Godzilla is the perfect example of "Doing the same concept a thousand times and still making it fresh and exciting"
In the realm where titans rise, Godzilla emerges with fiery eyes. From ocean depths, a force untamed, A creature of legend, by fate proclaimed. Scales like armor, a primal sheen, In the city's heart, a colossal scene. Roars that echo through the urban sprawl, Godzilla, the behemoth, towering tall.
Disney should learn
@@Rigeltan537did you write a fucking haiku about a nuclear lizard
This will be the thirtieth, (yes, thirtieth) Godzilla movie. Not counting the animated ones. If you count those, it's three animated series, and three animated movies. This is also the third movie, to tell the story of Godzilla's first appearance. Personally I think it's been way overdone already, and pounded into the ground as far as it will go. I'll still end up watching this one. Why not ? It looks good.
@@stephensmith7293isn't it the fourth movie to tell the story of Godzilla's first appearance? With the original, the heisei one, Shin, and now Minus One?
They did it. After 70yrs, Godzilla brought home an Oscar. Thank you, Yamazaki. You were one of the best things to happen to the franchise.
cgi should get no award
@@Ihavetruth22why not?
@@Ihavetruth22Well that's just too bad isn't it?
@@skeletor2994 because its ugly. So make the people cgi too. charge a quarter for the arcade game.
@@Ihavetruth22 When you spent 200 mil on some CGI fight with "okay" story then no. But when you can do THIS "CGI" with only 15 mil budget and have an amazing story then it's absolutely deserve the Oscar.
who is here after win award for best visual effects award?
Everyone
I am
me
Hell yeah.
This was a great film through and through I had wished it was nominated & won for best foreign film
I think it’s very interesting how Minus One got popular (it also appealed to western audiences, which is more rare for Asian movies). Most movies today get popular because of hype, big name actors, and mass marketing. But Minus One got popular in a more retro (and better) way. Its success was mainly due to word of mouth and how people told other people about just how amazing it is. Movies getting success and becoming popular in this fashion isn't as common as it was in the 20th century and stuff. So it's cool how this movie's popularity was spread in this fashion And it proves you don’t need 250 million dollars to make a movie with great visual effects. Congrats on the Oscar, Toho 🔥
100%. I showed my dad the trailer because I found it interesting, but he's not a Godzilla fan... At all. Me neither, to be honest, I just like historical period films. Then I remember someone saying "it's more respectful of history than the Napoleon movie" I knew I had to watch it. Then, when my folks heard my brother and I were gonna watch it *and* how great it was... Well, we bought a whole row of seats because it was my friends and our folks, neither Godzilla or Japanese movie fans... And let me tell you, I think it was the best film we saw in 2023. One of the guys with us legit burst into tears at... That scene (if you know you know).
@@dfmrcv862 total masterpiece, that’s what this is. It’s cool when films get popular because of the fact that they’re actually good. It totally got robbed at the Oscar’s, though :P
First movie I have watched in theaters since 2019. I just liked the concept of Godzilla set in the 1940's where the story revolves around WWII mentalities rather than Cold War mentalities.
Yep. I found out about it just a couple days before its English release thanks to its historical/WWII-ish setting, having never seen a Godzilla film before. I ended up watching it in theatres four times, something I've never done with any other film. I mean this in a good way, but Godzilla here is "just" what he was originally created to be: A walking natural (or unnatural) disaster. Outside of that it's a wonderful, very human story about trying to rebuild after the horrors of war, about dealing with trauma, and about persevering through that with family and friends. It's about hope, and a belief in humanity and the value of a single life. It's a fantastic period piece, with excellent visuals and real-world-appropriate military vehicles; every named ship in the film (Takao, Yukikaze, Hibiki, Yuukaze, Keyaki, Ikuno, Katashima) was one of the few ships to actually survive the war in reality, which further showcases the love and care put into this. And the fact that a subtitled foreign-language film of all things is being universally praised for its amazingly human and relatable characters speaks volumes about not just the quality of the film and the acting, but also of how so much of what makes us all human, all the same, _isn't_ what we happen to look like or what language we speak. Everyone relates and empathizes because they're simply fellow human beings.
I just heard of it 2 days ago! I have to watch it this weekend niw
This wasn’t just a great Godzilla movie, it was a great movie period. Even after 70 years, Toho’s still got it.
70 years wow!!! Go go go Godzilla!! He’s better than King Kong in my book!!!
I am just kidding. I am just making fun of politically correct Disney and Hollywood movies.
Godzilla came from Toho, of course 😄 Looks like the only movies of the monsters have been this and the 1954 original
Yes! Loved this movie. It had it all. I must add that the most shocking thing about this movie was I got so emotional at the end.....didn't see that coming lol
@@yvie914me too. I was like what is happening! I very rarely cry and a movie hasn't made me cry since I was a kid but this movie came as close to making me cry as anything has in the last 20 years. I think this is probably one of the best films I've seen by far since the 90s.
Minus One is a perfect example of finding the right person for the job and letting them create art. This is Takashi Yamazaki's film, a pure vision. It shows what happens when a studio doesn't interfere with talented artists. You end up with a masterpiece.
💯
Perfectly said 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🎇💯
Yep. Big American studio films have corporate people on set with hawk eyes in every single little thing. As an American, being able to see a return to an original Japanese Godzilla and have it be very personal and emotional is a treasure.
