I've seen every single Godzilla film, all 38 of them. Been a Godzilla fan since I was a kid 30 years ago. I saw Godzilla Minus One 6 times in the theater. It is BY FAR the best Godzilla film ever made IMO.
Hell yeah! That’s real love to the art of Godzilla!
Godzilla was his guilt and shame. Showed up right when he avoided his duty. And it kept getting bigger and bigger.
I call it regert that keeps coming back to haunt him.
Genius writing to have Godzilla be manifestation of his past & the decision he made. To get his redemption from what he was beating himself up over for such a long time.
The metaphor is to face your fears and confront problems before they become bigger than you can manage and they destroy you and everyone you love.
@@shannonchurchill4556 that’s such a good metaphor and a good representation of life itself and how things can spiral out of control.
I saw it 8 times in theaters. It's an absolute masterpiece.
8 times?? You are a legend!
Hell of a movie but godamn it! You still rewatching it?😂
These people are good people. Thank you for being moved to tears. From Godzilla fans in Japan. May happiness come to you too.
Thank you! This was such a powerful film, huge props to the Director, Producers, & Writers of this masterpiece. They deserve all the recognition this movie has gotten.
I thought the other comments were hyping up the reaction but this really was one of the best I’ve seen to this film. It was so human and you guys were so invested I loved it!
We had a lot more hyping up then not, thank you for realizing it’s being human
I've seen this movie about 3 times, and I've watched over a dozen other reaction videos, and this is by far the best reaction I've seen so far. Godzilla Minus One has taken the top spot for me. Not just my favourite Godzilla movie, but my favourite movie, full stop. Great reaction , guys. 🥹
It’s such an amazing watch! Can’t wait to watch it again for our second time when we get some free time. Thank you! We are happy you loved the reaction! We love this movie so much!
Best reaction video! Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho used to be my favorite movie, but Godzilla Minus One has claimed the number one spot! Great movie!
It’s such a powerful film, and we are planning on doing a reaction to Psycho at some point (Smitty has seen it but I haven’t so I am excited for that)
I've seen all the movies, and all the reactions to this miracle thus far, and you guys hold the title of my favorite. Your reactions were exactly like my own, and your observations were spot on. The emotion of the movie went through you guys. Keep up the good work. As a older guy now and massive G fan, it's really incredible to see people now watch this movie, and hopefully Shin, '54, Rodan, and Mothra stuff eventually, because once you are in this genre, it'll put a hook in you forever. Toho are masters. Cheers.
Thank you so much! This movie grabbed ahold of us & still hasn’t let us go! We have it in our plans very soon to watch Shin Godzilla, we have been hearing a lot of great things about that film as well.
@@SmittyBirdie Shin is incredible. It's way different than this, but insanely creative and weird. I have '54, G Minus, and Shin as the top 3.
@@armenianeric we can’t wait to watch them all, we plan on watching every single one that we haven’t and then ranking them all
You won’t regret it. I’ve seen them all and there’s at least ten plus that rank as nine or ten on a enjoyment scale.
@@armenianeric hell yeah! This is going to be awesome to witness!
Folks... I'm getting emotional simply watching your reactions as I recall the experience of watching this film in IMAX last year. Glad you enjoyed it.
It was such an emotional roller coaster ride that we didn’t expect, major props to the whole crew of the film. They did an A+ job
I’m here to give this video a thumbs up because you both paid respect to the creators, distributors of this movie by uploading this video AFTER it was internationally released on streaming.
Many CZcamsrs uploaded reaction videos by downloading illegal pirated versions and here in Japan those people are being hated amongst Gojira fans.
Thank you both for doing the right thing. Big thumbs up you and I subscribed to your channel.
It's not though cause the subtitles aren't the Netflix English. They have the downloaded English subs so definitely a rip
English Netflix 'Can this war of your finally be over' vs 'is your war over'
@@MikeS-ur2ql it’s still WAY better.
@@MikeS-ur2ql Who did the subtitle for the ripped ones anyways. Those bastards.
These subtitles are the same from the actual movie in theaters
I do apologize I seem to misspoke. The difference lies between normal subs & SDH hearing.
There is a translation difference on those
Kamikaze pilots actually attended their own funeral ceremonies before flying their missions. Losing face is everything in Japanese culture. "Godzilla" is an Americanization of "Gojira", which is what they're saying, the name comes from combining the Japanese words for gorilla and whale.
That’s an interesting fact we didn’t know about with kamikaze pilots, and yes yes. When you pay close attention I believe during King of the Monsters on the intro it shows Godzilla and in parenthesis it says Gojira
Yeah, they aren't saying Godzilla. They're saying Gojira. In both 1998 and 2014 the first word was Gojira. The 98 version, the news reporter even gets the name wrong, which the lady who steals the footage of the old guy lying in bed after being attacked by Godzilla says he said the name wrong.
In 2014, the two Monarch scientists call him Gojira. Later the guy in charge of the details regarding what the military is going to do with Gojira calls him Godzilla. It's a bit of humor due to the different names
Best reaction I’ve seen so far…
The Shinden was a real plane developed by the Japanese late in the war that did not see action due to the war ending. The director was a bit of a military historian. Check out his previous movie THE ETERNAL ZERO about a kamikaze pilot
Ooo really?? We will have to check that movie out, thank you for the suggestion!
