a human seeking redemption and I also love the realistic scientific way they try to kill Godzilla by giving him “the bends” but was it just me that they couldn’t escalate/ climax the Godzilla scenes right? With the exception of when he uses the atomic breath the Godzilla scenes just felt like, he was just, “there” no build up or tension honestly. I also really disliked the score. Not the Godzilla theme, but the soundtrack throughout the whole film, it also felt like it didn’t climax either. This movie is a 6/10 for me

    I’m glad y’all weren’t comparing it to the overall MonsterVerse. Because they have the budget for it and I’d see people making comparisons that MinusOne was better than all of the MonsterVerse is a bit disingenuous. You’re talking about a US budget to a Indie Filmmaker from Japan at that. But it was Excellent it gets a 96%. I will say this however. HOLLYWOOD should have been embarrassed because for $15 or Million it looked outstanding! Although maybe the slight exception could be made for OPPENHEIMER. Also this movie was mostly depressing and in some instances a bit too heavy in some places.

    I guess they can’t compete with the CGI and fights of the Legendary series so they stick with symbolism, nostalgia and weird. Godzilla is all CGI but also looks like a muppet at the same time.

Glad to see that fact not being overlooked here. We should never be blinded by eagerness for anything that doesn't contain woke/sjw bullsh** as automatically Oscar worthy. Nor should we give entertainment a pass if they "sneak" in less woke messaging than they could've done.

    Minus One was good for many reasons.
    First was it made us care about the human characters. In the 2014 Godzilla, I couldn't care less about any of the humans I just wanted to see kaiju fight. Same with King of the Monsters, I didn't really care about the "family drama" I just wanted to see Ghidorah and Godzilla go at it. The anguish the protagonist feels for NOT killing himself during the war is what gives him PTSD.
    Second, it was done on only a $15M budget. They didn't up the budget to just make Godzilla look better with longer shots. Quality over quantity.
    Third, it was basically a remake of the original. Godzilla is a force of nature, he is not here to defend the Earth or fight off another kaiju, he is like a Living Natural Disaster. The setting of just after WWII from the Japanese perspective was something American audiences haven't seen before.

    This movie is a masterpiece…that’s not an opinion…it’s a fact. And the reason why is simple
    Every single element of this movie radiates time and effort with a large dash of heart
    From the action
    Character work
    Pacing
    Plot
    Godzilla himself
    The score
    The themes and messaging
    All of it is damn near flawless
    Anyone wondering why Godzilla has so little screen time…apart from the obvious (less overall screen time makes each actual appearance way more impactful) this isn’t a Godzilla stomp and romp…it’s a post war character driven drama with Godzilla as a metaphorical narrative driver…he’s there to drive home a characters journey and a metaphor…

    Also Comparing "Godzilla minus one" to "Lord of the Rings" is subjective, as they are vastly different in genre and appeal. Some might argue that "Godzilla minus one" is better due to its focus on specific elements like action or special effects, while others may prefer "Lord of the Rings" for its complex storytelling, character development, and world-building. Ultimately, personal taste plays a significant role in determining which one is considered "better."

    I gotta hard disagree, other than Godzilla 1954,1984,and shin most are Vs. Movies and move away from the original vision of franchise which isnt a bad thing those vs movies arw what got me into Godzilla, but notice how a majority of films are vs nuanced like the solo films? This movie is being held in such high regards because a human story hasnt been this well done since the original 69 years ago thats how long it took to get another godzilla movie with perfect godzilla and human story balance as well as get the anti war message across but this film also shows the value of life amd how life it worth living even in the harshest times thats why this film is being praise so highly, i have nothing but positivity for this film after seeing it never has a godzilla film of all things made me emotional and this one did it, im sorry you didnt like it all that much

    I'm not just a Godzilla fan I'm a big Kaiju fan. I liked this movie. I like it a whole lot, but I don't love it. Yes, it is a bit overrated.
    I like "Shin Godzilla" more because it was different. Godzilla was an allegory for the Fukushima disaster and he mutated like a Pokemon monster into a force of pure destruction.
    However, the best Kaiju films aren't even Godzilla movies. The best Tokasatsu movies ever made are the Heisei era Gamera Trilogy from the 90s.
    It isn't even close. I even prefer the Daimajin Trilogy from 1966 over most of the Godzilla films. Samurai movies where a giant stone god shows up in the last 20 minutes to wreck 💩 real good.

    Dude, this is crazy. You have to tell your hosts TO SHUT UP AND STOP INTERJECTING so much. At around 2:50 minutes when you could barely get a sentence out, I nearly stopped watching the video. I get it, this is just informal friends talking, but conversation has a flow, and when someone is waiting to hear a person express an idea, and that idea KEEPS getting delayed over and over, it's incredibly annoying. Tell your cohosts a few interjections are fine, EVERY NOW AND THEN. But CONSTANTLY blurting shit out when other people are talking is a dumb way to conduct a podcast, particularly when they aren't saying things that are important. Edit: ok 6 minutes in and I'm out of here, I can't take it anymore. The conversation is too disjointed and all over the place and you all have ADHD or scroll tik tok so much that you can't stay focused on a topic for more than 15 seconds. You guys aren't trying to put on a good listenable podcast, you're just winging it, without much care for quality, structure, flow, or professionalism. Good luck with that.

    I think many American audiences might not totally “get” the stylized nature of this film. It is essentially an art film and a bit of historical fiction and cultural reckoning. (Spoiler alert:) The idea that the mechanic didn’t want him to kamikaze is so important for example and represents how the Japanese people have evolved when it comes to the value of life.
    The acting style is not the Stanislavsky method we are so used to seeing. It is more of an old melodramatic style and it is very effective in my opinion.
