My father has watched every Godzilla movie since the 50s. Huge fan. His Christmas gift was Minus One tickets. After the atomic breath scene, he looked at me and said "holy shit!". Old man looked like he was living like a kid again.
This was the first Godzilla movie where when he starts charging up the breath it made me go "Oh god no" instead of "hell yeah" because I was so attached to the characters and it was heartbreaking seeing Ginza destroyed right after they rebuilt it
I'm right there with your dad! I've been watching Godzilla since I was a kid, and I've seen them all multiple times! My kids now like to clown me when I watch the earlier movies with the obvious people in costumes, but it's such a nod to my childhood! Long live GODZILLA! ❤️❤️❤️
Well duhh, it's because the story is real. It's basically the end of world War 2, the only different is that the bombs are godzilla. Most war movies based on real events will hit like a truck
@@EOMReactsI wanted that too so bad because it would have been a guaranteed winner but Japan submitted another movie instead. I think the movie was called Past Lives, which was also nominated for Best Picture.
Yeah i so agree best film because Parasite from South Korea won best film this film was incredible and hands down better than ANYTHING I saw in 2023. Primarily because of the human story.😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Step 1. Lower Godzilla deep in water _quickly_ so that the pressure crushes him before he has a chance to adapt to it. Step 2. Raise him out of the water _quickly_ so that the LACK of pressure tears him apart. There are deep water fishes that explode out when pulled out, because their body is adapted to only be at that high pressure; being out of water is like the vacuum of space to them. Godzilla is adaptable; he can go deep or shallow; but like when you release fish into a pond, he needs time to adjust to the pressure of his surroundings. When he comes out all fucked up with grey patches, that's his body that _just_ got over suddenly being deep-pressure now being ripped apart by the sudden LACK of pressure. But this only weakens him. What ultimately kills him is his own personality; he's too petty. He could've just fucked off and been able to recoup at a medium depth somewhere; but instead he powers up his already crushed-then-torn-apart body with the atomic breathe, about ready to blow his own damn self up if he pushes it too far; then the plane knocks him out and interrupts his blast, and all that atomic energy not going somewhere just sits in the body that already could barely handle it, and he overcooks himself.
Also, if you sink too deep you can't go up because of the pressure. But the depth used in the movie was nowhere near enough for that... they should of went with 5km or more, at least Titanic depths.
“But if you’d have sat me down and told me that I was gonna cry at any point over a Godzilla movie, I’d have looked at you like you had three heads.” Made me laugh out loud, especially since that’s basically saying he look at you like you were Ghidorah.
First time I saw Godzilla -1.0 I was left wiping tears away. Once I got out of the theater and into the lobby there was a group of moms that had brought their kids to see Godzilla; the moms were all crying. Seeing these moms, who I presume were not Godzilla fans like my friend and I, getting THAT emotional from a Godzilla movie convinced me that Goji -1.0 was going to be something special for the Godzilla series and for film as a whole.
This was my birthday/Christmas present when it came out, told my dad to take me and I’m glad he did. He introduced me to Godzilla when I was a kid, now being 35 I got to see a new Godzilla movie with my dad and he loved every single moment of it, he had the biggest smile on his face like I know I did. Godzilla minus one is now a new memory for me with my dad. Seeing it in IMAX was powerful, hearing that roar, that atomic blast, it makes your heart beat so fast.
Saying you care more about the little family and his work friends than you did about the Monsterverse humans...well, it would be the same with other Godzilla movies, trust me. This is the first Godzilla movie to say "Hey, the bulk of our runtime is spent with these people...should we maybe make them interesting?"
It deserved to win for more than that. It legitimately could have been Best Picture. But of course, the damned academy judges were never going to give such a lofty prize to a foreign movie about a giant mutated reptile.
@@TeenTyrantyou are woefully misinformed, sir. Japan did not submit Godzilla Minus One to the academy for best foreign film consideration. They didn't campaign for it at all. Instead, they went with the drama, Perfect Strangers. Godzilla was a global sensation that made them boatloads of money. They got what they wanted and then some. This move also helped market and bring attention to the lesser known movie, Perfect Strangers.
@@SurvivorBri Correct, however it didn't do shit for Perfect Strangers, and only shorted Minus One what the film actually deserved - Best Foreign Film Oscar. The FX Oscar was Hollywood's way of saying, we wudda if we cudda.
you haven't even heard the craziest thing about this movie, they made this for 12 million dollar. US godzilla is around a 100 milli as much as i remember. this movie is high art, thanks to the limitations of a small budget, and they pulled no punches with it. a master piece. also love how they got inspired by the US variant with the loadup of the breath, and then double down on making it even more epic.
