Is there anyone at all who didn't like it?
The only poor reviews I saw were pretty much just a bunch of tards whining about having to read subtitles.
I see this on Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile so much. Ithink people are trying so hard to hate this and that new ghibli film, the boy and the heron just to get (You)s. They’re both great to amazing. Genuinely don’t understand what compels people to post arguments, while not understanding deeper themes in media, like “pacing”, “wasn’t fleshed out”, “couldn’t relate”, etc. As soon as I see these “arguments” you are dealing with a complete moron, a troll, or someone who can’t think for themselves.
Godzilla MO doesn't have deep themes, nor are they difficult to understand.
>nor are they hard to understand
lol you’d be surprised if this thread reaches bump limit
>nor are they difficult to understand.
Why are these threads filled with so many tards who didn't understand it then?
minus one is gold
heron is crap though
yes, miyazaki's cartoons for little girls and stunted manchildren has always been more popular than godzilla
godzilla is a masculine franchise
>pacing
The funny thing is, I thought the pacing was one of the strong points. Never felt like it was dragging.
GMO or TBaTH?
Godzilla.
the blacks, puerto ricans and r*dditors in my theater disliked it enough to talk, look at their phones and eat for an hour straight but they didnt leave so they cant have hated it
Just go to Alamo drafthouse
Jeets get ejected for going on their phones
i was disappointed that the vast majority of screentime godzilla had was him doing the same robotic walk forward animation
I can’t believe this outgrossed Godzilla. Do people still care about Myazaki?
'Fraid so
Not that surprising. The Boy and the Heron is dubbed after all, and cartoons attract families (despite the film not even really being a family flick kek)
They offer subbed and dubbed tard
Yeah no shit, moron. Having a dubbed option will still pull more viewers.
Maybe put that in your original post then you idiot.
Way to miss the point of the post, brainlet. The dub is the reason it's outgrossing Godzilla.
Again, state that you moron instead me making you extrapolate your moronic points.
ESL ghibligay having stroke kek
no one claimed there wasn't a sub
are ghibligays really this fragile
>1 minute apart
Settle down, champ.
Maybe don’t say with 100% certainty shit like
>The Boy and the Heron is dubbed after all
you braindead Black person.
What the frick are you talking about? It is 100% certain that theres a dub. Whats your issue?
‘Is dubbed’ vs ‘There is a dub’ are two completely different meanings, you ESL Brazilian monkey.
Godzilla was just expanded to an additional 1,600 American theaters on the 15th, give it a week lol
Zero chance it'll catch up. The difference is too great and TBatH will also continue making money for a good while
I told my friend the new Godzilla was really good and he made a face like I just told him down was up or something. I think a lot of people just assume the series is 100% goofy monster movies and can't even conceive of someone actually making a good one.
I mentioned I was interested in the Godzilla movie and my parents went along, I was afraid they wouldn't like it but they came out praising it a lot.
>I think a lot of people just assume the series is 100% goofy monster movies
I hate those "people"
>I think a lot of people just assume the series is 100% goofy monster movies
Can you really blame them? The franchise is like 90+% that. Aside from the original I would say only the last two movies have really turned that ship around.
Yeah this makes sense. I had the exact same interaction with other people about this movie.
I guess it’s like fanfiction. Everything is so bad that when something genuinely good appears, nobody cares to look at it.
I can, you can bring little kids to this one easily. I saw a bunch of families with 3/4/5 year olds at my opening night screening of Minus One, but they pretty much all started crying as soon as Godzilla's attack on Oda Island played out, their parents all ended up leaving with them.
most godzilla films are typically for 8-10 year old+, but the showa films can be enjoyed by even younger
I saw mothra vs godzilla when I was 5, left a permanent mark lol
>I saw a bunch of families with 3/4/5 year olds at my opening night screening of Minus One
idiots
Yes, some fans who are sad that normies finally like Godzilla becuase no more suits and miniatures, and fans that are uncomfortable with Yamazaki's sanitized version of the post-WWII era.
I liked it but I acknowledge those issues.
>because no more suits and miniatures
And that's a good thing.
I personally don't like it because it's yet another solo Godzilla flick that attempts to be profound and political. You can only do that once before it gets tiring and they did perfectly almost 70 years ago.
The real of appeal of the Big G comes from him duking it out with other monsters. This is something that America seems to understand better these days. New Empire looks sick.
Oh my god dude king of monsters was the worst shit I’ve ever seen in my life
>some fans who are sad that normies finally like Godzilla becuase no more suits and miniatures,
OP here, this is what bothers me the most and why I don't know if I should pay to see it in theaters (I'm strapped for cash after Christmas gift-buying- yeah I'm fricking poor). CGI Godzillas have never connected with me the way the suitmation ones did.
