I don't understand why people went so crazy for this movie. It's not bad or anything, but its pretty typical Godzilla fare. I've seen the exact same movie in 1954, 1985, 1998, and 2016.

I don't understand why people went so crazy for this movie.
Because movies are mostly shit now so a decent one that isn't pozzed stands out. Same reason Maverick felt like a 10/10.
>Everything is about the politics I'm obsessed with
>commiewood shoves their politics in our faces for decades
>notice one film isn't pushing a political agenda
>UR OBSESSED
lol. lmao even.
This movie was extremely political, also Godzilla would support trans people's right not to be killed for just for existing
Shin Godzilla was about petty local politics and it's one of the reasons it's so trash.
>petty
>local
a radioactive monster was going to get nuked by the UN in downtown tokyo
The theme of the movie is that it should have been nuked by the UN as a first contact measure. Because it's all a shallow critique of Fukushima and slow governmental reaction to it.
so neither petty nor local
Well Black person, everything seems to be about politics to the people making movies, as well as the most prominent voices that reach filmmakers. To the point that they will complain when a company rep says something like, "We don't want to get political" because that statement is extremely politically charged to them. Asking "Why do you care?" doesn't work anymore. You obviously care, homosexual. Everyone who doesn't vocally praise a movie for a lack of pozzed shit is someone who wants more pozzed shit or is thoroughly demoralized by pozzed homosexuals shaming them for caring. There is no good faith interpretation anymore. We know you're a lefy homosexual and you need to have a nice day. It's true that Minus One's filmmakers probably didn't have any western identity politics on their mind, it doesn't mean the lack of idpol garbage wasn't incredibly refreshing for westerners. They have to deal with financial systems that make them poor, doctors who make them sick, and entertainment made to depress and annoy them.
he asked why the people who went crazy for the movie (Cinemaphileners) and clearly politics was a big reason for the chuds around here
>projection
if you didn't put your ideological homosexualry in every little thing, we wouldn't care about it. that's why we buy ANYTHING that devoid of the aforementioned homosexualry. all you have to do is NOT put politics in it and it will sell.
Being wholesome and trad is subversive and cool now.
It was kinda boring I don't get the hype
People said it was emotional? It's like the exact same storyline every tearjerker 90s movie had with the same sappy music and overwrought family themes. Just didn't seem special
Shin was way better
But based on my limited experience with the godzilla fandom
These people are fricking idiots like actually moronic so I think they would just lap up any new offering regardless of quality
Unhinged
Godzilla fandom prefer shin. There’s a big overlap with kaijugays and annogays
Godzilla fandom likes them both.
Prefer doesn’t mean you dislike the thing you don’t prefer
Hey flat earth /misc/tard ragegays, please stop trying to ruin Godzilla with this dumb trad meme bullshit. These fun sci-fi movies about giant monsters have nothing to do with your racist incel political coping mechanisms. Thank you.
don't reply to them
If troons could frick off and leave people alone we wouldn't be in this mess but being mentally ill isn't enough for them they have to force others to acknowledge their mental illness. They literally can't exist in a vacuum unless it's one of those old ones with the big separate canister then you could probably stuff a skinny one in there.

What a homosexual you are.
>/misc/ boogeyman
>Anything that goes against the degeneracy I stand for is automatically /misc/
That's the definition of /misc/ moron. I know being stupid is a required attribute for a /misc/tard otherwise the irrationality of all the "positions" you hold (racism, sexism, homophobia) wouldn't hold, but at least stop getting triggered by being labeled what you are, a /misc/tard. That's too stupid even for your ilk.
>irrationality of all the "positions" you hold (racism, sexism, homophobia)
Those are all rational and based on thousands of years of evolutionary biology though...It's almost like you're mad that you must conform to reality rather than reality conforming to you.
See yourself beneath God.
A man can only see godzilla stomp on things for a few hours before finally getting killed with a secret weapon so many times
>t. Haven't seen the film
I enjoyed a movie just being a movie and not being preached to.
Did you miss the doc and the Navy veteran's separate speeches admonishing the Japanese government and preaching about the value of life or something?
It made sense and was better than the gun violence joke in free guy
Being apolitical for a movie is problematic tho. In this era of conservatives being increasingly emboldened to opress minority groups silence is genocide. Wish more critics would point this out in their reviews.