Well that's a bit of a stupid thing to say, since Toho has always had a very hands on approach with Godzilla, maybe except the first film. Studios are not bad and can actually build a lasting legacy, where the studio is the author and not the director. Toho is the creative voice behind Godzilla. The only Japanese Godzilla that Toho probably didn't have much control over was shin godzilla, but that's because it was Hideaki Anno. Similar as to how Disney is seen as the author of most of their animated catalogue or how Ghibli is seen as the author of their non-Miyazaki films.
If you were to tell someone 20 years ago that a Godzilla film was going to win an Oscar,they'd just laugh at you. Bet they're not laughing anymore.
It should’ve gotten nominated for at least five more categories. This was certainly a top five movie of 2023…
It was about as likely as a Mad Max movie winning a bunch of Oscars. Go figure.
Detractors now: 😱
@@Howlingburd19 it was a top one movie, 2023 was shit until this movie popped up.
@@EarthshakerOnamazu Apparently Oppenheimer isn't real
Take notes Hollywood that’s how you make a Godzilla movie
Isn't Godzilla always supposed to be serious sometimes and goofy
@@user-ee3kr8et3xbeing goofy is japanese speciality bro, in light novel there is no where written Godzilla to be goofy
@@user-ee3kr8et3x I’d rather see Godzilla more serious although icl 2014 Godzilla was amazing but the kong vs Godzilla one was a bit meh especially when Godzilla starts laughing
this is what they are doing making Godzilla look like the 1970s look they where not trying to make it look like today they wanted old school Godzilla now this is more like the way Godzilla use to be more style in the making like this
What's so great about it?
I love how now everytime universal releases a Godzilla movie they're like "he's a hero", and immediately after Toho is like "nah it's not" it's such a great dichotomy because they're almost always phenomenal back to back releases that allow you to see both how much of a saving force or absolute nightmare Godzilla can be
Godzilla has always been one thing, an absolute force of nature.
Later iterations, he was more or less a hero, which is essentially what Universal is working from. However, there was always movies where he simply "was". as the guy above me points out, he was always a force of nature so to speak.
@@BlindIdiotGOTI prefer it that way where he is intelligent of course but not necessarily bad or good kinda like Mother Nature
@@connordutton674 agreed. As a kid I didn't understand it, but as an adult I appreciate the subjective nature of it all. Humans never knew if he was gonna be on their side or not, so most stories started off with the military attacking any of the monsters that showed their face, including him.
And that’s what makes it really interesting. Because no matter how many version of godzilla they make, no matter how many times they make a movie outta him, it always works and vrings out an exciting blockbuster film. Godzilla always brings taht presence of a badass kaiju.
Just walked out of the theater. This is easily one of my favorite Godzilla movies. It really brought Godzilla back to its roots and captured the spirit of the original while being fresh. 12/10.
Where will this be available?
@@The_One_-_so hes supposed to live the rest of his life in theatres??
@@The_One_-_because the movie ended???? you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
@@The_One_-_yea I remember being so engrossed by a film that I spent the rest of my life in the movie theater 😭😭
chill folks, it was meant as a joke. if you've ever read reviews about movies by guys like lars von trier or gaspar noé, you would know what it means when it says that people walked out of the theater.
A total fucking banger of a movie. I didn't know the Japanese could go so hard in a movie. Brought me to tears. Absolutely and totally brilliant.
They just don't have enough money lol.
@@wasdwasdwasdwasd-lt7cqwell this movie proves you don’t need that much money to make a masterpiece of a product
Lol than you probably dont know what animes are ... japanese excels in everything
This is not "one of the best Godzilla movies." This is the best Godzilla movie, period.
Yup
Godzilla 2014 is my favorite only because it makes him feel like such a large creature, plus the way he's connected to our history (connecting him to the bomb test in the 50's)
I would have to agree with the comment above me
Better than Shin?
@MurdocBox48 that's why real Japanese godzilla is way better than American. "Bomb tests in the 50s" bro godzilla is and always has been a metaphor for the atomic bombs that hit Japan.
I love the fact that they HAVEN'T fully showed us his atomic breath just yet(excluding the underwater shot). Just that shot of the dorsal plates pushing up out of his spine in preparation for it was enough to send chills down my spine, man. Can't wait to see this movie.
I know right, They are really keeping us anticipating. We already know for sure that his atomic breath is incredibly powerful.
This movie is coming in hindi or english ?
@@manishkanwar3165English
I think he just needs a hug.😢
It feels like it's explosive, like the plates moving are pulling control rods out of a reactor until it blows
I love this Godzilla's design. It's faithful to the original Godzilla design, and his face and eyes are just full of blind rage. I love it.
It looks more like the 90’s Godzilla but a modernized, scarier version, he is the same size as the original ’54 version and the spikes remind me of the ’54 Godzilla.
@@evanmaldonado9799 Yeah, to me it is like a mix of Heisei Godzilla and Legendary.
Well it makes sense considering this supposed to be the original Godzilla....
@@evanmaldonado9799 hey man this was an awesome movie I just saw it tonight here in Florida it's raining heavily there weren't nobody in the movie theater but me and two girls and they both were crying halfway through it this was an excellent movie drama Heart Break tear all that no Hollywood crap people running around cussing acting a fool no half naked women none of the usual Hollywood garbage this look believable they did an excellent job of this movie I will be going to see it again tomorrow I'm bringing people with me
I like how his dorsal plates are kinda “spiky” in appearance :)
One of the best movies I’ve seen in years. Period. 10/10
Godzilla Minus One might win best visual effects at the Oscar awards
as a foreign movie.... Americe only give prices to themselves, the outside productions are limited to receive honors
It did
Give this film an Oscar. It's a phenomenal film that effortlessly blends modern action with the feel and spirit of the originals.The human storytelling is what helps set this film apart from so many others.