@@SmittyBirdie
そうですね。
神風特攻隊の本筋（真意）は「永遠のゼロ」の方が伝わると思います。
ゴジラー1.０を観て神風特攻隊を日本人としては否定的に見誤らないでいただきたいです。
@@user-ef8zf3xy5n we wouldn’t do that, it being a part of the film & story it would tarnish it if we did.
ゴジラー1.０と同じ山崎貴監督の作品なので機会があれば是非！
お勧めします^ ^
This is an EXCELLENT reaction! You two were great.... the best Godzilla movie ever! Can't wait to see more of your reactions!
Thank you for the love! We will see you in the next video! 🤘🏻👋🏽
It was impressive how quickly they were drawn into the story after the "Ginza attack." And their reactions afterwards are wonderful! And 'normal'😀
Now, how many times will you guys see this masterpiece in the future? Congratulations! 👏👏
This story had us drawn in so fast, oh we plan on watching it so much more after this watching.
Love this vid! Awesome reaction!
Thank you!! 😁
I think this is the first G film where I felt genuine dread instead of anticipation on its arrival. He is truly a terrifying vengeful force of nature in this. It's the consummate Godzilla film.
It’s amazing how it made you feel the dread from the beginning with how the tone was set so early
Great reaction and review. Glad you guys enjoyed the film. Been a Godzilla fan my whole life and this is def to me the best Godzilla movie made! Was so blown away by the story, visual effects, how Godzilla and human characters were incorporated in the film. Keep up the good work! #NewSubscriber
Thank you! And they did such a great job with everything and the budget they had. It’s pure brilliance in filmmaking and the creators from writers to directing across the board deserve so much credit. Thank you for subscribing!
your reactions were so genuine .
It was so raw for us everything we felt, we got so connected to these characters.
Your reactions are very very human.
Thank you! Some things it just naturally happens, the thoughts, instincts, etc.
Yall have had THE best reaction to this film I've seen on CZcams so far. I watched it in the theater and everything you all felt WE felt!
Thank you! 😃 this was such a roller coaster ride, this movie truly is a masterpiece.
Minus One was just peak! Im so happy it won an Oscar for VFX and I wish it would have gotten more nominations but at least it won 1 and dominated the Japanese Oscars. Such a great film!
We watched The Oscars that night & got so fired up that it won for VFX, very deserving that award. That’s awesome that it dominated the Japanese Oscars! We love that!
You should watch every Godzilla film and make a list of your favorite g films. That would be interesting. You broke me down when you did watching this great film! I saw this in the theater in black & white. Missed out when there released it in color! When you can check out the black & white version! It's awesome!
@@dolphinsrr we actually talked about doing that when we were talking after we finished recording and it is in the works. Most likely setting up a separate video where we break down everyone & rank them. And it is also in our plans to watch the black & white when we saw it is available as an option.
Easily best reaction to this masterpiece I instantly subscribed after watching! You guys are awesome!
Thank you so much! We are happy you loved the reaction!
To date this is the Best Godzilla. My personal Favret however is still "Son of Godzilla". Recessed the year I was born I watched it two times a year from age five to 12 and wished I had the ability to go to Monster Island. I'd Love to see that remade today by this same team.
We will have to check that movie out!
The two best Godzilla movies are Godzilla Minus One and the original one from 1954. These are the two Godzilla movies that don’t try to make Godzilla seem good in any way, but rather show him as an animal.
It makes it so much more terrifying him being portrayed as for what he is. We can’t wait to watch the 1954 one.
@@SmittyBirdiethe 54 version will remind of minus one for sure! Watch the Japanese version first before you watch the edited one with Raymond Burr for the American release! Japanese version is so much better. The cut out a lot in the American version.
@@dolphinsrr oh we will always watch the OG first, you’ll get the best version of it with the original every time
While it does seem like she could have tackled both of them to safety, the amount of force required to move a larger person and oneself from a standstill stance would be tremendous . Much easier to just push someone when you have only a split second to make a move. If she tried to move them both, both would have likely been carried away in the explosion.
Anyways great reaction.
That’s true, we thought about that in hindsight after we had time to wind down from all the emotions and intensity.
Plus when the shockwave fully hit Ginza, we're only seeing the true scale of it because time ran much slower for our eyes during the scene. Through the eyes of the citizens of Ginza, however, much like a real-life nuclear bomb scenario, the shockwave was incredibly fast, and there was nothing they could do except watch in pure terror as they were incinerated almost immediately after the explosion.
Noriko only had a mere split-second decision to make, and that was to save Shikishima, so she did, nearly costing her life.
@@CookedSpringtrap we had thought of that in hindsight after we finished watching the movie and we were talking about everything that happened that they did not have a chance at all
Godzilla franchise is older than Star Wars. The movie gives a lot of dynamic, life after WW2, Godzilla resemble as a atomic weapon and possibly WW3, a disgraceful kamikaze, family, a relationship that is not confirmed verbally, and the ending part of killing Godzilla is a reference of what Kamikazes supposed to do during WW2. Great movie for sure! The theme song is very ionic as well.
