Godzilla Minus One was my favorite film of 2023. Seeing such such a beautiful, emotional human story that balanced heartbreaking tragedy with the indomitable human spirit made me love this film so much.

Seriously, thank you all for watching this video. It means a lot to me to see others expressed their love because this movie meant so much to me.

This was the most surprising film of 2023 for me, and I’m glad I decided to go see it after contemplating it for like 2-3 weeks. It was so good

OMG!!! You're the first person to bring up that we don't want these people to die because the movie took the time for us to care about them. ...And I've seen so many reviews. This is a great review.

It is not very common for people to go to the theater to see the same movie several times,
The fact that there are so many of them for this movie is not because they want to see Godzilla again and again, but because they feel sympathy for the main character, "Shikishima", by comparing themselves with him.

[ELFanatic]

This is the best review I've seen for -1.0. This feels unadulterated and from the heart. I watched so many reviews and this is the first that felt from the heart. It's refreshing.

I'm not great with words, but I loved this film. I cried a lot during it. I was empathizing and hurting for both the people of Japan and for Godzilla (that's my bby right there). It reminded me heavily of all the very real atrocities going on in the world. Both past and present, especially now. Truly heartbreaking. Free Palastine. Free Congo. Free Sundan ❤️🖤💚

Beautiful vid. I'm back from seeing it. I had tears 3 times during it. Amazing movie. ❤

It was JAWS meets DEER HUNTER. A brilliant piece of cinema that defines what going to the movies is all about.

I'VE SEEN GODZILLA MINUS ONE TWICE WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU IT IS AN EXCELLENT FILM WITH A WELL WRITTEN STORY YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS IN THIS MOVIE AND FEEL FOR THEM AND I MIGHT SEE IT A THIRD TIME THANK YOU TOHO STUDIOS YOU HAVE DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB. 📽📽📽📽📽📽🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎞🎞🎞🎞

Shin was also my favorite. Minus One may have taken that spot, but they can both share #1 for me.

❤ great story telling with human soul in it. ❤😊

Characters kept mentioning that their fight wasn't over even though the war was. Godzilla gave them something honorable to fight against because it was in protection of their people, not to further whatever agendas they were asked to fight and die for during the war. It was also nice to people questioning older traditions about dying with honor because how honorable can dying be if the cause did not justify the means? And even if the cause does justify it, do you still have to die to be considered honorable? Although they state that Japan itself treats life too carelessly, all of human history can attest that we really don't treat each other as we ought. While sad that they are having to kill a living being, it's also a result of humans meddling in things they don't truly understand, and for the safety of the innocent, they must go to war and right their wrongs.
Also, while I've only seen the Showa Era movies (I'd love to see the Heisei and Millennium ones), it was fun to have a prequel to the classic 1954 movie, and also explain how Godzilla could return from the Oxygen Destroyer for Godzilla Raids Again because he really does just reappear, there's no explanation in that movie other than speculation that it's a second Godzilla (which is certainly possible, too, where does Minilla come from (not that we should really care)?). I guess Godzilla can regenerate from just a few cells if they can survive the Oxygen Destroyer. Also since they blew up his head in Minus One and then in the next movie (1954) completely disintegrate him, that means his character can change to become less the force of nature he initially was, and more a protector and hero because his personality can be completely rewritten as the body reconstructs itself, and not just at the whim of the writers for whatever might be popular from film to film. The movie works not just as a good story, but makes the lore better, too! Or at least, as I understand it, I won't claim to be an expert.

I agree that most of the human characters were poorly written, but I still love the Monsterverse movies. Kong Skull Island felt like it had the best written characters.

Top 3 Godzilla movie of all time. Godzilla 1954, Shin Godzilla, and Godzilla minus 1.. Take your pick👍👍

[jonathanmulondo]

If Shin Godzilla is a metaphor for the folly of modern bureaucracy, Minus One is a metaphor for the pain and aftermath of war and deconstructs the glorification of war

[Peasham]

So sad people are vehemently denying the politics of this movie, considering its message and its beauty it's damn disrespectful

[nl]

see it twice and honestly the best film in years rollercoaster of emotions

[flexibley]

Shin Gojira was a frill shark/fish that fed on too much radiation and ended up coming up onto the surface where he found he could breath.

Minus One is a Godzilla that was literally the original except more modern and has some key differences + it has a very explosive atomic breath literally based upon that of an atomic bomb with its dorsal plates going outward when its about to shoot its breath representing the things you had to pull in order to detonate a nuke, and you could see minus ones pain when it came onto the shore of the soldier plane graveyard island, it was in pain and confused about what happened to it. Scared just like Shin Gojira.

[PalpamemesYT]

Japanese movie made on 15 million dollar budget > pretty much anything Disney has made in the past decade with 10x the budget

Godzilla finally has even footing with his colleague Kong whose 1933 film(35 cent ticket, took time with no TV & Internet) put him INSIDE our soul. Minus one is the Godzilla more than a monster movie soul saving turn we need today as King Kong was needed back then ❤. Think about what happen after WWII, we rebuilt it instead of enslave it as the United States could have. Minus one is to prevent WWIII esp. internationally(quicker with TV and Internet) because with Nukes there will be nothing to rebuild 🎉 ? Kjojig
