1. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

2. "The last Godzilla movie I saw was the one with John Cusack." That movie is One Crazy Summer, and Godzilla was played by Bobcat Goldthwait.

3. "You could make this movie without Godzilla."

   Every effective film is about characters tooling through a challenge. Godzilla, aliens, spaceships, the big game, the dance competition, etc etc etc … that's all setting. The characters are the story.

4. watched this with the GF the nite before our trip to Japan. Seemed appropo. Def best Godzilla movie I've seen

5. "What good would that gun done to Godzilla?"
   Well, sure, but the characters don't know they are in a Godzilla movie. 😉

6. These might be the best train brakes in movie history

7. 22:27 that shot is surreal bro

8. 21:13 at this point I'd just jump in the water and pray my sacrifice is enough
   22:05 and at this point it was the Law & Order Rule, too much time left for this to be the job to be finished lmao but i didnt know godzilla could regenerate that fast. I need to go back and see him in his prime

9. 30 seconds in yall are sarcastically saying I love this movie nd then 2 minutes later it's like okay this is really good 😂😂😂

10. 34:10 no, friends. Its about How fast they would sink Godzilla. The quick pressure variation would bê extreme. Even worse in reversal to the Surface.

11. “Godzilla doesn’t even have to be in it”

    YES! I’ve said it since I first saw it. The Western Godzilla is a monster that supplements a subpar plot and so the movie can only ever be so good. But this one right here, this Godzilla supplements an incredible plot and so it elevates the movie so much more.

    We need more studios building good stories and using Godzilla to supplement that story, not building a story for the simple sake of showing Godzilla at some point. When the story is solid, a meager 10 Mil budget and some substandard CGI (in some scenes) are entirely overlooked. Instead we have 100 mil Godzilla movies that are only as good as the 20 minute period we see the monsters in.

12. Don’t make me 😅(best movie ever)

13. * Amazing that Godzilla Minus One (2023) was made for under $12 million — just 1/13 of the budget of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024).

    The American Monsterverse Godzilla is like a juicy hamburger while the recent Japanese Toho Godzilla is like a gourmet steak — both are “delicious” depending on your mood.

    * The latest American “MonsterVerse” Godzilla movies were full of CGI “eye candies,” and did not require me to think very hard.

    In licensed “monster” movies such as Godzilla vs Kong (2021) and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024), I just “kicked back” and enjoyed the CGI spectacles.

    More importantly, these two big-budget (over 130 million USD each) “popcorn flicks” were hugely profitable globally. This contractually restricts when and where the Japanese Toho could release or stream its Godzilla movies.

    * The latest Japanese “Toho” Godzilla movies were allegories of Japan’s traumas, which required me to think deeply.

    In Shin Godzilla (2016), the bureaucratic Japanese government failed to address the 2011 (rapidly “evolving”) triple disasters of earthquake -> then tsunami -> then nuclear plant meltdown using an “evolving” Godzilla as an allegory.

    In Godzilla Minus One (2023), the people-led effort defeated Godzilla (temporarily) as Japan rebuilt after World War II (post-1945) with a compelling human story of “survivor guilt.”

    These two low-budget (under 12 million USD each) “monster” movies won numerous awards including Best Picture in Japan (both) and Godzilla Minus One won an Oscar in the US for Best Visual Effects (the first-ever for a low-budget monster movie).

14. Would hate to watch anything with these people, pretentious and annoying every second

15. everytime the Gojira tune plays = Pharoah Monche – Simon Says comes up <3

16. I'll say it. This is the best prequel of all time.

17. i think they were saluting godzilla cause humans technically made him what he was with radiation from bombs and then they had to kill him, even though it was human's fault he became such a mass being of destruction. maybe kind of a cool/sad metaphor for veterans of war who are violent and destructive when they go home.

18. The leading Japanese Destroyer at the end was the Yukikaze, one of the few Japanese Warships to survive the Pacific War… and without any major damage (she was never hit by a single shell or a single bomb) despite participating in pretty much every major naval battle. She was also the only survivor of her entire class of 19 Destroyers. This gained her a reputation as a "miracle ship".

19. I don't know if this is true, but from the Osaka Godzilla Fest, Yamazaki informed the crowd that the black markings were indeed regenerative cells belonging to the atomic creature.

20. "Best movie ever?"

    I had RRR playing in the background when I had some friends over, and it was still way more entertaining than this mockumentary 😒

21. The Japanese population was subject to plenty of propaganda during the war. It makes sense they were misinformed and had the wrong expectations.

22. Opening scene has the venerable Japanese Zero Fighter landing on the fictional Odo Island. Home of the great fictional Japanese monster "Gojira". The premise of the movie is the "Tokyo Fire Bombing on March 10th, 1945". Mankind's worst, that had more casualties and lost in history to the Hiroshima Bomb. "Is that a new Yankee weapon? Answer is yes, to the tune of nearly 300 newly developed long range B29 Bombers and thousands of newly developed Incendiary bomb; Napalm. Developed to rain fire on the civilians of Tokyo on March 10th 1945. The "Black Market" scene with it's vendors, hustlers and prostitutes to introduce Noriko & Akiko to Koichi is brilliant. The date March 1946, on the one (1) year anniversary of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing", it's raining heavily. Ironically Koichi is drenched in rain water instead of fire as he shares good news about finding steady work. Another date is the sinking of the "Takao". "Takao's" sudden bombarding of Godzilla is ironic as the "Takao" was offshore on the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor.
    On March 10th, 2024, 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 WWII story using the great Japanese monster "Gojira". Harley Davidson, Koichi's "Black Market" motorcycle, and the Japanese Imperial Army was a surprise discovery. As well as many others which, are factual.
    The last line Noriko looks to the side of the camera and says, "Is your war……now finally over?"
    I read that in Japan, after the movie, people applauded.

23. 42:19 "She can't read" is crazy tho💀💀

24. Every country gets a Godzilla!?

    Would be nice! How's Bhutan gonna have one – we don't even have an ocean

25. It's called -1 because the war set Japan back to 0. They had nothing. Then Godzilla comes alone as sets them back even further….minus one.

26. People other than Japanese who saw this movie were probably surprised, right? Why does a Godzilla movie, which is supposed to be a fun monster movie, make me cry? and. In fact, the Japanese original Godzilla has had many variations over its 70-year history, and some of them even have plots similar to those in the Monsterverse. Recommended ones are Godzilla (1954), King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), and Godzilla Final Wars. , Mechagodzilla vs. Godzilla, etc., I think are very interesting.

27. Every country has their own Godzilla. Right! Even the children have their own, and he's purple. 😂