Definitely very iconic in its own way from Star Wars, Godzilla has so much symbolism to events in real life. It’s amazing, if I am correct it’s the theme music from the 1954 Godzilla (which we do plan on reacting to).
One of the best reactions ive seen yet. The moment you realize he was able to eject from the plane is a very powerful moment in the film. I was going in for sure that he was going to sacrifice himself. But one thing this movie proves and shows is the growth of so many characters including Tachibana. This movie is the best of 2023 and i saw it 3 times in theaters, this is great story writing and it helps that im a huge Godzilla fan. Lol
We had the same thought! We were so gripped with this whole story it is flawless. We wished we could have seen it in theaters cause we bet it was an amazing experience but still being able to see it and provide that form of entertainment for all of y’all is an awesome experience
The Best godzilla movie.
Coolll reaction. Peace out 👊🏻
It definitely ranks VERY HIGH, after we watch Godzilla (1954) & Shin Godzilla we will rank them all. Have a good day! 👊🏻
CZcamsの中で最高のリアクション！！
Thank you! 🙏
This is the first video I've seen from the channel and it was simply the best reaction I've seen out of the dozens I've watched. Keep going. Hugs from Brazil
Thank you so much! We are happy you loved the reaction! We definitely don’t intend on stopping. And love & hugs from us in America!
Love your channel. What a great reaction that was! I was moved😭
Thank you so much! We are happy you loved the reaction & the channel!
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! It made me sob my eyes out, This movie definitely 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!!✨♥️😊
As a Godzilla fan, you can’t ask for more.
We so wanted to see it so bad in theaters but couldn’t find a sitter so we had to skip out. But either way such a fantastic movie and we loved every second of it. You’re welcome & thank you for watching our reaction! We can’t wait to watch Shin Godzilla!
@@SmittyBirdie oh yes! Shin Godzilla is also incredible! Wait till you see his atomic blast💜 his blast is the coolest one yet!
@@kristianbanks6450 oooo the way I just bounced up & down in my chair 😂, we are so excited for it.
@@SmittyBirdie I’m excited for you’re reaction to it !! Not to mention how terrifying Shin Godzilla’s design is👍🤗
@@kristianbanks6450 oooooo, we haven’t looked up any images of the movie too so we will be completely in the dark in his appearance! After we are done with our reaction to Jeepers Creepers is when we will be diving into Shin Godzilla
Loved your reaction I’ve seen this about at least 10 times on utube and it’s fantastic and although it won an Oscar it still didn’t get the props it should have the actors including the little girl should have all gotten Oscar’s and for the record every time I saw it I teared up A LOT! TOO! If You Haven’t Seen The Original Gojira 1954 Japanese version See It And I would love to se the sequel redone of the 1954 to this one that would really be awesome with the affects they have but keep it close to the original black and white 1954 version thanks again five ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ to your reaction keep it up and for the scary movies seeing them in a darker tone like the theater will give you a better feel to them.
Going into this one we never thought a Godzilla movie would make us cry but this one hit every emotion very hard & it was amazing. Can’t wait to rewatch it again. We can’t wait to watch the 1954 Godzilla, that’ll be coming up soon after we react to Shin Godzilla. Thank you so much! And yes! That’s why we usually have the lights off in our computer room when watching horror movies
Thank you.Really.Thank you.
You’re welcome and we thank you for loving the video!
Thank you, Smitty & Birdie. That was the best reaction I've ever seen on CZcams. I saw the movie three times in theaters in Japan and again on Amazon Prime. I reserved the DVD right after it was announced in Japan and watched the movie twice more. So, I know what happens in every frame of the movie, but every time you shed tears reacting to it, I need to pretend to blame someone for cutting onions.
And when I get out of the subway station in Ginza, I am amazed to see that the city is fully recovered and restored after the massive destruction that Godzilla caused, asking myself, "Was that Godzilla?"
Thank you for your comments, insights, and the heart.
Thank you so much! We love this move with all our heart. It is such a masterpiece & we can’t wait to see it again & buy the physical copy.
It just shows how amazing film can be with how it makes us feel with how you have these thoughts & feelings when you step off the train in Ginza.
You’re welcome! We love with this movie with every fiber of our being & wanted to make sure we did it right with paying respect to the directors & everyone involved with the filmmaking as well as the Japanese people & culture.
Nice reaction and nice t-shirts 😊
Thank you! And I know right? They are a gift from Smitty’s Dad, gotta love the real MTV & AC/DC.
One Of The Best / The Best Reaction For GODZILLA-Minus One On Internet . Reactions were Genuine From Heart. Loved Watching Your Reaction , Amazing.
Thank you so much!
That was an honest reaction to a great movie
Thank you 🙏
Iam japanese
I watched this movie at the theater more than 10 times. I was moved to tears every time. Thank you for watching too!
Sounds like an amazing experience every time you watched it! We are happy you enjoyed it so much! It is definitely a Top 10 film for us!
