The acting was so good that I almost did not need the subtitles during parts, especially those with deep emotion. Such a great movie, homage, film, piece of art...
Well said
As a Xennial who pretty much grew up with Toho Godzilla and raised by Japanese Americans, I cried the moment I heard the first note of the Godzilla theme. I cried a LOT actually. That scene where the girl pushes our main guy out of the way to take the aftershock had my jaw DROPPED. Totally unexpected.
This was a perfect movie for me. I agree with the criticisms but in no way did that affect my enjoyment and the memories that came wave after wave from watching old Godzilla movies and seeing this new entry was so meaningful to me.
If ANYONE doesn't see this movie because it has subtitles is missing out on one of the best, if not THE best, Godzilla movie ever created.
Totally an Oscar worthy film
No it is not.
Godzilla Minus One is a real movie and does not include LGBTQ it is not about racial issues or any other diverse bull shit.
💯
@@kazukinishimura526oh BROTHER 🙄
YES!!!!! IT WON AN OSCAR!!!! HELLS YEAH!!!!
@@kazukinishimura526 how wrong you were
Just got expanded into more theaters this coming weekend, already at $41m worldwide on a $15m budget and still yet to open in many more markets!
Great review! The Balloon Guys, the craftsman-like people at small and medium-sized Japanese companies, are really like that. The uniforms and logos were also very realistic to Japanese people.
Excellent movie! Urge everyone to watch this when they can!
This movie was awesome, well-balanced story, i never knew Godzilla had regeneration abilities, 😅😅😅 it really got me off guard.
Fabulous film, I'm giving it 8.5/10 I had a great time.
That Godzilla plug sounds like a party plug 😂
Nah the acting wasn’t over dramatic. Most western actors are just under-acting so you’re just used to under acting. I mean look at the Rock. He request millions and pretty much act the same way in every movie. Highly inflated.
Anyways, I love the acting in this movie. They had realistic reactions to a terrifying ordeal and the trauma they face. It was what drawn me in. 10/10.
Yeah I think aside from some great performances here and there, a lot of western acting tends to be too subtle and bland. This movie was incredible.
Authentic serious theatre on the level of Korosawa energized with great monster effects. Can't fail formula. NOT melodramatic. BTW Godzilla didn't eat people.
The director made it clear. The girl is 2 years old, so she is not acting. Famous actors around the girl wait for days, waiting for the right coincidental moment. If she happens to cry, Mr. Siksima acts at the right moment. The camera keeps rolling. It is edited and completed.
That atomic blast was literally a bomb. That was wild.
The acting feeling over dramatic is a cultural difference. I watch a lot of Japanese and Korean films and they all mostly go big during dramatic scenes. Big cries and lots of movement, very different from the subtlety we prefer in our drama.
all we got is wooden acting. We used to have far more range in the days of the lord of the rings. Or star wars.
If you ever wonder why none of these entertainment sticks with you are are just slop, its because nothing matters with these characters that get you to care.
I actually prefer overacting than someone who can’t act
In Japan, dramas broadcast during specific time slots on weekend nights are extremely popular, often characterized by their exaggerated acting. This style bears a resemblance to the traditional Japanese performing art of Kabuki. While there are certainly films with more naturalistic acting, they tend to be less mainstream.
The latest Godzilla movie was directed by someone known for mainstream films in Japan. As such, the acting is straightforward and enjoyable for a broad audience, although some might find it over-the-top. Interestingly, to the Japanese, big productions like Marvel or Disney movies can also seem to have exaggerated acting. I wonder if Americans perceive it the same way?
They do it soo good .
YES! Thank you for doing this movie
Loved Godzilla Minus One!❤ Great video! 😎👍
I read somewhere that the mark on her neck at the end was supposed to showcase a common symptom of radiation poisoning (but I forgot the source)
The guy on the left, his reviews are the real deal. Overall funny, good legitimate review from everyone.
Greatest Atomic breath ever!! hope Hollywood takes notice!
Im so glad someone else gave love to thr Baloon giys. Those guys were awesome lol im convined they wouldve gladly taken shikisamas place to fly the plane into godzilla mouth 🤣
This was a great discussion/review with a lot of good points. I loved this movie, my favorite for 2023.
I will always need Godzilla, great movie
I hope there will.l be a Deep Dive of this movie on the other channel.
The director did a great job as a script writer and visuals guy.
The Intro Had Me Dying IMMEDIATELY 😂😂 Breakroom On Top
It was phenomenal!
😺🦖 This was great, more of this please!