The only godzilla to not only make me care about the humans, but also to make me hyped when the godzilla march plays for them as they go into the fray. Freaking phenomenal movie. But now you've dipped the toe into japanese godzilla, now it's time for Shin Godzilla and i wish you good luck.
As one of the biggest Godzilla fans since I was a small child, I can say this was the greatest film in the franchise since 1954. The heart of this film is the human experience. Just like the original film, the monster itself is an allegory for the terrors of the new atomic age, and the inevitability of nature’s wrath. I met Haruo Nakajima, the man who was in the Godzilla suit for the first 12 films, and I’m convinced that even though this the first Toho movie that did not use a suit actor, Nakajima would have been amazed and proud.
I'm a citizen of Hiroshima Prefecture. In this movie, there are 30,000 victims of Godzilla's Atomic Breath, but I will explain the actual atomic bombing. The temperature at 8:15 a.m. on August 15, 1945 was less than 30 degrees Celsius, but it instantly rose to 3000 degrees due to the atomic bombing of the B29 bomber. The damage situation at that time has been revealed by a follow-up survey that can be said to be the continuing obsession of Hiroshima City. First of all, people within a radius of 1 km from the hypocenter instantly boiled blood in their bodies due to high temperatures, and blood vessels ruptured and died instantly. And people within 1 kilometer outside it were caught in a building that collapsed by the blast and became immobile and burned to death due to the fire. In addition, in the outer 1 kilometer range, people suffered for three days and three nights because they were exposed to the high-concentration radioactive rain that fell immediately after the atomic bomb. At this moment, about 90,000 citizens lost their lives. In addition, American prisoners of war who were imprisoned in Hiroshima City also followed the same fate.
Saw this in the theater and I’ve never been so moved by a Godzilla movie. You’re so invested on the story that you don’t want anything to happen to the characters but you also want to see how badass Godzilla is. Also if you stayed to the end credits he lets out one more roar and in the theater is was chill inducing.
That Godzilla movie made everyone cry. It was such a well done movie... not just a Godzilla movie.... well done movie... that happened to have Godzilla in it.
Man your reaction is so genuine! I saw the movie 3 times, IMAX, regular and the Minus Color version. Movie is a masterpiece and deserves all the praise it has gotten. There is so much thoughtful storytelling, characters that you end up really caring for. The allegory of Godzilla and the atomic bomb and how that affected the Japanese people. How true events of the firebombing of Tokyo. Shikishima’s character arc is amazing. Thanks for shearing your reaction, I have a feeling there are going to be many more where people are genuinely moved by how good this film really is.
The reason why sinking (and also unsinking) Godzilla is their plan is because of how pressure works underwater. Godzilla, given that he mostly dwells on the surface, means that he's not as compatible with extreme depths where there's lots of pressure. But if that fails, the opposite can also have an effect, going from deep pressure to lower pressure quickly causes harmful reactions in the body. Decompression sickness, aka The Bends, is an example of this; gases in your blood don't have enough time leaving your body from the extreme pressure change, forming bubbles in your blood. That's why divers who just swam through lower depths has to stay underwater at a certain ocean level first before rising back up to the surface
I have been a Godzilla Fan for 50 years and this is Absolutely MY favorite. I also own all Godzilla movies and watch them over and over again. Very sad, because no one in my family even thinks about Godzilla. It was great watching your reaction. I saw this masterpiece on the big screen 11 times. Such a Good movie! Thank you for doing this.
@@dolphinsrr they're definitely not, but they're not supposed to be. It's a very different kind of movie. It's more like the original, where the story is allegorical, focusing on failures of governments more than individuals
Bro u in for a treat you've watched the American godzilla movies u bout to watch the Japanese Godzilla toho where big g started and this godzilla has the same roars as the 1954 goji yea g-minus 1 is scarier then shin godzilla
@dom9300 now wait are we talking about the same shin that was still changing before they froze him because already before they had him froze he had beams coming from everything and his could be the hottest atomic breath out of any of the godzillas
No I’d be more scared of the Godzilla able to infinitely evolve and shoot lasers through every part of his body with atomic breath so strong it starts out as smoke
IDK if you saw it, but when he hugs her at the end you see something on her neck. I'm glad I got to see your reaction, if it ever comes back to theaters, go see it it's a MUST! It's so amazing on the big screen and the surround sound 😱 what I loved about this is the human story sucks you in you almost forget it's a Godzilla movie and then boom he pops up again. That scene where he does the blast on land the first time, I was excited for the destruction he made, but then the horror of how devastating the blast was changed the feels so quick.