There’s only a total of 1.5 seconds of bad cgi all added up, if that. Just things like “ah that smoke cloud could’ve been better” “that inanimate object should’ve moved with more weight” “that camera shake didn’t look realistic”. You can tell where they’ve used miniatures in some scenes too. Also dude it’s like 8 bucks for a ticket. Just go
I will say the CGI is pretty stellar besides a couple wonky shots but there was one shot (the closeup of the mine sitting in his mouth) that looked photorealistic, and that the destruction/debris were satisfying and the water effects were overwhelmingly good.
>sanitized version of the post-WWII era
Can you elaborate on this?
They make Godzilla the villain. So I'm not watching it. Simple as.
Dunno if bait but I'll bite anyway.
Godzilla is literally described by it's creator as "the atomic bomb, made flesh".
He wasn't good to begin with.
Also the underlying message is the same as the original in that man makes his own disasters.
G-1 even takes extra jabs at manmade institutions/government while having a clear "war is the real villain" message.
I don't know if I'm a Godzilla fan because I dislike plenty of the movies, but I didn't really like it.
I hate to say it but the low budget was really killing me. It felt like some George Lucas type shit. Acting was bad, pacing was bad, most of the action was bad.
I don't get why people loved it so much.
This anon called it
>the person who doesn't like Godzilla didn't like the new Godzilla movie
SHOCKER!
Does anyone have the godzilla version of the Jeb Sweep
>can't take your children to gojira
Since fricking when? Also, cute nipples.
I liked it, but if I was to nitpick, I would say the movie spends way more time on the human aspect than I would have liked. Wanted to see a little more screen time for Godzilla.
the only thing I didn't like that much about it was how predictable the entire plot was. But I found it executed well so I can live with that. I want to watch it again subbed tho because the german dub we have in theaters is horrible.
I'm impressed you guys had a dub. My only options in my American semi-rural area were subbed. Still had more people in my Sunday matinee showing than any other film I've been to in recent memory, but I don't get out much.
I watched the movie entirely alone in a theatre that smelled like piss for some reason. But it was amazing watching it like that. I vastly prefer watching shit and having the entire theater to myself, it’s magic.
I was surprised too. I went in blind, expecting to hear enthusiastic japanese people screaming around. :/
Could have been much shorter. I re-watched Shin Godzilla and still enjoyed that one more. Still, was a good Godzilla.
where can i watch this subbed online
i want to buy it on streaming i love godzilla its been out for months now why is this so damn complicated
I just got back from a showing. I love Godzilla, I've seen every Godzilla film and this one was really stellar. If I have a complaint, it would be that there's a bit too much melodrama, but I also know that's how a lot of Japanese work is. I think the story, while predictable as another anon said, is executed well, and even with my slight gripes at the acting at times I found the characters good enough to care, and every scene with the big man was fricking great. I'll probably see it again soon cause my theater had a bunch of parents with their kids and half the time the kids were asking wtf they were talking about in the movie.
Spoilers for the ending:
I don't like when movies don't let the characters stay dead, but this time I enjoyed that the woman survived since it is thematically relevant and I didn't see it coming
Also, it sucks my local theater only had dubs, wish I could see subbed.
I enjoyed it, but I understand why someone might not like the melodrama, and I do feel that the wife surviving at the end was a pretty cheap emotional beat.
What I *don't* understand is that most of the people (not on here, at least) saying they disliked the film are complaining that it's fascist apologia - and, in one case, called it "Michael Bay's Godzilla". The first I think is a surface level misreading at best and opportunistic signaling at worst, the second I can't even get my head around.
A good Godzilla movie just has to contend with most people's stupid idea of what a movie in a series they haven't seen most of SHOULD be. I don't understand how anybody could call THIS "Michael Bay's Godzilla" when that's just exactly what all the monsterverse movies are.
Can you post an example of someone calling this micheal bays godzilla? This is the first time I'm hearing of it.
There was a Twitter post by a decently influential independent film reviewer, but I'm having a hard time finding it, can't remember their name for the life of me. Sorry.
I found it I think and all I can say is literally who
https://twitter.com/RossWBermanIV/status/1733322042177417496
This isn't the person I was thinking of, but it is one I saw - I must have mixed them up.
-SPOILERS-
what was with her neck at the end? The moving, black skin?
What do you think you Black person? There’s no hidden deep meaning. She got some ‘zilla cancer aids from the atomic breath. No one knows what it implies, hasn’t been revealed yet.
Dunno why you sound angry lol
It's just a little fun pontification on the maybes and what ifs.
Theorizing can be fun.
Not spoilering was the real Black person behavior all along.
godzilla impregnated her, guy got cucked but godzilla is female so its okay
I guess it is some radiation disease
Zilla radiation poisoning
Also was it implied that godzilla will eventually regenerate?
Implied?
It's directly shown.