@@SmittyBirdie Hollywood's version of the Monsterverse is a single concept, but Japan's Toho Godzilla is overflowing with various plots and situations over its 70-year history. If you are interested, I would be happy if you could watch other Godzilla works as well!
I love you two!
Thank you for the love!
Movie opens with the pride of Japan, the venerable Japanese Zero Fighter. Along with the fictional Odo Island and the monster "Gojira". The premise of the movie is the survivors of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing of March 10th, 1945." Mankinds worst, more casualties in one night & lost in history to the Hiroshima Bomb. As it was raining fire on Tokyo. December 1945, the "Black Market" scene introduced Noriko & Akiko to Koichi is brilliant; with it's vendors, harlots and rice runner. On March 1946, the one year anniversary of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing", ironically, Koichi is drenched in rain water instead of fire; shares he found a job. Another date shows the sinking of the "Takao" as it surprises Godzilla with bombs. The "Takao" was involved in the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor.
On March 10th 2024, on the 79th anniversary of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing", Takashi Yamazaki & Crew is awarded the Oscar in Hollywood California. Takashi Yamazaki tells a great Japanese Post WII story using the great Japanese monster "Gojira", that people wouldn't be interested in anyway. Harley Davidson Motorcycle and the Japanese Imperial Army was a surprising discovery. As many others. The last line, Noriko looks to the side of the camera & says, "Is your war.....now, finally over."
That’s fascinating, thank you for sharing
During the atomic breath in Ginza. When it happened it was so fast. People froze because they're over shocked by the bomb including Kōichi. Noriko only had 2 seconds to think and all she could think of is to save Kōichi by using all her strength to push him inside the alley.
People watching at home, sitting comfortably, knowing what is going to happen. Like many many other youtubers' reactions, keep saying why did she do that? Run run run. That's just bit annoying. Haha
Otherwise excellent reaction from you guys.
It was one of those quick think moments for us in the heat & intensity of the moment of the scene. Coupled with the emotions that were already being built up prior to the scene knowing what most likely was going to happen that ended up happening. In hindsight when we finished & were talking about it off camera we came to the same realization,
Thank you!
I totally agree with you. Everyone else is seemingly pulled out of such a powerful moment to pull apart the logic of what happened. I was too immersed in the emotion of the scene to think "Well, why didn't she just do this?".
@@lovellmark50 to us there are going to be people that’ll freeze up in pure terror and others that fighter in them will come out and do just that. Run and try & fight till the end, dying trying to live if that’s what it comes to.
Wow! New sub here. Ive seen this movie 22 times so far and Ive watched like a hundred reactions and this was my favorite. You reacted the same as me to all the big moments. Ive seen just about all the Godzilla movies and this is by far the best.
Thank you for the support! This movie is ELITE! So gripping with its storytelling, action, special effects, etc. We absolutely loved it, we are planning on more Godzilla reactions as well! Our next ones will be Shin Godzilla & Godzilla 1954 then we will be diving into the Hesei era
@@SmittyBirdie I wanted to like shin Godzilla, but I just can’t get past how he looked especially in the beginning. He look like a cartoon. Nowhere near as good as minus one.
Those deep sea fish was epic foreshadowing. It was the clue how to defeat Godzilla. They rose to the surface too quickly and died. Decompression caused their innards to balloon out their mouths.
I was wondering why they looked like that, best guess was me saying they imploded when I was thinking silently. Little did I know I was in the ballpark
very good reaction
Thank you sir! 🙏
Who else loves how at 34:45 The King stands there amongst the destruction COMPLETELY unscathed and unaffected by everything the Japanese military launched against him??
Standing there unintimidated by it all before causing more destruction
The dark spot on her neck was some of Godzilla‘s regenerated cells blasted onto her body that came off of him whenever he let loose his atomic breath and were blasted onto her, and those cells helped regenerate her wounds quickly. This idea was first introduced into an earlier Godzilla movie called “Godzilla 2000” and it is called “Regenerator One” it is a special regenerative DNA that Godzilla possesses. Which way they’re going to go with this and how this is going to affect Noriko is anybody’s guess.
They definitely did open the door in multiple ways for a potential sequel
I thought it was called Regenerator G because of Godzilla?
@@LanceLust1980HugeTheWarningFan it’s called organizer G1 in the Japanese version, but in the American version it’s translated and called regenerator G1.
It may be that the G stands for Godzilla, or it may stand for gene, at any rate it’s talking about a unique gene that Godzilla possesses G 1
The specific Godzilla regenerative gene.
@@charlesmorris6476 Ah, I see. Yeah, after posting that I was thinking that it might be different in the Japanese version, which I have only seen once.
Best reaction i seen on the movie! I love how the ending is left open for speculation on Noriko's neck. Personally i feel she's infected by Godzilla's regenerative cells and thats what helped her survive.
Thank you! That’s the conclusion we came to as well after doing a little research. It’ll be interesting now what route they decide to take with that. If they will do a sequel or keep it as a one off
Japanese Godzilla movie just hit different. You guys should react to the Heisei era Godzilla movies. They consist of 7 movies starting from 1984 and ending in 1995. They all lead into one another as a continuing story. It was the MCU 20 years before the MCU was a thing.