It has been confirmed that the mark on her neck was G-Cells, known in lore for (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER) ...creating Biolante and subsequently Space Godzilla. If there is a sequel I have a feeling it's going to be quite different from the old films, but if it takes any inspiration there won't be a dry eye in the theater.
This and Shin Godzilla are my two favorites. Both have insane godzilla's and both got different emotional points about Japan's trauma from the war and the nuclear bombings. Also, the neighbor is an incredible actress. Every movie I've ever seen her in are masterpieces and she keeps moving me to tears including "shoplifters" and "monster".
I think for Shin Godzilla it was more about the trauma of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that followed, that's why when Godzilla makes landfall the chaos it brings resembles that of a tsunami.
@jib1823 for the first two acts yes, but once the nuclear bomb dropping became an option for the final act of the movie, the pacing stopped and even background music stopped for a while. Every characters face had pain when they were told, the one politician cried out "this is going too far!"
They actually didn't hide Shikishima ejecting from the plane. In a very swift, blink-and-you'll miss it moment, just before the Shinden crashes into Godzilla's mouth, you can see him ejecting from the plane.
I saw this in theaters and it brought a tear or two to my eyes at the end like you. A movie that you actually feel for the characters and not just Godzilla. I'd say this is a perfect movie
26:20 Crying over a Kaiju film. You're damn right I did and I'm not ashamed after incomparable scene's like this Atomic Breath and the trauma for Shikishima as he yell's following the aftremath, feeling he had lost Norika. Sitting in the movie theater, this damn film won 2023 for me with Oppenheimer a close second.
I'm such a Godzilla-Holic, and this movie is EPIC! I took my kids to see this in the theater, and they loved it! My son, however, rolls his eyes at me because his new nickname that I call him is Tachibana! 😂😂😂😂😂
Ok, was I the only one that thought that when Tachibana was telling him about the bomb safety release he was lying and secretly making him pull the ejector because had forgiven him and wanted him to live?
I found myself shouting out loud several times but I think I cried more. Beautiful movie. Now your reaction is just the cherry on top. I loved watching your dog in the background. Mine died a couple of weeks ago and seeing your pup getting comfortable made my heart ache.
I've seen this movie once with my mom on opening day, and this is now her favorite movie ever and she is an OG Godzilla fan, it was a magical experience to see this movie When I did, I glad it won that Oscar, it deserves it.
This channel is actually very underrated, and IMO that's a very rare thing, more so than a lot of people realize. Saw a related video of another reaction to this movie that had 5x the views in a similar amount of time, and that got me thinking this once again. The upside (very minor) is that this almost secret place on the internet is staying a bit more cozy than usual, for longer (I mean more so about the community). Here's to 1 mil subscribers, long long long overdue....
Idk why but after I leave a comment that's just gushing or whatever I always have at least a little internal struggle about deleting it lol. Ima leave it up though I think, whether I'm right or wrong about it being...tacky? Idk. I just genuinely feel this channel is overdue for a blowup.
@@jvmarie13 You may be right, absolutely, given this particular community, especially with how long it's stayed relatively small. It'd be an exception to an almost-rule though. Things blow up and it gets a little colder.
I just watched this for the first time today, and holy sh!t. It LIVED UP TO THE HYPE! Best Godzilla movie ever made. And I love the way Godzilla looks. He kinda has the old "guy in the rubber suit" sort of look but a thousand times better. He looked real. And its got the best human story in any of the movies.
Yo, some of your comments and one liners are absolutely kill me hilarious! Pure respect my friend. I love watching reaction videos and you make my evening with each upload, the dogs are a +. Appreciate all you do.
Something about Japanese films just really has so much emotion and passion behind every word the actors speak. This is easily one of the most serious and well-made monster movies ever.
This is the best Godzilla or best monster movie ever! And you are definitely my most favourite reactor. Thank u for giving Noriko the respect. Me and my daughter got devastated when Noriko pushed him out of the way and see her get hit with the shockwave. Love this movie!
So glad you watched this J!! 👏🏻 I saw this at the theater when it came out and it was so glorious. I had the same reaction as you about crying at the human part of the movie. They did this movie so perfectly. I hope you let the ending theme song play to it's conclusion. It is such an epic theme!! Great reaction J!!