The movie is highly political. Literally calls out the cowardess of the japanese and american goverment having the actual people fight Godzilla fight instead of the military.
Crazy decision to have the woman alive at the end
I mean, compared to all those new shitty movies like Godzilla vs Superman or whatever the name is, Minus One looks like a masterpiece
>Shin Trashilla
>anywhere near Minus One
Opinions this bad shouldn't be allowed. .
Who's fricking hyped?
gonna go see this if possible
https://www.amctheatres.com/movies/godzilla-minus-one-minus-color-75866
The Blu Ray better have both versions
Literally just mute the colors on the tv if it doesn't
Let's be honest here, it's more than just doing that. Same with the Mist black-and-white, they take the time to adjust the levels and make each shot work in B&W.
what's the point of this anyway? another nod to the og movie?
People like Evil Godzilla because he is easy to digest for kids, but he's also a commentary on something that happened 80 years ago.
Good Godzilla is a critique of today, he gets upset by underground nuclear testing and pollution, good Godzilla is just trying to be understood by scientists and sees buildings as happenstance.
People don't want that because nobody funding movies wants to question unfettered technological growth, but it's been really popular to go "You know... this country has a fricked up past, it's real shit. No I don't fricking care who I offend"
One thing is certain; Hollywood should be paying attention.
It was made for $15m yet made $50m US domestic on limited release (half the cinemas at its peak).
It's enough that it didn't suck.
What a moronic take and I'm sick to death of redditors saying this just because they hate Marvel or something. The only people who should be taking note are Japanese and other eastern studios who can start pumping out movies and make money from the west and not just domestically, this movie did worse than Shin in Japan and still made bank because of it's wide release.
Movies like Shin Ultraman and Kamen rider could have been much better with bigger budgets because there would be actual money to be made from them. China could start making movies good enough to release in the west, they can have random war movies making like a billion dollars over there and easily make enough over here to justify releasing them for propaganda purposes alone. Not every fricking thing needs to come from Hollywood you fricking cretin. Wider competition would be great
You missed his point entirely
In a sea of shit, it wasn't shit.
Sick poster image, thanks for the textless version. Can't wait to see Minus Color.
I heard they've tweaked a lot of the visuals, sounds like maybe even more than just making it black and white. I'm wondering what's going to be changed.
This site makes fun of s0i consoomers but the moment Jap schlock like Godzilla comes out, they act the same way
Because Toho Godzilla is actual kino more often than not and being Japanese it's been able to keep israelite tricks from ruining it like so many other franchises.
>it's been able to keep israelite tricks from ruining it like so many other franchises
Not having "israelite tricks" is such an important thing for any franchise. It's so impactful that it actually convinces people to think anime is kino.
It actually is, movies made overseas without israelites pushing for feminisn and Black folk in every scene and without uppity Black folk and egomaniac lesbians writing, are actually good movies
>want to see good movie
>noooo you're consooming!
It's more along the lines about how you guys exaggerate this being the 2nd coming of christ
I mean, it practically is compared to what else is in theaters. And it's easily one of the best Godzilla movies.
I hate to have to be the one to tell you this but a new Toho Godzilla movie is a big deal to Godzilla fans.
>I've seen the exact same movie in 1954
get off the internet gramps
>not watching one of the best films of all time because it's "old"
Get off Cinemaphile and start watching stuff, zoomie.
I never said I didn't see it. I just didn't see it in 1954 unlike this old bag
>I’m on Cinemaphile and haven’t seen one of the most important films ever
>all my local theaters are showing Minus Color for the full week
Hell fricking yeah
Frick no, you haven’t. It’s not the Godzilla shit that people are praising about the movie, though those scenes are top tier. It’s that they actually for once managed to make a cast of characters who keep you engaged, and aren’t just filler between kaiju scenes.
This is the thematic opposite of Shin, which was about creaking and bloated govern bureaucracy failing to prevent catastrophe. In this one, the government’s barely even involved. This is the first movie in the series where I actually was rooting for the humans against Godzilla, rather than the opposite, or just being indifferent toward them. The entire cast is well-defined, has a role to play, display growth and development, and you come to like all of them. I’ve watched ‘85 I couldn’t even tell you how many times, and I couldn’t tell you a single character’s name.
