Leave your thoughts about Shin Godzilla.
| easternKicks.comHarris DangWith its satirical and topical humour, glorious scenes of destruction and a fresh coat of paint, Shin Godzilla [Godzilla Resurgence] lived up to the buzz and exceeded my expectations in every single way. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeCome for the city-flattening; stay for the political satire. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeSo, yes, Shin Godzilla is dialogue-heavy, and sometimes it fails to make much sense. And after that knockout battle scene in the middle of the film, the end conflict is a little anticlimactic, especially for Western audiences used to a lone hero sacrificing themselves to save the day instead of the successful execution of a coordinated team effort. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonToho's reboot of its most famous kaiju is, amidst intense monster action, a bitter satire on bureaucracy and a cautionary tale about humanity's collective folly. |
| iNews.co.ukMatthew TurnerThe fact that the film features a fictional U.S. President preparing to nuke Japan is a frankly jaw-dropping coincidence. It's both hilarious and terrifying. |
| Radio TimesJamie HealyThis ambitious reboot of the Godzilla franchise from Toho Studios is a curious beast, but its unconventional nature makes it stand out from the rest of the monster pack. |
| Independent (UK)Clarisse LoughreyWhat Shin Godzilla does offer is one major counter: Godzilla's real home is Japan, and anything else feels like a glitzy vacation. |
| Cine VértigoErnesto DiezmartinezA film that, besides good humor, has some curious political remarks about XXI century Japan that definitely must be highlighted. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonIt might not climb the mountainous heights of the '54 Godzilla or the 1964 Mothra vs. Godzilla, but it's right up there at the top of the franchise's second tier. |
| GQJoshua RiveraThe special effects seem to very intentionally play into the monster's low-fi roots while also attempting to unsettle, and it's... kind of really effective. |