I'm so happy this movie finally dropped on Netflix so I could circle back and watch this video as I typically won't watch reactions unless I've seen the film, first. What an amazing movie. Wish I had seen it in the theaters. This and 'Shin Godzilla' are the only Godzilla films where I actually cared about the human story.
It's crazy how you can see his eject right before he flies the plane into his mouth. Like they didn't even hide it, but the direction is so good that you can't tear your eyes away from the impact point.
What happened at the end was, to kill Godzilla, they strapped jets to the wires in the water. Once Godzilla was surrounded, they turned on the jets, forcing Godzilla down to the ocean floor. The pressure from the speed being forced down then being elevated up was supposed to kill him, but is severely damaged Godzilla's skin. When, Godzilla was about to fire his atomic breath, but the plane slammed into Godzilla's mouth, exploding his head. Since the atomic breath had nowhere to go, it just started coming out thru his skin, destroying him.
@EOM @JL Not is it only the best one but it was made for 10 mil, and looks better then what blockbuster's have been put out over the last decade. Agree this is the ONLY Godzilla film that had humans I actually wanted to find out about
I once rented a video called 'World War III'. The cover art on the box was a modern aircraft carrier, a couple of modern jets & a nuclear explosion. So you can imagine my surprise when I popped in the tape....and what I saw was an old black & white Japanese movie full of Godzilla & a bunch of toy plastic army tanks being pulled thru the streets by fishing lines.
The scene where he said he died a long time ago and the baby and woman is just a dream of a dead man was extremely powerful. I can't stop gushing over this movie
She is most likely infected by what godzilla left behind. In shin godzilla, there was these creatures that were supposed to usher in a new age by human extinction. I'm guessing this is what's gonna happen in the 2nd film. Whatever this virus is, its either gonna turn her into a pawn, or its going to kill her eventually. That's why she is alive, because what she is infected with needs her to be alive. Sadly there will be no happy ending for her.
Watched this movie in theaters just to kill time, was just as shocked to be crying at the end. Haven’t watched the monster verse movies, can’t imagine watching them now, after this
So very glad you got to see this, J. Absolutely fantastic reaction! I have been singing the praises of this film since the beginning to anyone who would listen, and I'm glad you're a convert. This is the Godzilla movie you can show to people who aren't Godzilla fans, because if you took out the monster scenes you would still have a great film with characters that you care about. And your comparison of Minus One to the Monsterverse films was dead-on: Monsterverse films are just popcorn wrestling movies, but Minus One is actual cinema. And it's great that Minus One was made with a budget less than 10% of a Monsterverse flick, and with a special effects team of only 35 people - and it won the Oscar for special effects! Now you need to see the original 1954 Godzilla film (the Japanese version) to see how it all started, and just how Godzilla started out as a true monster. Then see Minus One Minus Color; the black-and-white tone gives a straight-up horror vibe to the whole experience.
Godzilla went full Samuel L. Jackson and said “I’M A MUSHROOM CLOUD LAYING MUTHA-FUCKA, MUTHA-FUCKA! This movie is just beautiful, end of discussion. You should watch them all in order, you’ll appreciate this even more. Mothra and Rodan had their own movies too. Give them a watch. 🤘🏼
I like what you said. “You’re dead, dead.”😂 But the movie was really amazing! It had an Oscar Reward for the best visual effects! So congratulations to the makers of the film!
Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction looks on approvingly. Fun fact: This movie cost about half as much to make as a single episode of She-Hulk. It should be considered a masterclass on doing more with less.
The story , the music , the look of Godzilla. Everything was on point. The Godzilla movie , us , Godzilla fans deserved all this time. Felt like redemption for us fans ✊🏽
It has been confirmed that the mark on her neck was G-Cells, known in lore for (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER) ...creating Biolante and subsequently Space Godzilla.

Listen… if you would had told me then that a Kajiu movie would make people cry and be emotional, I would had never believed it. I agree with J in the sense that in most Godzilla films, we don’t care about the humans. Minus One became one of the rare examples of us caring about these people and wanting them to live! I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve cried and shred tears a few times watching this. And our boy Godzilla was NOT having it in this movie! This might be the most angry and pissed off I’ve ever seen him. He really wanted to kill them all so badly. Godzilla was a menace but I wouldn’t have it any other way in all honesty. Edit: I was also one of the lucky ones to see the black and white version of the movie. It felt a lot more old school. I also enjoyed that one a lot too.
Hey! I for one was god-damned ready to sit and listen to him rave about this movie another 25. Can we get a special of this man just going off about movies he fucks with, already, ffs."