>they actually for once managed to make a cast of characters who keep you engaged, and aren’t just filler between kaiju scenes.
you don't watch godzilla movies
Not him but I’ve seen most and don’t care about the characters in most
Fricking filtered.
Gonna be at least 6 months. Set your expectations to November and you might be pleasantly surprised with it's September lol.
I’ve just never found myself rooting for the Martian princess or the reporter or anybody like that
>wasn't rooting for Glenn to bag his Martian clone bride.
you fricking monster
I was talking about ghidrah the 3 headed monster. I haven’t seen astro monster in forever but I think I remember liking the astronauts
You don’t get to just do a drive by and say that. Give me some counter-examples.
>his is the first movie in the series where I actually was rooting for the humans against Godzilla
If you're rooting for Godzilla in the original as he stomps on children then you're a psycho.
>If you're rooting for Godzilla in the original as he stomps on children then you're a WWII Pacific Theater veteran or a Chinese.
Oh shit, that one single example from 70 years ago and over 30 movies. My point is just shot to hell.
GMK
Wheres the hc hdrip? Aquaman already leaked. I want gojira!
'54 > Minus One > Return > '14 > '98
Streaming fricking when?
What's it even going to be streamed on, I wonder? Shin Godzilla went to Vudu and Youtube. Minus One was distributed by Toho themselves this time, so I don't know if they have any deals with streaming services? Doesn't really matter to me, I guess, I'll be buying this on Bluray the second it comes out, the last physical media I've bought since Shin Godzilla and M3gan.
I don't think you're being genuine. I watched it in Japan, knowing 100 word at best, and the movie moved me. It's good. End of story. If you don't need to understand the dialog, and it you feel something: it's a great picture.
its only availibe in japanese in my cinema. why are nips so entiteld, if they want me to watch their movie then they should dub, like every other movie producer
Shut the frick up having it in subtitles is a welcome blessing
There was a trailer for the new miyazaki before my showing and the dub sounded offensively bad
>I don't understand why people went so crazy for this movie
Because it's the best movie of 2023 and one of the best movies of the past decade? Characters are memorable, the story is interesting and the action is great. One of the few films that brought my love for cinema back
you need to watch more movies
AAAAAAHHH THIS MOVIE DIDN'T COME TO MY SHITHOLE WHERE THE FRICK DO I WATCH IT?!
I went crazy because I hadn't seen any Godzilla before but from those who have they say it was auperb and different than others.
>t.contrarycuck
it was a 7/10 at best
completely agree.
but anime/weebs dont know how to be critical
They just wanna regurgitate america movies bad japan good because they are moronic and havent actually delved into other mediums .
Genuine embarassment to the community.
The acting was so fricking bad from the main character
The Climax twist was barely a toot out the ass .
Its cool its fine , its not omegamazing.
Personally i enjoyed Godzilla Millenium more.
The melodrama in -1 is just so played out
The Mechanic guy was the only actor to me that stood out.
The others played your standard japan wartime phenotypes
Also They were willing to be completely ignorant about Japan being completely fricked up during the war and pretend that america was just being overly strict towards them for no reason.
Nu-Banzai type director
>They were willing to be completely ignorant about Japan being completely fricked up during the war and pretend that america was just being overly strict towards them for no reason.
Yeah this is the crux of it. Just like Shin Godzilla, it's not what it says, it's what it doesn't say. Yamazaki likes to present a nice sanitized version of post-war Japan. Meanwhile, the actual creative people behind the classic Godzilla movies were involved with the war and were disgusted by the shit that Japan was doing in it.
yeah and the speech they did felt like they had to shove it in post because they forgot what the underlying message godzilla has almost always pushed.
It completely lacked teeth .
Not to mention the gorgeous shot after this I cant find with godzilla marching as they tail him in paralel.
Its not perfect
but beautifully shot and an awesome ending.
(best link i could find rest are all english or korean for whatever reason)
G2K has the worst sfx in the franchise aside from 98
im ok with that. I enjoyed it
I don't care. It's still my favorite Godzilla movie.
Hardly. All the effects in the Heisei series were by-the-numbers and just point-and-shoot. G2K brought Godzilla back down to 50 meters and let them make the miniatures more detailed, and they did more low-angle shots and it was the first Godzilla movie with CG breath and it looked great.
lol
lmao
please attempt to convince us the underwater CG godzilla looks good
or the CGI UFO
or Orga's unmovable hands
or the countless awful composite shots
try to do that without bringing up Heisei rent free like every G2K simp who feels they need to tear down other movies to prop up their favorite borefest
Underwater CG Godzilla and ship were pretty meh, but they were still getting used to doing CG. While literally everything in the Heisei series post-Biollante looks like a diorama.