This year we have 2 heart broken screams both from Japan. 1 from AOT - Amir’s scream and 1 from Godzilla Minus One when the main character collapsed after Ginza attack
Minus one was sooo good! But I’m really taken back about the positive reception to GodzillaXKong, that seems like a huge downgrade
Because if you grew up with Godzilla you appreciate the serious and goofy godzilla
You gotta remember out of the 37 godzilla films only 4 or 5 are godzilla being serious and the threat to be taken down the rest are VS films
THANKS for this, BreakRoom folks!!!
Watching Brandon read copy while Evan mouths along behind him is hilarious.
Like usual I'm one of the black sheep. My first Godzilla movie was the one from the 90's that not many people liked. I loved it to be honest. 😅
1:25 you guys are so inappropriate… I love it 😂
The balloon guys!😂😂😂
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤
One thing that's disappointed me the most that it's not gonna win an Oscar for best foreign film because Japan has decided to choose perfect days to win in that category. Godzilla 100% deserve to win that category and many people around the world would be happy to see that result but unfortunately and this is me just guessing since they released the movie late 2023 so they decided to choose perfect days because at that time Japan thought that film is the best film to win best foreign film. Can't they just change the decision for Godzilla minus one to be nominated in that category? Because the only hope I got is Godzilla to win best vfx and the movie has already been nominated for that category so it would be nice to Godzilla win 2 Oscars. It's just so unfortunate to see Godzilla minus one to only just win one Oscars and im not even confident it can even win best vfx. To win 0 Oscars would be devastating 😥😓
Um I've been waiting decades for Godzilla AND Godzuki! #releasethegodzukicut
I even liked more than Shin!
Offset someone just punching a Cocomelon doll 😂
I'm so stressed I can't see this movie yet 🤣
Same
Why isn’t new Rockstars covering the Monarch show? It’s my favorite Godzilla story so far.
The first minute 1/2 of this video had me dying holy fuck
I keep waiting for the guy on the right to give his opinion (since he's the Godzilla virgin) and no one else is letting him talk and you can see he's frustrated but laughing along and when he does get something in everyone ignores him. It's like the 3 guys are talking to each other and he's just...there. But he didn't stop trying until he got in. Kudos. But I'm new here and maybe he's never on camera so there's that.
I finally saw it. Best Godzilla film ever made but... it may NOT be my favorite Godzilla film ever made. I had some pacing issues with it. Some parts, I was almost falling asleep. I wasn't completely engaged to the story and we see Godzilla pretty quickly. No waiting 30+ minutes for him to show up and tear shit up. We see him within 5 minutes.
Within 15 minutes, I started thinking Minus One makes a perfect double feature with Oppenheimer the way Sofia Coppola's Priscilla is complementary to Baz Luhrmann's Elvis. In Oppenheimer, we only saw it from the American perspective. We didn't even see the attack. Minus One is coming from the Japanese POV but post-WW2 during the atomic bombs' aftermath.
Godzilla is a metaphor to the atomic bombs on Hiroshima/Nagasaki the same way King Kong is a metaphor to African slavery. We should've got Oppenzilla. Godheimer or Zillaheimer sounds weird and Oppenheimer did come out first. It's true that this film is more of a modern remake to the 1954 film and not the kaiju fighting films that would come out after the original classic and were basically used to help sell kaiju toys.
So my FAVORITE Godzilla film remains... Godzilla vs. Kong (2021). It's not better than Minus One by any means. The human characters in Minus One are much better developed. I probably like Noriko more than any human character who appeared in GvK. But GvK is more rewatchable and more fun. I prefer the fun Godzilla films over the more serious Godzilla ones we got in 1954, 2014, and 2023.
I'm starting to think Godzilla is one of my top 10 favorite movie characters ever. I knew him before I ever saw Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and Star Wars. I'm aware he's the big bad monster in Minus One like he was in the 1954 film. And the Legendary one is more a protector of Earth like he's the Anakin of kaijus bringing balance to order and chaos.
Godzilla rules! I'm loving my Hiya KOTM figure. The beige/copper on it doesn't look good in CZcams videos, but in real life, they look fine especially under direct sunlight. I corrected the head enough that the gap is barely noticeable. It's not a flawless figure anyway. The largest dorsal plate isn't 100% aligned to the dorsal plates below it.
What can you expect from plastic toys made in China? Like 99% of the general population would not notice the flaws if I never said anything. Say I sold my KOTM to get the Hiya GvK V2, who is to say that won't be flawed either? And it's not like I'm planning to sell it for profit. It's there just for display and it already lost most of it's value once it's out of the box.