It was so worth seeing this movie in theaters! It was such a surreal experience ❤ definitely one of if not the best Godzilla movie I have ever seen in my life! This movie a so deserved the Oscar!! Godzilla is the scariest he’s ever been and the characters are so incredible! The action is intense and amazing! I love your reaction so much! Thank you for watching this masterpiece!!✨♥️😊
My father has watched every Godzilla movie since the 50s. Huge fan. His Christmas gift was Minus One tickets. After the atomic breath scene, he looked at me and said "holy shit!". Old man looked like he was living like a kid again.

@@insertopinion5967 YUP! this is the 2nd movie that made me want Godzilla to die. when Noriko was blown away I was like "you mother fucker..."
I'm right there with your dad! I've been watching Godzilla since I was a kid, and I've seen them all multiple times! My kids now like to clown me when I watch the earlier movies with the obvious people in costumes, but it's such a nod to my childhood! Long live GODZILLA! ❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant story 😊
This is one of the few Godzilla movies where the human story is just as important as Godzilla--they nail it.
It's worth pointing out that the other ones where the human story is 'as important' aren't necessarily 'good'. Godzilla's Revenge comes to mind
@@TheKyrix82 I meant more that the human story had relevance or something worthwhile to contribute to the monster part of the story.
this was the first time where I actually wanted Godzilla to die lol
Well duhh, it's because the story is real. It's basically the end of world War 2, the only different is that the bombs are godzilla.
Most war movies based on real events will hit like a truck
I appreciated the psychological angle of a failed suicide pilot. That's an angle I've never seen before.
To everyone involved in making this film: THANK YOU. You get it, and you got it, this is something to be very proud of.
This movie should've gotten nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.
I'm not joking.
At the least it should have been forest foreign film.
But I’m with you. It’s so much better and more than a monster movie.
@@EOMReactsI wanted that too so bad because it would have been a guaranteed winner but Japan submitted another movie instead. I think the movie was called Past Lives, which was also nominated for Best Picture.
@@EOMReactsIt was Perfect Days, not Past Lives 😅
This was the best Godzilla movie BY FAR. It was heartbreaking and hopeful for the characters. The designs, cinematography and music were amazing!
Yeah i so agree best film because Parasite from South Korea won best film this film was incredible and hands down better than ANYTHING I saw in 2023. Primarily because of the human story.😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

EOM "I'm not going to disrespect you by giving you a thanks for playing." Hit different.
Btw this director is on record as wanting to make a Star Wars movie the minute he's allowed to. Give this man all of Lucasfilm. Please and thank you.
Godzilla was on that Jason Voorhees energy in this movie. SCRAPING THE PLATE!
The director confirmed the black mark on the woman’s neck at the end was to show she was infected with Godzilla cells and survived because of it
But what does that mean for her? 😢
Hahaha.... 'i give a damn more about these two and the baby than any of those Monsterverse Godzilla' lol that got me
This was my birthday/Christmas present when it came out, told my dad to take me and I’m glad he did.

Decompression sickness, aka The Bends, is an example of this; gases in your blood don't have enough time leaving your body from the extreme pressure change, forming bubbles in your blood. That's why divers who just swam through lower depths has to stay underwater at a certain ocean level first before rising back up to the surface
I have been a Godzilla Fan for 50 years and this is Absolutely MY favorite. I also own all Godzilla movies and watch them over and over again. Very sad, because no one in my family even thinks about Godzilla. It was great watching your reaction. I saw this masterpiece on the big screen 11 times. Such a Good movie! Thank you for doing this.
Respect. My favorite is Shin, but this one, along with the orignal Gojira are all brilliant. GMK and Biollante are also honorable mentions
@@clash79i heard the characters in shin wasn't as good as minys one.
@@dolphinsrr they're definitely not, but they're not supposed to be. It's a very different kind of movie. It's more like the original, where the story is allegorical, focusing on failures of governments more than individuals
GODZILLA!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite Godzilla film as well. Loved the acting, the story, all of it.
You have the best reaction on this. Your comments are well timed, hilarious and satisfying.
Thank you 😊. You've earned a sub.
Bro u in for a treat you've watched the American godzilla movies u bout to watch the Japanese Godzilla toho where big g started and this godzilla has the same roars as the 1954 goji yea g-minus 1 is scarier then shin godzilla
But shinny is the strongest
@@keithcole8536shin is far from the strongest he’s one of the weakest.