Just finished searching & found the list of the titles of all 7. Once we finish reacting to Shin Godzilla & Godzilla 1954 these will be up next! Thank you for the awesome suggestion! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@SmittyBirdie You are very welcome anything to help out a fellow Kaiju fan. Also The original 1954 and Shin Godzilla movies are both incredible.
@@gwaltzilla we are so excited for these! Anything kaiju we eat it up, it’s one of the reasons why I love Pacific Rim so much
Small facts: the building in the backgrounds where the tanks engage Godzilla is National Diet Building, if atomic breath lands anywhere near it, which is estimated to be over 20 times stronger than Little Boy, not only the council, but Allied HQ and Imperal Palace as well as the majority of Japanese government, would be wiped out
So it's not that officials don't respond, but there is practially none after the attack
This makes so much sense! We didn’t know that! Thank you for that fun fact, it definitely shines a light on what they said about not getting government support for taking Godzilla down.
I'm Japanese.
I learned that director Stenberg watched this movie three times in a row. I also watched it three times in a row. I was moved and excited by the story and the love of humanity.
I was surprised to see that people from other countries were as moved and excited as I was.
I think Japanese movies are just as good as Hollywood movies.
I want everyone to watch the Japanese anime movie "Your Name," which was made about 10 years ago. I watched this movie three times in a row.
Please let me know what you think.
It is a very moving and powerful movie! Easily one of the best films we have ever seen. The Japanese really know how to make amazing films. Thank you so much for watching our reaction to this.
Thank you for the suggestion! We will add it to our list of films to watch!
I wasn't expecting Noriko to have survived. If the impact of hitting the ground after that shockwave from the Atomic Breath didn't kill her, the radiation surely would have. It was a very pleasant surprise that she was still alive, don't get me wrong. It is weird to see what appears to be Godzilla's scales on her neck.
That had us so shocked but we were so happy, we thought for sure she was dead off the same things you said. We had found out later that what is on her neck is Godzilla’s cells. Basically it caused her to heal like how Godzilla in the movie is able to regenerate when he was taking the hits from those mines.
@@SmittyBirdie
It'll be interesting to see if the fan theories that Noriko will eventually transform into the plant/human/GCell hybrid monster Biollante (first seen in the 1989 film Godzilla VS Biollante) come to pass. Part of me hopes that those *STAY* fan theories\.
@@rainbowpegacornstudios while that would be cool, I would rather it stay ended how it did. It was a perfect ending even though it ended on a cliffhanger
@@SmittyBirdie I would hope that if there WAS a sequel, that it includes a wedding between Koichi and Noriko
@@rainbowpegacornstudios we would love that, like starting the movie out with their wedding
Yes, they still use sea mines When they want to block harbors and Sea Lane
That makes sense, sub nets can only do so much when trying to seal a harbor off from entry.
57:38 that was part of Godzilla in her, in the original she was a sensory that can feel Godzilla and can in a way communicate with him, try Godzilla vs destroyer it’s was supposed to be the last Godzilla movie (for a reason but decided to continue it) and that’s when you SEE the first and original burning Godzilla that you also see in king of the monsters.
That is cool! We will check it out!
Are you talking about Miki from the Heisei era? Because I don't remember Emiko being able to communicate with the Big G in the original 1954 movie at all.
@@RawheadRez copyrights dude that’s why
The story , the score , the direction and cinematography. It was tremendous. So happy I got to see it in theatres. 🐐. Shin Godzilla is a solid number 2 to watch 👌🏽
All around fantastic movie, we have Shin Godzilla in our plans to react to since we haven’t seen it yet.
Minus One is the best of all Godzilla movie indeed, and I really love your reaction!
It’s elite! And thank you so much!
1:48 "wine." -Smitty
in a plastic cup. classy. 👍🏼😊
Lol she can't be trusted with glass, she had just broken one earlier that day.
Movie of the decade.
It packs a hell of a punch!
Wow! I cried just as much with you guys as I did the first time I watched it! Check out Shin Godzilla if you haven’t yet.
Also, it’s not Godzilla but explores some of the same themes: Grave of the Fireflies is pretty special. You’ll need tissues.
Shin and Grave are both Japanese films.
It was such an emotional roller coaster! We haven’t check out Shin Godzilla yet but it’s in our plans in the very near future.
Oooo that doing cool! Adding Grave to our list as well! Thank you for the recommendations!
Great reaction...I was happy to see these times in theater in color and 1 time in B/W. By the way, the black on her neck would be radiation poisoning from G
Thank you thank you, we are planning a rewatch of it in the black & white. I had figured that was the case, later confirmed when I dug around later. It’s a cool detail Yamazaki added to the movie
Honestly, i'm pretty surprise that lot of reactors says Noriko should've been jump with Shikishima, but the fact is that was shockwaves, and Shikishima was the closest person into building, Noriko did the right thing, if she's jump with him, she's still got crushed by that waves, in a real situation they both would have been died
Thank you for at least being rational about this unlike other people who were being condescending and calling us names cause we did think of that in retrospect when we were off camera and talking about it and the things we said during the reaction.