What I need now is for Hiya to make a Minus One Godzilla. Make it half the size of my KOTM to get the right scale for it, same articulation as the MonsterVerse ones, splash some brown color on it, and I'm good. The Bandai is decent but I don't want it to be only gray as the color. I'm starting to understand the addiction collecting Godzilla toys.
I will say that I may now prefer the Legendary Godzilla over any other Godzilla design and this includes Minus One and I wasn't a fan of it initially but getting the Hiya figure helped me like it more. Minus One has a head closer to a T-Rex shape but he moves slowly like he does in the Toho films. He moves very stiff.
I find Minus One Godzilla to be rather weak since this is a throwback to 1954 when he was half the size as MonsterVerse G19/G21 and this doesn't involve the kaiju fighting with other titans. It really wasn't difficult to defeat Godzilla in Minus One. KOTM/GvK Godzilla would steamroll over Minus One Godzilla since he weighs 4x heavier and is 230 feet taller.
So I guess my favorite Godzilla film and Godzilla design now comes from Legendary. I may not have the urge to buy a Minus One figure anymore although I do find his dorsal plates to look really good. I expect GxK to have Kong getting wounded by Skar King and then coming to Godzilla for help to battle him and Shimu. Big G returns the favor after Big K helped him defeat Mechagodzilla.
Favorite Godzilla Films
1. Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
2. Godzilla Minus One (2023)
3. Godzilla (2014)
4. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
5. Godzilla (1954)
6. King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)
7. Godzilla (1998)
You know if I saw the 1998 Godzilla again and just pretend it's a different creature, I don't think I would hate it that much. It's a monster/disaster movie a decade before Cloverfield where you see this large creature destroy Manhattan.
Favorite Godzilla Designs
1. KOTM/GvK (2019/2021)
2. Godzilla (2014)
3. Godzilla Minus One (2023)
4. Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991)
5. Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)
Honestly, I haven't seen enough Godzilla films to be a great judge at it. All I know is I prefer the Legendary/MonsterVerse design the most when I initially didn't like it. Getting the Hiya figure helped.
I know some prefer the 2014 one as it's better proportioned but I prefer the larger dorsal plates on the 2019/2021 ones and no longer mind the smaller head. We also got the Showa roar back by 2019. KOTM and GvK are essentially the same with a few minor tweaks. The 2014 was Godzilla at his weakest state.
Minus One might have the coolest spine as his largest dorsal plates look like shurikens and he looks more menacing being the Jaws/Jurassic Park dinosaurs of this film, but he's not that powerful. Terrifying and powerful are two different things. It seems very easy to defeat him being smaller and slower. He still moves like he did in '54. Didn't like his roar either.
Favorite Godzilla Fight: Godzilla vs. Kong
Favorite Godzilla Roar: Showa (esp 1962)
Favorite Godzilla Rubber Suits: Hensei
Rewatching King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), I didn't realize how awful both Kong and Godzilla looked. As a kid from the 80s, it doesn't register until you get older and see more Godzilla movies. Godzilla had this Oscar the Grouch muppet look in '62. Kong looked much worse. An extremely ugly gorilla costume. But Godzilla 1962 does have my all-time favorite roar.
If I decided to get more Godzilla figures, I would only get one for Minus One, the 1991 GvKG, and Final Wars. The SH Monsterarts for G91 looks awesome! One of the best figures I've seen of him. But I'm very happy with the Hiya KOTM being it's already my favorite design and GvK being my favorite movie with him. GvK had more epic fights than anything I saw from Captain America: Civil War.
Godzilla's height
2019/2021: 394 ft
2014: 354 ft
1991/1995/2004: 328 ft
1954/1975/2023: 164 ft
Godzilla can pretty much kill any of the largest dragons in Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, and any dragon before HOT D starts. Just swinging his tail alone would cripple Balerion and Vhagar. But Godzilla would be a featherweight to Superman who can probably throw him into outer space.
Should I watch it at home on a 65” or at the theater!? Please answer 😂
Theatre please
Cotton candy randy?
Minus One was excellent. It’s a shame that the Monarch series is so shallow compared this.
Did she have a curse mark on her neck at the end or something?? Is she an OG movie alien?
I've seen it conjectured as cancer or an infection from Godzilla which kind of explains how she could survive being shredded.
Comment👍
Can we go back to drinking together?
Coi is so fine🥵
I don't like seeing Godzilla Evil
Truly boring movie. Godzilla vs. Kong way better......you have got to be kidding me..