@dom9300 now wait are we talking about the same shin that was still changing before they froze him because already before they had him froze he had beams coming from everything and his could be the hottest atomic breath out of any of the godzillas
No I’d be more scared of the Godzilla able to infinitely evolve and shoot lasers through every part of his body with atomic breath so strong it starts out as smoke
@@keithcole8536 shin is the second weakest
IDK if you saw it, but when he hugs her at the end you see something on her neck.
I'm glad I got to see your reaction, if it ever comes back to theaters, go see it it's a MUST! It's so amazing on the big screen and the surround sound 😱 what I loved about this is the human story sucks you in you almost forget it's a Godzilla movie and then boom he pops up again. That scene where he does the blast on land the first time, I was excited for the destruction he made, but then the horror of how devastating the blast was changed the feels so quick.
47:34 i saw it
It has been confirmed that the mark on her neck was G-Cells, known in lore for (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER)
...creating Biolante and subsequently Space Godzilla. If there is a sequel I have a feeling it's going to be quite different from the old films, but if it takes any inspiration there won't be a dry eye in the theater.
You can feel godzilla's power in this film
Just watched this yesterday and came back for your reaction. This is probably my new favorite Godzilla film of all time. Wow, what a masterpiece.
This and Shin Godzilla are my two favorites. Both have insane godzilla's and both got different emotional points about Japan's trauma from the war and the nuclear bombings.
Also, the neighbor is an incredible actress. Every movie I've ever seen her in are masterpieces and she keeps moving me to tears including "shoplifters" and "monster".
I think for Shin Godzilla it was more about the trauma of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that followed, that's why when Godzilla makes landfall the chaos it brings resembles that of a tsunami.
@jib1823 for the first two acts yes, but once the nuclear bomb dropping became an option for the final act of the movie, the pacing stopped and even background music stopped for a while. Every characters face had pain when they were told, the one politician cried out "this is going too far!"
They actually didn't hide Shikishima ejecting from the plane. In a very swift, blink-and-you'll miss it moment, just before the Shinden crashes into Godzilla's mouth, you can see him ejecting from the plane.
I saw this in theaters and it brought a tear or two to my eyes at the end like you. A movie that you actually feel for the characters and not just Godzilla. I'd say this is a perfect movie
26:20 Crying over a Kaiju film. You're damn right I did and I'm not ashamed after incomparable scene's like this Atomic Breath and the trauma for Shikishima as he yell's following the aftremath, feeling he had lost Norika.
Sitting in the movie theater, this damn film won 2023 for me with Oppenheimer a close second.
Godzilla is MEAN in this one. Best movie of 2023
I'm such a Godzilla-Holic, and this movie is EPIC! I took my kids to see this in the theater, and they loved it! My son, however, rolls his eyes at me because his new nickname that I call him is Tachibana! 😂😂😂😂😂
汚い言葉を東宝のロゴでモザイクかけてるのおもろい😂😂
One of my favorite movies from last year
Ok, was I the only one that thought that when Tachibana was telling him about the bomb safety release he was lying and secretly making him pull the ejector because had forgiven him and wanted him to live?
I found myself shouting out loud several times but I think I cried more. Beautiful movie. Now your reaction is just the cherry on top. I loved watching your dog in the background. Mine died a couple of weeks ago and seeing your pup getting comfortable made my heart ache.
I've seen this movie once with my mom on opening day, and this is now her favorite movie ever and she is an OG Godzilla fan, it was a magical experience to see this movie When I did, I glad it won that Oscar, it deserves it.
This channel is actually very underrated, and IMO that's a very rare thing, more so than a lot of people realize. Saw a related video of another reaction to this movie that had 5x the views in a similar amount of time, and that got me thinking this once again. The upside (very minor) is that this almost secret place on the internet is staying a bit more cozy than usual, for longer (I mean more so about the community). Here's to 1 mil subscribers, long long long overdue....
Idk why but after I leave a comment that's just gushing or whatever I always have at least a little internal struggle about deleting it lol. Ima leave it up though I think, whether I'm right or wrong about it being...tacky? Idk. I just genuinely feel this channel is overdue for a blowup.
buddy… no matter how many subs are here, we’ve got a cozy core… that ain’t goin’ anywhere if we can help it. lol
@@jvmarie13 You may be right, absolutely, given this particular community, especially with how long it's stayed relatively small. It'd be an exception to an almost-rule though. Things blow up and it gets a little colder.
I just watched this for the first time today, and holy sh!t. It LIVED UP TO THE HYPE! Best Godzilla movie ever made. And I love the way Godzilla looks. He kinda has the old "guy in the rubber suit" sort of look but a thousand times better. He looked real. And its got the best human story in any of the movies.