Nice shout out for the civilian boats at Dunkirk, man knows his history👍
Thank you! It gave me such strong vibes to Operation Dynamo. Nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer!
Didn’t tear up at all. I just had to put on my sunglasses at the credits. That’s all. Allergies. Ya. That’s all.
It’s just the onions being cut in the room, it’s okay.
Great reaction!
Thank you! We are happy you enjoyed it!
Just so you know, the black mark on her neck is Godzilla cells. If you don't believe me, look it up the Director himself said so.
It's a good thing that this movie already won an Oscar thanks to the twins, Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and of course, Michael Keaton made an appearance in there too
Oh when we finished recording it was the first thing I looked up & when I told Smitty she “I knew it!”
thank−you for five, from originalty japanese. regarding the train braking scene. the train had just departed from the station , so I assume the train has not reached it's maxmum speed.
You’re welcome! And that sequence was wild cause the train seemed to be going to so fast on initial look lol
Love ❤ Godzilla 98 more
That one was alright to us, we weren’t big fans of Godzilla’s look in that movie
Shinden is a real plane. It wasn’t put into production though. The war ended before it was put in production.
The J7W1 "Shinden" was more than just a prototype; more than two units were actually produced. However, the war ended while adjustments were still being made. This movie is based on that historical fact.
The Shinden boasted impressive specifications:
Maximum speed: 750 km/h
Armament: 4× 30 mm Type 5 cannons with 60 rounds per gun
Bombs: Capable of carrying either 4× 30 kg (66 lb) or 4× 60 kg (130 lb) bombs
With these capabilities, it was arguably the most powerful fighter aircraft of World War 2.
Absolutely. The prop they used for this movie is displayed at a museum in Fukuoka, Japan.
That is fascinating! We didn’t even know that the plane had existed & was planned for use prior to he watching this movie. It’s really cool how they injected real history into this amazing story they wrote.
If you look closely at the seat in the movie, you can see German written on it. The seat was a German one. Since Japan didn’t have the technology for it, they got it from Germany. You know the Japan-German thing back then.
Of course that’s just in the movie. But little Easter Eggs from the director.
@@user-mh8zf4kv4m we didn’t notice that but that is a cool little Easter egg. When we do our rewatch we will be paying attention for that.
this is the best godzilla movie. if you are looking for other good godzilla movies theres shin and the original godzilla movie id also reccomend gmk if you want another evil godzilla
Shin and the original we are definitely going to react to, what’s GMK?
@@SmittyBirdie gmk is godzilla mothra king gidorah: giant monsters all out attack the movie with the most evil godzilla
@@NodzergHorde1997 love those characters too! We will be getting into those movies after 1954
The train trolly was built in the 1920's it had robust brakes as it made a lot of start and stops on it's route. it went around 10 to 17 miles an hour. So it had time to stop. revearsing sadly would have taken longer to get back up to speed.
Impressive and it definitely seemed like it was going a whole lot faster than 17 lol
@@SmittyBirdie They had a top balls to the wall speed of 25 mph but this was the morning comute with many passengers to pick up so they averaged 10 to 17 mph.
@@edgarcia4794 with weight and everything else it makes the braking power all the more impressive
@@SmittyBirdie Sure .that was why it would go slower at ten or so miles an hour which is what I've read was the norm . Had it been doing twenty + the stopping power probably wouldn't have been enough to stop the collision or derailment from a bent track before impact.. As I mentioned they 'd have to come to a complete stop before going into reverse and would take a while to get back to that top speed which was their only chance to evade Godzilla had he not wanted to pursue them once they were out of his way.
@@edgarcia4794 true
Love seeing these reactions pop up but gotta point out a couple things that every reaction seems to miss.
1. The mine blast catches the end of their boat, so they couldn't escape.
2. The atomic blast is basically a nuke that exploded a few blocks away. So imagine how quickly Norikos reaction to push Koichi actually was.
When the dust settled from the hype and intensity after we finished watching. And we’re talking about the movie off camera. We had thought about that how it blew the key components clean off the boat and how they had no chance of escape even though my always initial thought is fighting to survive how you can. It just moves way too fast to actually be able to truly escape something like that.
I’d do the monsterverse namely Kong/Godzilla. It’s not as character driven but there’s ok because people want to see the titans fight more in these 😂
Lol we have seen all the monster verse films outside of the latest one that just released
Noriko's body mass . She had to plant herself and dig in to push Koichi to safety She didn't have the weight to tackle him and her without a running start. It was that same lack of body mass that threw her with the leading edge of the shockwave just before the heavier debris.
True
Thank you. You guys have provided great reactions.
I actually saw some reaction videos recently. Many of them were from young Americans. They were laughing out loud at the scene where many people were killed by Godzilla. They were probably watching the Godzilla movie as if they were enjoying a shooting game. It was very disgusting. I'm glad that your reactions empathize with the feelings of the filmmakers and many Japanese people.
Oh, when you rewatch this movie, I recommend "Godzilla/-1/-color".

Thank you!
Seriously? That’d just disgusting that they would laugh at something that is tragic and terrifying that isn’t even meant to be funny in the slightest.
Is that the black & white version of the film? Cause we definitely have it in our plans to watch that version as well.