Imagine being this mad about the special effects in a 25yr old giant monster movie. I'm gonna watch G2K tonight.
>25yr old
this implies sfx nowadays are better than they were 25 years ago which is not the case
>giant monster movie
this implies the sfx in kaiju films are expected to be shit and should not be held to high standards
This implies you're a butthurt homosexual lol.
'fraid not
Don't be skeert anon. Fear is the mind killer.
Excuse me but what the frick.
Troonzilla is transitioning bigot.
The only monster movie gayer than Godzilla!
you ever watch final wars?
>Meanwhile, the actual creative people behind the classic Godzilla movies were involved with the war and were disgusted by the shit that Japan was doing in it.
lmao doubt
If you read views by critics of the regime they were pretty open about how extremely heavy american censorship was in the post-war period.
Shigeru Mizuki (who lost his arm from disease in the war and almost got killed by the jp army multiple times and got forcibly volunteered for a suicide mission) darkly noted that the americans talked a whole lot of empty words about truth and liberty but that post-war school children still used the same books as before except the americans had inked out the patriotic parts about doing the best for your homeland. (and this was by a guy who had no idealistic illusions about hyper-nationalism)
Ishiro Honda was particularly disgusted and ordered the men under his command to shoot at the ground. Eisei Amamoto (the old man from GMK and a shitload of the 60's Toho movies) came back after the war and became a complete anarchist.
-1 was average, G2K sucks
Everybody knows japan was fricked uo during the war but that doesn’t mean things didn’t suck for civilians that had their cities bombed. You missed basically the whole point of the movie that war bad and what japan was doing was fricked up.
it was shilled here, you can tell.
its shills had a particularly odd vindictiveness against shin godzilla.
godzilla tourists always try to start movie/era wars. it's the sure sign of a newbie
>tourists
Hey guise the legendary shill is here. Everyone make xer feel welcome!
>try do that without bringing up Heisei rent free
he couldn't do it kek
That's because Heisei sucks and it's impossible not to talk about it.
see
I'm a crusty old Godzilla fan. I will never stop shitting on the Heisei series.
sure thing
It ripped the shitty ending right out of this movie.
>what’s the next step of your master plan
>crashing this plane
>with no survivors
It fits
He gets an experimental aircraft with a foreshadowed feature that allows him to survive before appearing to sacrifice himself to save the city.
you posted the wrong poster
>SO YOU CAME BACK TO DIE WITH YOUR CITY
>No, I came back to stop you *ejector seat*
would have been an improvement if they ripped it off more
Except it has no thematic weight here. In Minus One the whole point is he was too cowardly when it was expected, and when he was ready to die everyone wanted him to live. Joel Schumacher has the Batman theme right; the only way for Batman to achieve catharsis over losing his parents is to foster a family of his own
195225296
>Unhinged
>Unvaxxed
>Unabashed
Deal with it.
It’s literally a K-drama with Godzilla thrown in a couple scenes
definitely not the best Godzilla movie but might be the best movie with Godzilla in it
PROS
>Novel take on source material, a love letter to the 70 yo original
>a true period piece, takes places over years and gives a unique look at Japanese post-wat psychology
>Satisfying character arcs, everyone evolves and learns
CONS
>Long-winded in parts with a super-wide middle
>Godzilla ALREADY exists before the bombs but smaller, never explained
>Godzilla has too much chest, a swimming/bipedal animal would have no chest development
Overall a 7/10, definitely worth watching but I probably won't come back for a while because of length.
>Godzilla ALREADY exists before the bombs but smaller, never explained
Isn't that how it was in the '54 original? He was just a a dino minding his own business that became a local legend across generations
Does it get rid of Jet Jaguar, Mothra or Rodan? Or is this a broody reboot for the dark lighting era?
I do hope Toho takes a more light-hearted direction with their future goji projects. Bring back other monsters, make new ones.
Darker solo Godzilla is good, but you can only do it so many times before it gets dull and repetitive. -1 imo is the best execution we're ever gonna get of this take on the character.
At least we got these shorts.