Best movie and best reactor equals pure awesomeness! 👏🏽🔥👏🏽🔥👏🏽🔥
"Shut the f*** up!" - Man that's so cute and funny! Awesome reaction! Love you noticed the awesome music too!
Your reaction to this was so good, I'm watching this again! Glad you loved it.
"This aint no Disney movie"
Spitting Truth, my man!
Yo, some of your comments and one liners are absolutely kill me hilarious! Pure respect my friend. I love watching reaction videos and you make my evening with each upload, the dogs are a +. Appreciate all you do.
18:51 Nah, he should say "King Kong aint got shit on me!"
"Shut the f..k up."
Godzilla : (roar).
I heard rumor about they going to continue with Godzilla Plus One.
Something about Japanese films just really has so much emotion and passion behind every word the actors speak. This is easily one of the most serious and well-made monster movies ever.
This is the best Godzilla or best monster movie ever! And you are definitely my most favourite reactor. Thank u for giving Noriko the respect. Me and my daughter got devastated when Noriko pushed him out of the way and see her get hit with the shockwave. Love this movie!
So glad I got to experience this live. Love all the work and love that goes into these. Thank you both Blank and JL.
So glad you watched this J!! 👏🏻 I saw this at the theater when it came out and it was so glorious. I had the same reaction as you about crying at the human part of the movie. They did this movie so perfectly. I hope you let the ending theme song play to it's conclusion. It is such an epic theme!! Great reaction J!!
I'm so happy this movie finally dropped on Netflix so I could circle back and watch this video as I typically won't watch reactions unless I've seen the film, first. What an amazing movie. Wish I had seen it in the theaters. This and 'Shin Godzilla' are the only Godzilla films where I actually cared about the human story.
It's crazy how you can see his eject right before he flies the plane into his mouth. Like they didn't even hide it, but the direction is so good that you can't tear your eyes away from the impact point.
Akira Ifukubi Composed the 'Godzilla Theme' for the original 'Gojira' movie in 1954!
It was originally intended to be the military’s theme but over the years it became synonymous with Godzilla’s entrance.
@@Shlankyman545 That's right 👍
As soon as you said: "G-1" your dog rose up and was about to use his atomic breath!
This is the first time we see Godzilla act so petty, since the 1960s to the 1970s godzilla's.
Absolute banger movie. The balance is perfect.
I am very happy you got to see this. Tear swells and frission bumps still come from me. Love and bless this movie. 💙
Great reaction ❤😊This film offers a classic rendition of the OG Godzilla in all its glory😊
What happened at the end was, to kill Godzilla, they strapped jets to the wires in the water. Once Godzilla was surrounded, they turned on the jets, forcing Godzilla down to the ocean floor. The pressure from the speed being forced down then being elevated up was supposed to kill him, but is severely damaged Godzilla's skin. When, Godzilla was about to fire his atomic breath, but the plane slammed into Godzilla's mouth, exploding his head. Since the atomic breath had nowhere to go, it just started coming out thru his skin, destroying him.
You need to watch Shin Godzilla now and compare the two most recent Toho films.
Oh, that’s 100% happening. LoL
@EOM @JL Not is it only the best one but it was made for 10 mil, and looks better then what blockbuster's have been put out over the last decade. Agree this is the ONLY Godzilla film that had humans I actually wanted to find out about
I once rented a video called 'World War III'. The cover art on the box was a modern aircraft carrier, a couple of modern jets & a nuclear explosion. So you can imagine my surprise when I popped in the tape....and what I saw was an old black & white Japanese movie full of Godzilla & a bunch of toy plastic army tanks being pulled thru the streets by fishing lines.
Dude, seeing this in the theatre was an awesome experience. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Ohhhh ya I'm ready for this one, already ordered pizza got beer n smoke let's do this.
The scene where he said he died a long time ago and the baby and woman is just a dream of a dead man was extremely powerful. I can't stop gushing over this movie
I rolled my eyes at how anime it was, lol.
@Lost_n_Found_1, it was extremely anime. You're right. What got me was what he actually said to her. The words were stronger than the anime acting.
@@jacotromp59581 Yeah, I feel that. The little girl Akiko is what got me. To the man, I was just like, come on dude, suck it up, lol.
47:10
She's got some of the sickest plot armor ever. You don't even care, you're just happy she's okay.