Also
in case literally seeing him regenerate wasn't enough, the end of the credits has audio of G walking out and roaring
I liked it but your shilling is annoying me now, its not that good
It was the best film I've ever seen in a theater.
t.zoomer
>t.zoomer
redundant
>all the plushs are sold out on the store
I really wanted a mothra plush
I saw this opening night. I came back and posted in a thread and there was one mook who was blasting everyone for it not being a more "traditional" godzilla movie.
Essentially, there wasn't enough monster and that everyone liked the differences between this movie and previous films, particularly the more enjoyable human story arc.
All of these positive reviews sent this one dude over the edge.
I loved the movie.
Is it better than Shin?
NTA but personally I think it edges out shin by a slim margin just by virtue of having better pacing.
In shin the bureaucracy parts kinda drag whereas -1 doesn't really have slow moments. It was incredibly tightly paced.
>bureaucracy parts kinda drag
That's the point you silly goose!
How dare you
as much as I love shingojira, I have to skip all the office meeting scenes on rewatches
So you skip 95% of the movie?
Hard to say. It just has a different feel than most godzilla movies. It's just really good.
Yeah, I don't know. The guy from opening night seemed to think that every Godzilla movie has an hour of monsters and this wasn't enough for him and anyone who liked the quality over quantity was an idiot.
I prefer Shin, personally - I like the more grotesque Godzilla, the sympathetic Frankenstein's monster and - God help me - I'm a sucker for dry geopolitics/bureaucracy drama. I still thought Minus One is a great film, and I think most viewers will enjoy it much more.
I liked them both equally, honestly.
Shin was definitely creepier and more interesting and fleshed out as it's own character, and I like that a lot but I enjoyed the human character drama and the homages to previous (and even non-zilla) films in -1 more, even if the characters had melodramatic acting typical of Japan.
I also felt the pacing in -1 was better and liked that G wasn't so anime by the end like shin.(lazor pores!!1!)
Shin looked so damn cool/freaky though and his creepy, black eyed, first atomic breath sequence was way cooler to me than -1s action figure style, pop out dorsals.
Love em both.
Also props to the sound designers for -1
The roar and nuke sounds were incredible.
Anyone else cum when gojis original theme starts playing?
>Essentially, there wasn't enough monster
This is the complaint that immediately marks out that it's someone's first Godzilla film. Which Godzilla films actually have him on screen for more than ~10 minutes?
I loved it and I’m gonna see it again this week for a 4th time
I just can’t stand the gays complaining that the movie didn’t DELVE INTO the Japanese war crimes or US atomic bombings so they can UNPACK IT with a heckin video essay.
>I just can’t stand the gays complaining that the movie didn’t DELVE INTO the Japanese war crimes or US atomic bombings
Weirdly, I've seen some of the same people complain about that who also complained that Oppenheimer didn't have scenes of the atom bomb's effects on the Japanese citizens.
People like this need to stick to documentaries so they can spout their opinions with less exposure to people.
Checking it out this week. I fell asleep during Shin since it was so damn dry, hopefully this will be as good as the reviews say.
if you didn't like shin, you'll probably like minus one
minus isn't dry at all
Don't be surprised if you absolutely love it.
>Godzilla movie where he is a representation of war itself arrives and is a major sucess at a time of huge international tension
Dëâth
I need torrent.... NOW.
NO I WON'T FRICKING WAIT FOR NOVEMBER 2024 TO WATCH THIS.
Anon, going to the movie theater is fun!
do you live in a country where it is showing?
if so, go to the cinema
if not, it should be on Amazon in about 3 months and there will be rips
there's a crap version online right now, but I would hate for someone to watch that on their first viewing, it's simply not worth it, like watching starwars on your phone with muffled audio
I was convinced the lovable ship crew was gonna die the whole time. Glad they didn't it. Also was the older ship head guy a VA for yakuza or something? He loved emphasising his words a lot more than others
Why was it named minus one?
Anyway, I've liked it for most of the time, aside from kamikaze autism and main actor having too much of a b***hface. Also because he lived with pretty girl and raised a kid with her and they still slept in separate beds after years of living together.
Also was a bit stupid how Godzilla stayed in one place when two ships slooooowly encircled him. And he wasn't immobile, because he tracked the plane and was attacking it with his hands and jaw.
Atomic breath scenes are great and showing the destruction afterwards is a plus.
The happy end at the very final moments with girl being alive was an asspull.
In the end I liked the Godzilla itself in Shin more, but supporting cast in Minus one was better.
explained in the trailer
Japan after war being at zero and then Godzilla emerges, makes it worse and brings Japan below zero to minus one.
This was the best movie experience I've had in a decade. Children were crying and I had to explain a nuclear bomb while enjoying my kaiju kino.
I had a bunch of little kids crying at my showing as well - why do so many parents thing this is a good film to take their 5 year olds to? It's absolutely appropriate for an 11 year old - in fact, probably the best age to watch it - but little kids are obviously gonna be scared shitless.
I've had kids crying and then clapping at the end when MC catapulted safely.