Godzilla is regenerating but it will take some time for his brain to get back up to functioning from it's raw blank form. Nothing to remember.
So a regenerated Godzilla that remembers nothing, very interesting
@@SmittyBirdie Sure arguably his lobes were blown to bits and with them any memories. Now if they have that his brain was still more or less intact after the blast then everything is back on the sci-fi table.
@@edgarcia4794 MechaGodzilla! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@SmittyBirdie With 1940's -50's tech? That would look interesting.

I keep hearing reactors claiming that the handle to arm the bomb is the ejection seat. I understand the misunderstanding but when the mechanic says that it's to arm the bomb, that is what it is for. If it had been to eject the seat, he would have said as much.
I believe that in a plane they have to arm the bomb before they use it because the turbulence of the plane could very well make it explode before they get to deploy it.
Shin Godzilla 2016 is my favorite Godzilla movie, Minus One is a close second. I recommend it, but many don't like it due to the story being somewhat of a satire. I'm not big on satires but I love Shin Godzilla. I didn't even realize it was a satire until it was being mentioned by everyone who reviewed it.
Now, I gotta ask. Have you reacted to Nope 2022? That's my all-time favorite movie. Again, not everyone likes the movie. Some are distracted by a certain subplot in the movie that some don't understand how integral it is to the story and plot. I've seen it over 20 times, so I'm pretty familiar with it, and most who don't like the movie, I doubt they'd be willing to give it another chance.
I can't claim to have understood the movie the first couple times watching it, but I enjoyed it enough to watch it a few times and then I started watching reactions. I've seen days upon days of reactions to Nope. I get disappointed when people don't like it, but it's fun to watch everyone react to it. There are some really crazy moments in the movie that are just hilarious to watch the confusion and utter terror on the faces of those who watch it.
Deception could always be in play, maybe he could have said oh yeah this is to arm the bomb when in reality it was the ejection seat to essentially force him to eject because maybe he thought he would never do it. It was the thought we had in the moment before the flashback displaying him showing which one is the ejection seat.
We have planned Shin Godzilla & Godzilla 1954 as a reaction & we are planning reactions for the Jordan Peele horror trilogy of Get Out, Nope, & Us.
@@SmittyBirdie I watched another reaction video and right when the bomb arming handle was pulled, they said, "I guess I was wrong about the ejection seat." Many seem to think even though the mechanic says the handle is for the bomb, I guess most just think it's an election seat because everyone wants there to be one. And there was one, just not the same handle.
I apologize if I seem rude. It just trips me whenever someone decides they are talking about something they aren't.
I can't wait to find your future videos.
@@LanceLust1980HugeTheWarningFan we didn’t take it as you being rude so no worries. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
This was probably the best godzilla film. But I highly recommend "Shin Godzilla" as well as the original black and white 1954 film (make sure its the original one and not the American edited one)
We have it in the plans to react to both!
@@SmittyBirdie awesome! I'll be watching both reactions
@@ThatGuyB_ry hell yeah! Just to let you know the movie we are reacting to next is Jeepers Creepers then after that it’ll be Shin Godzilla
@SmittyBirdie ok cool. I never saw jeepers creepers so I'll have to skip that one for now lol but I'll def tune back in for Godzilla!
@@ThatGuyB_ry sounds good! 🤘🏻
7:38 not village. It's urban area in Tokyo attacked by US's air strike
Ohhhh our bad, we saw the homes & it gave off village vibes. Plus we had just watched The Wailing and they looked kinda similar in appearance with the homes and I guess could say layout. Minus all the damage from the air strikes
I always thought Koichi should have dropped his bomb in the ocean as his excuse. The planes were only given enough fuel to get to their target, so without a bomb, a Kamikaze can't do a ton of damage. Landing on a bombed out runway, with nearly empty tanks and a bomb hanging from the belly would have been risky anyway. There actually have been WWII mines found floating free as recently as the last decade, so there are still some out there.
That’s true, would have given less reasoning of suspicion that backed out.
Wow that’s amazing honestly, I wonder why they haven’t been blown up for safe measure.
@@SmittyBirdie YOU try finding a 4' diameter mine floating in 139 million square miles of ocean. That's the problem with both ocean and land mines; even those who lay them don't know where they put them. Google search "WWII mine found" and your jaw will drop
@@shannonchurchill4556 touché, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack
Godzilla blown up a entire warship
Our jaws were hanging so low they were on the floor during that scene
who would've thought we would cry in a godzilla movie 🤣🤣
Certainly not us 😂, it’s amazing filmmaking
@@SmittyBirdie for once, I actually cared about the human elements in a godzilla movie, and rooting the humans againts godzilla 🤣🤣
@@muhdmuazamsyah the Japanese are better at it since they tell the story of Godzilla as the antagonist versus here is America of Godzilla as the protagonist saving the world
@@SmittyBirdie when Noriko "died", I was like "i hope they atomize him" 🤣🤣
@@muhdmuazamsyah lmao that would have been wild but lovely to see happen.
Hello there,
Did you react to the usa movies as well? If yes i cant find them.