Human storytelling is a great description. It almost feels like simply a story about people in post-WWII Japan... that also happens to have a giant monster to fight (I mean this in a good way).
hopefully it will be campaigned heavily.. because you know hollywood and old bastards
That's saying a lot. It was the humans in the past kaiju films that I always thought got in the way of seeing more cool kaiju stuff.
I agree 100%. Didn't expect much from this but thought it would be a fun romp. Ended up being the best movie I've seen in ages. Can't believe how good this was. From writing to direction to action. They actually made you care about the people and took the story seriously.
I hope it makes lots of money. 'Oscars' are worthless. The event even more.
The way he's charging up was unexpected 🤯🤯 Correct me if I'm wrong I just noticed while watching it in slow motion it looks like his dorsal plates gets in again when he fires and gets out while charging
His atomic breath is gonna be powerful
its very interesting how this gman dorsal playes extend before he fires... hope he has more then just his atomic beam tho. not as OP as shin. but just other defenses like a wave.
It's like his spines are control rods or something
Yeah
his dorsal extended to to charge his atomic breath really make sense like a control rod on a atomic power plant, this movie gonna be epic
Dude. Just saw it in black and white today and it was mind blowing. Story? Check. Action? Check. Everything you could ask for in a Godzilla movie was in this film! The film being in black and white really put me in the era the story takes place in- also, it made Godzilla more terrifying. I HIGHLY recommend this film- trust me, you will not be disappointed 😊
I had such high expectations and they were completely blown away. What a masterpiece. I want to see it again, in theatres. I haven’t felt that way about a film in *years*!
I don't care how many Godzilla movies they make, I'm going to see them all! 🙌🏻
You and MILLIONS of others, like me!
i just love watching huge monster on big screen lol
I grew up with Godzilla. I own every film in the franchise (with the exception of the anime trilogy) and just can’t seem tk get enough of the franchise. I have seen several Godzilla movies in theaters as well and it has been such a fun experience. Makes me excited for not only Minus One but New Empire as well.
@@jw_gojifan19 that's sick, I have never have like a DVD/Blu-ray player since now with the PS5, but due to lack of space in my apartment, it wouldn't be a good idea to have any collections of discs, but I have seen them all in theaters and I have never miss one. Godzilla fans united! 🙌🏻
Three godzilal things coming out . Monarch legacy of monsters tomorrow!!!!! And Godzilla minus on in a few weeks and then a godzilla x kong movie 8n 2024
This is beyond the definition of epic. Looks like we will be honored to witness the best Godzilla movie ever made.
Will be this or Shin, for sure
Shin for now
@@codysmith66 no it isn’t???
The best looking Godzilla was the airport scene in 2014. That was the most detailed Godzilla I have ever seen in a Godzilla movie. It must of took months to create that one scene. The lighting and detail was better in that one scene than all other movies afterwards.
@@benjy117that was the best iteration of the Legendary godzilla. This godzilla is not made by that studio, so we really can’t compare then
Oscar winner Godzilla!
I never thought I’d see a Godzilla movie win an Oscar! And it’s so well deserved!! Congrats again, I patiently await the physical release
The CGI is insanely good 😮😮 and the roar is kinda different, so powerful and majestic
It's the original 1954 roar. The only roar that sounds better is the 1984 roar.
That's why i need to go seing this on the theater 😂😂, imagine the roar in the whole studio.
Yeah
it looks good, but i still prefer the Roar sound in other Film
It's not the best CGI - but they did a great job
Saw it last night...probably the best Godzilla movie of all time! See it in a theater with a huge, loud sound system, you need to feel the thundering roars and atomic blasts of Godzilla!
Seeing it in the big IMAX theater was one of the smartest things I’ve ever done! Everyone in my theater was clapping when the credits started rolling, myself included :)
Is it all in foreign language?
@@Donni-Perianno It's in Japanese with English subtitles.
Agree 10000%. I've been watching Godzilla movies since the late 80s. This is the best one in my opinion. The sound design alone was phenomenal!
Watched it in imax it was incredibly loud and amazing
Came here after the Oscar. Well deserved win by Godzilla Minus One.
i dragged my girlfriend to see this and she said it was one of the best things she’s ever watched
Stunning.Taking Godzilla back to his roots as a metaphor for post war grief, guilt and anxiety in Japan was such a refreshing take on the big guy. They paralleled Godzilla's destruction so well with the main character's story. And the metaphor for grief and anxiety still "bubbling just below the surface" in the final moments was brilliant.
Can't agree more!
😮
spoiler aler. . .oh. . .too late.
They shall soon know that their guilt was unwarranted.
Nothing was spoiled lmao, grow up@@macandbern
You do not need to be a Godzilla fan to realize that this movie is an artistic masterpiece. My buddy talked me into seeing this and it is fantastic!
Absolutely pure genius. Greatest movie ever or will ever be made in this universe or any other universe 🤣
Your buddy’s got great taste
You already watched it? Why is it saying "this December" (November29)?
Where were you able to see it ? In Japan?
@@kamu747at the end of the trailer it said “early access fan event nov 29
This is not just the Best Godzilla movie ever made but it is one of the best movies of the decade imo. I hope to see it win oscar & do well all over the world.
