Because I guarantee, Hollyweirds new mission will be to destroy Godzilla.

10000% agreed! Saw it last night and was so surprised (and happy) that I found myself so connected and attached to the characters. When the humans were on screen, I didn't find myself thinking "Ok, but where's Godzilla?" Instead, I was invested in their stories and cared about what happened to them. When Godzilla came in, his presence was even more impactful for that reason. And for $15 million production budget?! Take note Hollywood!!

Yes, the VFX people there make workman wages, but the main reason for the low budget is that Japan's film industry isn't stuffed full of unions, the teamsters, a boardroom full of idiot overpaid execs ...and actors who need 40ft limos, house-sized dressing trailers, etc. To them it's a job, one that they're passionate about - and it showed on every single frame of the film.

All the ships and fighter planes that appear in the movie are real and belong to the Japanese military, which was active during World War II. The ship “Yukikaze”used in the final operation was famous as a lucky ship during the war. During World War II, it sailed more than 16 sorties on important operations. The war ended without suffering any major damage. The ship is the only surviving destroyer of its type. Therefore, just by hearing the name "Yukikaze" military fans knew that this operation would be successful. In an interview, director:Yamazaki said, ``If you're a battleship model geek, you'll probably be drawn to the movie theater.'' Although Godzilla-1.0 does change historical facts, it is designed with the idea of ``How to fight against Godzilla with Japan's remaining military strength in 1947.''

What Minus One excelled at, besides having real emotional weight on the cast, was getting Godzilla back to its roots: the monster is a proper force of terror, not generic summer blockbuster spectacle.

The Human story and characters drive this film, so when Zilla shows up the emotional stakes are ramped up for the characters and the audience. A lot of sobbing around me during the film and a ovation at the end, which Barbie had at the screening I attended. This is 85% a Post War Japan Drama and 15% Horror movie. Jaws wasn’t this terrifying. A Masterpiece; one of the ten best films I’ve attended since 2019.

If there is a sequel, I would like Takashi Yamazaki to be the director. No other Japanese director would have been able to produce images and scripts like this, and there is no such director in Japan! Above all, he is the only VFX professional in Japan.

The first Pacific Rim movie really made me want more monster movies that actually focus on the fights and the monsters. So I was a bit let down by the 2014 Godzilla, which didn't really have much for monster fights. King of Monsters gave me a lot more of what I wanted, and while the people weren't exactly strong characters, I could kind of get behind their motivations, so I really enjoyed it. Minus One is very much a movie about the people. I wasn't sure how I would feel about this. But I can definitely think of some of the older Godzilla movies that were like this, so it's not like I didn't expect it could work, just that recent examples suggested it wouldn't. Sometimes its great to be wrong. This is a movie about survivors guilt, ptsd, failure of duty, and the human effort to push past tragedy. It's a monster movie that doesn't forget that what makes monsters scarier than gore is how much we can relate to the humans facing it.

I'm really not surprised why the movie's so well received. Asian movies, whether they are from Japan, China, South Korea and others, still understand how to tell great universal stories regardless of the genre. While the mainstream American cinema has been majorly concerned (and obsessed) about not offending anyone, going more for a ultra light and PC tone for many years now, Asia just don't give an F. Train to Busan is probably one of the best zombie movie ever made and it's packed with emotions on top of the action. The movie I saw the Devil is really grim and disturbing but the writing and the acting are spectacular. When I compare this to Western cinema and what happened with the MCU and others, in my mind, there's no such thing as ''superhero fatigue''...but ''poor writing fatigue''? 100%. And also, it makes you wonder where all those 200 million dollars went. District 9 still look better than The Marvels (for example). I think that's the difference between passion and a product.