We haven’t reacted to those, we have seen all of them since Godzilla 2014. Just not the latest Godzilla X Kong movie that just released a few months ago
@@SmittyBirdie ok thank you fór answer.😁 And I'm glad that you actually felt bad for the soldiers on Takao. Most of the people i saw reacting were treating them like cannon fodders and thats all. I really appreciat you for that 🫡
@@SmittyBirdie And sorry I forgot to add Shin Godzilla Is even better in my opinion then 2014 i look forward to your reaction if you do it 😅😁
@@obersoldaten2954 you’re welcome! respect well earned, they died horrible deaths on that ship. What we felt during that scene is hard to describe
@@obersoldaten2954 we are in the planning stages of reacting to Shin Godzilla & we are excited!
1954 godzilla film this is the 1st one...
Yes it is
Did yall try to tell people to outrun a nuclear blast? People know that scene was in slow motion right?
Did you think that we thought of that after we were done watching and thought of that when were talking about it in an offscreen recap that it was not a logical thing to say?
@@SmittyBirdie no, it's a nuclear blast. And yall didn't do it but many other people have said they hated the movie because people should have ran when Seeing the blast and that she should have jumped into the corridor. I want to believe that you guys rethought it later and realized but I can't know for sure because many didn't.
素晴らしいリアクションでした❤🎉
Thank you! We are happy you loved it!
泣いてくれるのが嬉しいですよね？
Yes, it’s a real plane. John Denver died and crashed in a plane with that type of design.
Really?? I knew he died in a plane crash just didn’t know it was of similar design
@@SmittyBirdie Yep
from japanese love your guy reaction movie 10/10 thanks you so much for honest react ❤❤
Thank you for the support of the video! We are happy you loved it!
you need to watch Shin Godzilla next
We are indeed planning that one out! We got a couple of movies we have to react to first then after those are done it’ll be Shin Godzilla that’ll be next
Less than a 15 million dollar budget too
The budget went to all the right places
@SmittyBirdie Yep. Not over paid actors. This film was perfectly cast.
@@aether13x69 done a whole better than the VFX of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania. That was upsetting VFX, but it pays to allocate a lot of money to that and actually be patient with the VFX Studio to get the best product possible.

It’s such a powerful, emotional movie! We are happy you enjoyed the video!
Yes Shinden did exist as a proto type fighter against US bomber at the very end of the WW2, consequently not in time of real war.
Anyway, Thank you for your fantastic reaction and evaluation on this movie (from Japan).
That would have been a lethal out in battle from what we have heard about what she was capable of doing. Thank you for your support of the video!
この映画誰も悪く言わないのが凄いな
I know right?? Going into the movie we heard the reviews and had an idea of how good the movie was. But we didn’t expect to have our minds completely blown away. It truly is a masterpiece in film.
私も含め大勢の人がこの映画が大好き。スミティさん＆バーディーさんも本当に気に入ってくれてるのが伝わってくる。

それと、政治的にリベラルな日本人は軒並みこの映画が嫌いみたいだよ。
@@3310aozora why do politically liberal Japanese people hate this movie?
@@SmittyBirdie They say it's made to look like an anti-war film, but it's about a group of former Imperial Navy soldiers who lost in World War II and are playing Loser's Rematch.
They say it is symbolized by the ex-soldier's line, “This time around.
@@SmittyBirdie They say that the movie is not saying that the war was bad, but that losing the war was bad.
In the end, they say, it is nothing more than a glorification of militarism.
Being judgmental on the judgmental neighbor…. 😂😂😂. I love her arc. She was hitting him because he lived at the beginning of the movie, and then hitting him again because he almost died at the end. 😢. Beautiful writing.
Should watch Shin Godzilla too. Not as good as this one, but very different from the American Godzilla movies.
Lol she was asking a lot questions and was like dang seems like she’s got beef with him 😂 then it turned out to be nothing and she was upset. Yes very great writing, we loved that amongst many other parts of the film.
Shin Godzilla is in our plans in about 2-3 weeks

A great movie with so many accolades, except winning an Oscar(or Grammy) they both are terrible.
Forgive us, but are you saying the Oscar & Grammy is terrible? We are a bit confused by the comment.
@@SmittyBirdie Winning an Oscar is no longer an accomplishment. It's popularity has been plummeting faster than Godzilla down the trench. The academy gave them an Oscar to try to save face. This movie's greatest accomplishment is how it brought joy to so many people despite a shoestring budget.
“Y’all need to go”, “Y’all need to run “. RUN WHERE??????!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 You can’t outrun a nuke, that has a blast radius of miles. Once you realize it is a nuke, it is over. Only thing you can do is accept your fate
We know y’all, we thought about this in hindset after we finished recording & shut the computer down. It’s amazing how many times we’ve gotten this type of comment said to us.
ハンカチが必要でしたね、、、（笑）
ハリウッドも昔のスターウォーズやバックトゥザフューチャーのような映画が作られる事を願います。
Yes! The one time Smitty didn't have her tissues on hand she cried her eyes out, we hope this motivates Hollywood as well to make their content as well as done as this movie was. And it was done on 15 million dollars which is amazing considering how a lot of movie budgets are really high.