Anyone here after it one won the Oscar for visual effects? The budget on this movie was insane for the crazy amount of visual effects they did. 100% deserved, no contest. 👏👏👏
Perfect 10. If you grew up watching Godzilla movies don’t walk-run to the theater to see this masterpiece. Rarely does a movie capture emotional drama, action, and nostalgia all so perfectly. Brilliantly written, superbly acted, and absolute masterpiece. Couldn’t have loved it anymore. Best film I’ve seen in years. Can’t wait to see it again.
Think you meant do run-walk lol
Just saw it, amazing movie and quite emotional too
It Absolutely Blew My Socks Off On IMAX. Brilliant!
You are right about it is also the best movie in years simply.
That's quite the review
It's cool to see Japan reclaim Godzilla and outdo what American production companies have done for quite some time. You can tell there's love behind this movie.
Forsure!
Yea America is to busy making him superhero.
@@Wolf10media That's the reason why i liked more the 2016 japanese movie despite the loew budget than whatever the hell the monsterverse movies are supposed to be. Now with Kong they're turning that shit into some marvel crap for kaijus.. it's so cringe.
I mean they did that already 2016 with Shin Godzilla... which was directed by the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion. But you should also note that this is the 33rd Godzilla and especially the American one from 2014 is superior to the vast majority of these too.
For real
Well done at the Oscars VFX team of Godzilla Minus One
The highest score ever on Rotten Tomatoes. Seeing a movie made isolated from the Hollywood "rules" was so refreshing. A young man, a young woman, and a baby, lost everyone and everything they knew at the end of World War II. Could they somehow build a life from the total destruction that was Japan in late 1945. A thrilling, and engaging movie that contains absolutely no “Bad Guys”. Just a very difficult situation, and then Godzilla shows up. It's a period piece, it's a love story, an anti-war movie, personal conflicts in high stress environmens. Don't worry, there's PLENTY of Godzilla squishing things, and being a major nuisance. A terrific film on every level. I'm so glad I went to a real theater to see it. Each Godzilla movie attempts to improve upon Godzilla's heat ray. Godzilla Minus One does not disappoint. Whether you're a Godzilla fan or not, you WILL like this movie.
I agree with you 100% Hollywood is lame and lost it was refreshing like you say to see a movie where there's no cussing nobody acting a fool you know it's it was just a good dramatic well-made movie with no idiots running around cussing girl half naked you know all the stupid crap that Hollywood is known for cuz Hollywood has gone down a toilet oh I'd say what 50 years ago when it started swirling now it's finally flushed yeah that's Hollywood they don't make any good movies or shows well anyway enough about them this was an excellent movie and I will be watching it again I agree with you 100%
This was easily one of the best new movies I've seen in 20 years. It was like Godzilla mixed with saving Private Ryan and Titanic all-in-one ball of perfection. Someone said on Facebook that it was as good as the original Jaws so at 10:30 in the morning I put it on my phone on one of the pirate sites just so I can laugh at the comparison but holy shit. I almost feel like there's no possible way a fucking monster movie could be this good but it was.
At least Rotten Tomatoes isn't obsolete
What's more refreshing is what can now be done on a low budget. Hollywood has so many rules party because of how much money is invested. They might loosen the reigns if they instead made more sub $30 million movies with great storytellers and hope some explode than putting so many eggs in a $300 million movie that people got tired of.
Thankfully Japan doesn't "make it lame and gay" like Hollywood does with every movie now
Now THIS is how you do a trailer. Show some intense scenes but not all of them and definitely don't spoil the whole movie as well
Exactly! I was thinking the same. They showed most of the old shit just more intense and slightly more and only showed a couple new things not much but was still excited for what's next. The movie going to be good
i'm pretty sure they still showed the entire plot
@@SoiSomething Yes. Showa, Heisei, Millennium, Shin, Anime trilogy and Singular Point. Every franchise have their own plot. Where were you at?
I wish Hollywood would take notes
@@360.Tapestry doubt it
It is a pity that the movie is not getting released in many countries.
The way the spines thrust inward when he fires the breath really adds to the feeling of weight behind the blast, even though we never see the beam nor the damage it causes To clear up some confusion, no I do not mean 'outward'. There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where the spines quickly move back into their original position in his back, followed by his atomic blast. Imagine it as Godzilla pulling a trigger
I agree, but the kinda annoying thing is how quickly he moves his body when he's about to fire his beam. Felt a bit unrealistic but ignoring that I love it
@@bluedragon38 Tbh the animation is kinda bad, he moves like a human with no weight behind his movements.
@@buiselbuisel8 atleast not as fast as legendary goji
@@DeadfriendsxGaming he meant in the couple of frames you can see after the charge-up. it shows goji shooting off the beam
@@bluedragon38that could be an editing thing, they probably sped up that part for the trailer
The difference in speed of being thrown vs falling is phenomenal. Those train and boat throw shots really get the point across of how powerful Gojira really is. Can't wait!
I feel with this film everything was taken in a more realistic approach on how a Kaiju of this size will react with certain things. Something we haven't really gotten much of in other Godzilla films.

@@CelticBarb Gojira is the correct name for him in Japanese/Japanese Romanji Iirc, Godzilla is the american/english version for him.
@@visacard4921Gojira is how Japanese people pronounce Godzilla. Same thing
fantastic physics, this will be first movie in years i will go watch in the cinema
I don't know how they did it, but this movie was awesome. Good story, Good characters, great themes. Probably the best movie of its kind.
