Whereas Godzilla Minus One is getting much-deserved consideration, and as I really like each current Japanese Godzilla films, I’ve to say that this one barely edges out Minus One for me due to its unconventional presentation and extra lore. I felt it was immensely recent to strategy the film from a “political red tape” angle, even when it could be too talky for some viewers. The film made Godzilla scary once more, and whereas I personally am not one to take pleasure in expanded universe content material outdoors of movies themselves, the lore and the idea that I discovered surrounding the very existence of Godzilla on this film (which additionally explains that haunting final shot) have been simply so mind-blowingly inventive for me.