She is most likely infected by what godzilla left behind. In shin godzilla, there was these creatures that were supposed to usher in a new age by human extinction. I'm guessing this is what's gonna happen in the 2nd film. Whatever this virus is, its either gonna turn her into a pawn, or its going to kill her eventually. That's why she is alive, because what she is infected with needs her to be alive. Sadly there will be no happy ending for her.
"I hope godzilla attack ireland or something " Im dying lol You funny as fuk
Watched this movie in theaters just to kill time, was just as shocked to be crying at the end. Haven’t watched the monster verse movies, can’t imagine watching them now, after this
Seeing Akiko cry broke my heart..
So very glad you got to see this, J. Absolutely fantastic reaction! I have been singing the praises of this film since the beginning to anyone who would listen, and I'm glad you're a convert. This is the Godzilla movie you can show to people who aren't Godzilla fans, because if you took out the monster scenes you would still have a great film with characters that you care about. And your comparison of Minus One to the Monsterverse films was dead-on: Monsterverse films are just popcorn wrestling movies, but Minus One is actual cinema. And it's great that Minus One was made with a budget less than 10% of a Monsterverse flick, and with a special effects team of only 35 people - and it won the Oscar for special effects!
Now you need to see the original 1954 Godzilla film (the Japanese version) to see how it all started, and just how Godzilla started out as a true monster. Then see Minus One Minus Color; the black-and-white tone gives a straight-up horror vibe to the whole experience.
You just watched your first true Godzilla film. Please watch the 1954 original japanese Godzilla film and I think you'd love Shin Godzilla as well.
Rom hiding under the covers as soon as Godzilla appears had me cracking up. Same, bro. Same
Godzilla went full Samuel L. Jackson and said “I’M A MUSHROOM CLOUD LAYING MUTHA-FUCKA, MUTHA-FUCKA! This movie is just beautiful, end of discussion. You should watch them all in order, you’ll appreciate this even more. Mothra and Rodan had their own movies too. Give them a watch. 🤘🏼
😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the best Godzilla film ever made. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿
I like what you said. “You’re dead, dead.”😂
But the movie was really amazing! It had an Oscar Reward for the best visual effects! So congratulations to the makers of the film!
Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction looks on approvingly.
Fun fact: This movie cost about half as much to make as a single episode of She-Hulk. It should be considered a masterclass on doing more with less.
Oh, brother, he didnt just run from a fight. He ran from a suicide mission.
The movie that will make you say "I cared about the people, in a *Godzilla* movie!"
People never saw Godzilla vs Megalon
The story , the music , the look of Godzilla. Everything was on point. The Godzilla movie , us , Godzilla fans deserved all this time. Felt like redemption for us fans ✊🏽
I dont know if you saw the black mark on Noriko’s neck but Im pretty sure it fas something to do with something nuclear and that’s why she survived
It has been confirmed that the mark on her neck was G-Cells, known in lore for (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER)
...creating Biolante and subsequently Space Godzilla. If there is a sequel I have a feeling it's going to be quite different from the old films, but if it takes any inspiration there won't be a dry eye in the theater.
I'm Irish- a sequel with Godzilla attacking Ireland would be amazing, with our two air force planes and the Garda helicopter trying to kill it hahaha
Nice to see a movie remind people Godzilla is a dinosaur.
You need to watch this in black and white now 😫😫😫
Listen… if you would had told me then that a Kajiu movie would make people cry and be emotional, I would had never believed it. I agree with J in the sense that in most Godzilla films, we don’t care about the humans. Minus One became one of the rare examples of us caring about these people and wanting them to live! I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve cried and shred tears a few times watching this. And our boy Godzilla was NOT having it in this movie! This might be the most angry and pissed off I’ve ever seen him. He really wanted to kill them all so badly. Godzilla was a menace but I wouldn’t have it any other way in all honesty.
Edit: I was also one of the lucky ones to see the black and white version of the movie. It felt a lot more old school. I also enjoyed that one a lot too.
Watching before Toho takes it down
Facts. Lol
His radiation blast in this movie is way more epic than any of the other ones
“Epic” being absolutely horrifying
Hey! I for one was god-damned ready to sit and listen to him rave about this movie another 25. Can we get a special of this man just going off about movies he fucks with, already, ffs."
It was so worth seeing this movie in theaters! It was such a surreal experience ❤ definitely one of if not the best Godzilla movie I have ever seen in my life! This movie a so deserved the Oscar!!
Godzilla is the scariest he’s ever been and the characters are so incredible! The action is intense and amazing! I love your reaction so much! Thank you for watching this masterpiece!!✨♥️😊