Idk about God characters but yes
Kind? I sense a hint of discrimination and prejjudice here
The only giant monster that still makes people crowded at the cinema entrance. Can’t wait to see it ❤❤
It has been a while since I've been excited to see a film but dear God... This makes me feel like a kid again. Everything looks so well balanced but those shots of the post destruction and the camera angles are amazing. Thank you TOHO so much!
….Zilla. *rimshot*
Been a fan since I was a kid as well.
Take note, even the producer of 2014 Godzilla openly admitted that he was jealous of this Godzilla movie. That's how good it's going to be, a runner up for the best Godzilla ever. 🙌
Oh, man is this hitting theaters in the U.S? If not than Japan going to get themselves one of best Godzilla movie ever. 2014 was god but this look even better.
the producer of this movie said that he was taking inspiration from 2014
This looks like it could be in the neighborhood of the original Gojira, THAT will always and forever be the greatest G movie ever made for me.
@@chelsearunyanDecember 1st
Exactly we can’t deny it man. This makes American-toho producers of godzilla look budget 😅
Just watched it, and it was great. I'm a huge fan of Godzilla, and to me, this is the best Godzilla movie ever. This is what a Godzilla supposed to be, not the nonsense produced by Hollywood.
Best Godzilla movie ever
The fact that the budget was less than $15 million USD, and the film was still fantastic is a testament to the storytelling and the team behind this project! A fantastic Godzilla flick. It's crazy how many Godzilla films there have been, yet they can still make an iteration that feels fresh and is done just right. 💥
Well said!
storytelling was basic as fuck lol. The visuals were amazing for that price though.
@@walkdeep Tl;dr - I disagree about basic storytelling. Found family, PTSD, redemption, and characters finding meaning in life and how to live after trauma are not basic storytelling elements that you would expect to ever see in a Godzilla film of all things. Now, Legendary Godzilla (2014+2021) those were basic storytelling. A WWII AWOL kamikaze pilot (an insanely massive deal for imperial Japan era to desert) dealing with personal PTSD escapes to home and becomes an orphan. Then finds two other orphans from the war to form found family and it becomes his redemption in life. Only after the pain of losing this found family (initially) he finally realizes the weight of how the soldiers that he let die that day felt before their deaths. All of this with Godzilla serving as a parallel catalyst of trauma that keeps him from moving forward from the war. He keeps running away and hides it from both Noriko and his friends until both of these grow and follow him years later until he finally has to face and defeat them both. That's a crazy plotline for what everyone expects from a simple big monster film. Basic storytelling would be the Legendary Godzilla films (2014+2021) where it was literally just, "Oh shit, the titans woke up, now let them fight!" And that's it. Absolutely no one cared for the human plot line lol. Minus Zero is one of the few or really only Godzilla/monster flick stories where the majority of people have been saying that they actually cared about the human plotline for once. That means the storytelling had enough depth for people to become invested. Both positively from film Critics and general audiences alike. It was good enough to be its own separate war/tragedy movie if they really wanted to if you just swapped Godzilla out for something more realistic.
@@BboyEasySteps he found 2 orphans so randomly. And they just start living together. So unrealistic. He should realize by the end that him shooting the 10mm didn't make a diff. Nothing barely hurts godzilla. If anything that saved his life. I didn't go in as a godzilla fan so idk how low the bar is for godzilla movies. But the plot felt very predictable. Why would a failed kamikaze pilot with no combat exp be the guy to pilot against godzilla. You'd think japan wants their best retired pilot. Why does he want that random mechanic to fix the plane. Godzilla fight was predictable.
@@walkdeep they are in post war time so find some orphan and adopt them is not that surprising, and he is a soldier as well
Even just in the trailer, I think it's the first time I feel so much emotion and empathy for the hundred of faces dying one after another looking at Godzilla raging on. I think because of the time-setting notably, the directing of this movie will make it one of the most emotional Godzilla movies ever made.
And actual focus on human characters and good acting. In most Godzilla movies either actors are bad, or we don't see people killed at all. It's just machines taken out.
Have you seen the original Godzilla? This is aiming to capture the emotion in that one
I wouldn’t go that far.
Perfectly stated
Exactly. In most movies minor characters death isn't solidified but here I do feel for the citizens.
Now an Oscar winner
Just won oscar for best visual effects
I went to the theater to see this today, expecting to have a good time.... Did not expect to cry halfway through and think about how much my family and friends mean to me, and what I'd do to save them.

I would like to inform Ghibli movie fans that Ryunosuke Kamiki, who plays the main character in this movie, once voiced Yubaba's son (a big baby) in "Spirited Away" when he was a child. He also voiced the main character Taki in Makoto Shinkai's "Kimi no na wa" (Your Name). He is a very famous actor and voice actor in Japan since he was a child actor.
Wait wait what??! When I was watching the film, I felt like he was a voice actor just by the way he spoke! XD I didn’t think he actually was, and to be the voice actor of Taki! :o
ジブリでは他にも「ハウルの動く城」「借りぐらしのアリエッティ」に出演されてます
he's very talented!
If THIS doesn’t take home the Oscar, I have officially lost hope for everything. We need this to win the Oscar.
They actually won an award
35 person vfx crew movie done in 8 months… these big studios could never bruh
The fact that it only got nominated for one Oscar is a total joke. You don’t even need to be a Godzilla fan to understand this is a top five movie of 2023
Not worth, looks like moving lizatd toy, only good in trailer

I didn't know there was a godzilla film in cinemas... I was with my kid at the mall and stop by to see what was new in the movies; we just chose the one that was about to start.... Man!!! THE BEST GODZILLA MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN; and it's not only about Godzilla, all aspects PERFECT.
I stand in awe of what the visual effects team is able to do with only a fraction of the budget for an ordinary Marvel or DC film. It reflects the amount of effort and love put into this production.
The director did all the visual effects
Japanese, afterall
It's called being resourceful. These people are utilizing the commercially available VFX software techs at home, rather than hiring multi-million dollar VFX companies such as Weta, ILM, MPC etc. This is one aspect that's very overlooked but Japan has a very mature VFX industry in the entertainment sector in the region. It may not be the most state-of-the-art quality but it's still good enough to the given average production budget and unlike the average A-list Hollywood production, Japanese or other Asian movie VFX productions tend to be more cost effective in that regard.
Yeah… without all the money launderings and stuff
*Visual effects guy, FTFY
Amazing film. It’s beyond a Godzilla movie. It’s a movie about resiliency, survivor’s guilt, love, and redemption. Best film of the year. Yep.
Highly agree with your opinion!!
Wow I’m so excited to see it in theaters this weekend!
@@seattlelife2086 Great minds think alike! Glad ya enjoyed the flick. 😎
@@aben8192 Enjoy! I was kinda surprised how good it was.
I had no idea Godzilla felt this way! I'm so excited. TY
That roar and showing dominance scares me. I love Godzilla way back then.
My wife and I know basically nothing about Godzilla, but this (Minus Color) was the only movie on during the time window we had to go on a date, and we absolutely loved it! What a great film with a great theme.
The way this Godzilla is animated looks pretty unique. Usually he’s big and slow but in this movie there’s such intense violence behind every action he does
well said
@@JokeswithMitochondria hey man i got curious about ur username so decided to check out ur channel. Wasn't disappointed lmao
@@sterlingarcher8041 oh damn your right
i think the cgi looks kinda unnatural honestly with how he moves, i hope they at least used some form of motion tracking like for shin.
Animation look bad and fake when he suddenly moves so fast.
These dorsal spines look incredibly aggressive and really fit the overall design and attitude of Godzilla here, the way they come out the same way control rods would come out of a reactor allowing for nuclear fission to resume(and in doing so the atomic breath), a good reminder of the original message Godzilla was meant to carry. This is the best timeline, on one hand you can watch the Legendary movies with the Monsterverse and on the other you can go back to the roots of Godzilla itself and watch some OG Toho content for it.
Yeah i'm so glad that my parents born me in this century.

American here, just got to seeing this masterpiece and wow.. as a Goji fan since my childhood I could not have asked for a better take from the fathers of the franchise. Simply and utterly perfection in every sense of the word. Literally can't bring myself to watch the hollywood slop after this. I really hope we get more from Toho even if it's not a minus one sequel, Shin and now this? We need a monsterverse from you
I can't believe this level of quality was made on a $15 million budget.
The design on Godzilla here is tremendous. And that final shot with him presumably about to wipe out a whole street full of people with an atomic blast is so terrifying, and something we really haven't seen him do in any other films. I hope hes just a force of nature in this.
It’s a wonderful combo I feel of 1954 Goji with a lot of the 90s Heisei mixed in. Glorious!
Yeah, i don't remember a straight up beam through a crowd of people which would be insanely impactful and horrible. However in Shin his flamethrower before the beam just floods the streets, buildings, etc. i got he same feel of destruction with that sequence but i see what you mean, that would be horrific.
Yes, the retro look with modern effects looks amazing. Honoring what came before while updating the movie with effects the original team could only dream of. With so many Hollywood movies destroying legacies, I have hope that the people behind this movie are out to do it right.
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 Godzilla straight up smoked your God in Godzilla in Hell #3. Foh.
honestly hope they show him just wipe out everyone with the atomic blast, I feel seeing it be more chilling just seeing everyone turn to ash in matters of seconds.
This looks absolutely fantastic. You can just feel the power and anger in Godzilla and the disheartening fear and helplessness in the humans. Wow.
This trailer delivers and I'm sold...can't wait to see this movie. Godzilla actually looks scary the way he's tearing up the city and chasing boats

This is the Godzilla I've been waiting for: an entirely new concept while keeping faith to the 1953 "Gojira" original. What makes this one a standout is that it is a character driven drama that weaves some actual historical elements to give it a believabiltiy absent in previous Godzilla films. I was actually drawn to this well-paced story with the monster appearing and disappearing at the right moments--never dominating the screen time while allowing its human characters to flourish. The finale made my youngest son and me weep--something that I've never done in any Godzilla film. Kudos to Toho Studios on the 70th anniversary of what is perhaps the greatest mythological monster in cinematic history...
1953?
@@figuregaming3872 Correction: 1954. This was the version before the Americanized version with Raymond Burr from 1956. The restored version of the 1954 film is much better and edits out all the American scenes of 1956. Thank you for pointing out the mis-type...
I'm glad they used the old roar. Visual effects are gold.
Just came back from the theatre to watch it (in Japan)! It was absolutely amazing! The graphics were stunning, the action satisfying, the plot very intriguing. The story is also centered around the main character and his journey, which gave it another taste from other Godzilla films like Shin Godzilla. The setting of post-war Japan was also very interesting to dive into and how post-war trauma affects the characters and their motivations. Overall an incredible film. Don't miss it when it airs in other countries.
Thank you for clarifying you watched it in Japan, my first thought was 'OH MY GOD IT'S OUT?!?' XD
@@metaloverlord7465 lol yeah it's not out anywhere else but it came out today in Japan 🤣
So the setting is in 1950s? Because their clothes look from that time period
@@maggied9918 it's set in late 1940s
I don't know if it is coming to Cyprus? Hope I get some information about it.
I'm so glad that with Minus One we're kinda going back to the og roots, I appreciate how Godzilla has been a hero and an anti-hero, but he started as a villain, a metaphor of the human sins, and honestly, he feels more genuine that way
I feel like godzilla was more of a force of nature, he was never really a villain more of an animal, the only mocie where I feel like godzilla was truly a villain was in GMM because Godzilla was possessed by the Japanese soldiers who died in ww2 and wanted to punish Japan and godzilla was basically a ghost not a living thing
@@juniorsigala5028pretty much what I was gonna say.
How will they stop him before masers have been invented?
@@juniorsigala5028 how is he a force of nature when he was created by the testing of nuclear weapons? like how do you make a metaphor more clear than that dude
@@juniorsigala5028you mean GMK?
A guy burst into tears next to me in the theater during a scene where someone was crying (if you know you know). 10/10.
the best ever godzila movie :)
The thing I most appreciate is the sense of scale these shots present. And just as much, I appreciate the fact that hardly anything is happening at night. So many American-made films get obstructed by darkness and it takes away from the scene. All of these shots are of Godzilla in plain daylight.
Keep Godzilla away from American crappy Godzilla films.
I think that’s why I loved the 2014 film they added more scale and everything was shot as if you were at San Francisco seeing it happen
@@jazzdub4958 The recent films was good idk what you on about.
@@lessronishere7540 There was nothing good about Godzilla King of the Monsters or Godzilla 2014. If you don't know what I'm on about - it's your failure being a Disney Marvel fanboy.
@@ghost.3579 It was still mostly boring, long and incorrectly paced with lame human characters.

Hell yeah man! I can't wait to watch this!

@@WarrenGdog28 This isn’t about the Monstervese right now. Us Toho fans have been waiting since 2016 for another live action Godzilla film.
Guys, I just came from the cinema... and I'm absolutely thrilled 🤯!!!! That was the best Godzilla I've ever seen 😱. I haven't had such an impressive cinema experience in a long time😭. My heart is still pumping with excitement.
Minus One was one of few movies to get me to go to the theater multiple times for one thing and one thing only.
This movie is not about Gozzilla, the monster, but about human pain and suffering. It's a horrifying allegory that is captured and narrated in artistic perfection. Truly touching
Every Godzilla movie people say this, sometimes we just need to accept people just want to see a well written movie about a giant monster demolishing everything, even if there is a deeper underlying message.
If i watch this movie with my grandchilderen, i'll tell them this is a christmass movie.
@@goliathmiredian5496I watched this today, I feel my Christmas is complete!! Omg what an amazing film. You can’t spell Godzilla without god in this version!
@@geisonmcd lmao, aint gonna lie i definitely don't want my giant kaiju destroying shit movie to be about the humans and human problems. or else id go watch a not kaiju movie. or read a novel.
@@goliathmiredian5496 its not?
This is absolutely horrific, and I LOVE IT. The concept of Godzilla alone is frightening, bringing it to this level is so much better than I could’ve imagine because he’s just so big and imposing in this iteration. And his eyes and face being so expressive is honestly even more terrifying lol, like he’s conscious of the destruction he causes and how utterly helpless we are as humans compared to him.
In that one scene with the building when he swings his tail looks like he's tryin to kill everyone.
@@mentaltelepathy24 I assume he is just trying to kill everyone this time around. I’ve seen basically all the promo for this movie and Godzilla genuinely comes off as an absolute force of nature. I truly don’t know how the humans are going to attempt to defeat him unless there’s another kaiju in this movie we haven’t seen yet or something. But I absolutely cannot wait to see this movie.
He is actually pretty small in this iteration, terrifying none the less though, as someone pointed out it makes his carnage and rampage much more personal
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. This doesn’t look like some creature just being a creature. This thing *knows* what it’s doing.
Godzilla *SHOULD* BE ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING, THATS THE ONLY REALSTIC REACTION TO SEEING IT
The winner of visual effect😊 in oscar 2024
Long Live The King, Godzilla!!!Congratulations on the oscar!!!
The amount of emotion and nuance you get just from the trailers is astounding… I am genuinely excited for this film
this is how trailers are made, you get just enough but not to much.
I love that they’re actually using the original 1954 roar for this one! Really shows that they’re doing their best to honor the spirit of the very first Godzilla movie. Can’t wait to see this, hopefully December isn’t just an American release, but a worldwide one as well.
IMO the '54 roar is the best roar. It is powerful, and terrifying. Matched this incarnation of Godzilla perfectly.
this released in Japan TODAY (03 Nov). No subtitles in the theaters around me but i will be going soon to get this viewed
December 15th for uk
1:06 That one sounds like the one from Godzilla 1985. It has some what of a deep guttural growl to it.
Not really that surprising since Toho uses the same roar for every one of their Godzilla iterations.
I wish it had been in the theatre in Canada longer. They deserved that Oscar they got tonight!
Yes! Godzilla Minus One winning an Oscar brought me back here!😄👏👏
This movie is phenomenal. Outstanding story, acting, & remake of 1954. Go see it. (I've heard it's only showing in America for two weeks) Also wait until the end of the credits rolling on the screen before you leave the theater. Toho, you raised the bar super high on this one & thank you for giving us old hard core Godzilla fans what we've been waiting for, for many years. I grew up in the 70's a huge Godzilla fan. This is the best by far that I have seen.
Niiiice so glad to hear. Gonna see it asap
It's coming to the UK soon, can't wait to go see it!
What’s after the rolling credits? I didn’t see any post credit updates or visuals
@@durzoblint415 it's just a godzilla roar. No scene
I took my 23 year old son and my 13 year old granddaughter. We all loved it! My granddaughter was so into the movie that she barely ate her popcorn and snacks! 😂 I've been a Godzilla fan for over 40 years, and this movie brought up the old-school vibes from its debut and Godzilla 1985. I'm definitely seeing it again.

It’s gona be a good change to finally get a movie worth watching. The new American godzilla movies are dog shit Edit: calm down Americans, just cause I called your shitty movies with dog water scripts and story telling bad doesn't mean you need to get angry, just remember its my opinion.
Just saw it last night in theater. What a great time we had. The sound design is just as awesome as the visual effects. The blast of the Ginza attack was incredible on a big screen

where?
@@ytgamerproboyAt an AMC in Phoenix
Ive seen countless movies and this is easily my favorite film by far. Im very critical on films and this was a masterpiece

I’m 68 & have been watching Godzilla for YEARS! Much respect to the people at TOHO for continuing the saga. (I will not watch any other.). TOHO is the original & the best!
L take really
This is top 20 movies I've ever seen. This is a great movie start to finish.
Congratulations for the award. Finally proper godzilla adaptation
The way you see him punch the battleship, then the ship shooting back with its guns, it just makes you see that even though the ship is more than likely doomed, the people still keep fighting back. Such a tragic yet powerful scene.
It was a cruiser I believe, a Takao class, most of the IJN Battleships are either destroyed or confiscated by the US Be interesting what kind of punch a Battleship would do to Godzilla tho
The Japanese don't back down 🗿
@@entermusic93except when they get hit with 2 nukes.
@@mineralwater6736 well about that....there were many in the army (particularly in China) and navy still willing to fight to the bitter end even after the nukes. the only reason they didn't is because the emperor told them to stop
I think you’re reading too much into it 😂
It feels so well balanced between the "human element" and the monster scenes. All monster scenes look terrifying. And none of the scenes with people in it look dull. Literally everyone you see on screen is delivering a great performance. This is going to be great. ALSO: Massive shoutout to the cinematography. Every single shot looks impeccable.
Cmon bro the trailer is obviously balanced between human and monster scenes, but the movie is gonna be a different thing altogether
Agreed
Shin Godzilla is more like logic movie compared to this movie
Hi
imho do how america did the classic and modern war of the worlds. classic on the scientist/government point of view and modern more on civilians surviving point of view.
Just saw the film in Black and White and found it awesome! Congrats, Toho!
Gonna say it, this is the best Godzilla film ever released
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am OVERJOYED that we can have both kinds of Godzilla. The destructive Earth-defender Godzilla, and the nightmarish terror-monster Godzilla. The kid in me has always loved both for different reasons.
I personally have always preferred an evil Godzilla, like the one seen in GMK. But hero Godzilla is fun, too
This guy gets it. Both is good.
@@theinternetsightseer2935Que Road to Eldorado meme: Both. Both is good.
Makes the God part of his name more fitting, we don't know bros goal but he definitely has one, Godzilla works in mysterious ways.
Either way. Giant monsters of Godzilla's class are not monsters. They are forces of mother nature herself. So big that no man made weapon can push back.
1:40 Woah , Toho is kiiing it with this film Happy Gojira Day fam .
One talented cast. One creative director. One big domination at the box office. One big rating from the critics. One big Oscar nomination. One epic movie. *AND ONE BADASS KING OF THE MONSTERS.* 👑
Congratulations to this amazing movie and its amazing team. May this franchise continue to bring out masterpieces like this and Shin Godzilla for years to come. I’ve never been happier as a Godzilla fan!
I think one of the best things this movie does is to scale Godzilla down so that its interaction with humans is much more organic. He's big enough to obviously be a threat to the city but is "small" enough that humans can fight it to a certain effective degree. I think that makes the concept of this Godzilla very exciting
Been saying this for years. Having monsters like Godzilla within the 170 foot/50 meter scale is just so much more effective for drama or action. Godzilla passing the 100 meter range just starts to become unwieldy.
I can see where you both are coming from but for me I just love when monsters are so huge you can only see it’s leg. The rest is above the clouds. That’s just so crazy and freaks me out
50 M feels personal, big yet small. It gives human a false sense of hope beating godzilla when in reality godzilla is unstoppable and size doesnt matter.
But they make up for it with probably with his strongest breathe attack yet! It is a freaking nuke itself!
@Nedziller yet this godzilla seems stronger and more destructive while the giant skyscraper versions of the American films of late have been pretty nerfed. Always getting wrecked and needs help to overcome his challenge. The part that pissed me off recently. So at that point what is the point in being so huge if it's not unstoppable? I'd rather this smaller godzilla that is wrecking everything. This godzilla looks like he would actually offer a real challenge to Kong. Not like the wimp we got lately
Even just a trailer hits hard. I can only imagine how brutal the full movie is.
