This absolutely ruled. One of the best in the series imo.

Absolutely criminal this probably won't get a Oscar nomination because its a monster movie, just amazing all around

The first thing came to my mind was best VFX. The visual effect put up here was better than a lot of Hollywood’s effort nowadays.

This was great mostly. Didn't think the family melodrama part was as fleshed out as I would've liked it to be (really could've extended that to another half an hour) but the setpieces were terrific and I did love the film's plea to not just survive but to live. There's one bit in the movie that plays exactly like a scene in Dunkirk and I found that kinda funny.

Currently the film has 31 reviews on RT.

For wide/limited release, it needs 80/40 reviews to get the certified fresh

Saw this last night. Terrific film; it really works as a satisfying action thriller.  Some of the best action set pieces all year. In an unexpected way, this end of & immediate post-WW2 version of Godzilla feels like a fitting nuclear-tinged,, zeitgeisty book-end to July's Oppenheimer. Talk about the Destroyer of Worlds personified (monsterified?).

 

Our large IMAX theater that was about 1/2 full -- the good seats all mostly taken. There was widespread audience clapping at the end (only the third time I've heard that all year -- after Barbie and GotG3 as well).

[Brainbug]

Will see it tomorrow, i can barely contain my excitement

[Mojoguy]

No English dubbed showings?

 

Will probably limit how much it makes if none.

[Belakor]

Wow, Just wow, this was a really good movie, excellent, it puts on shame these Hollywood movies with hundreds of millions in budget.

Spoiler

I loved the godzillasaurus, it was terrifying to see that thing for the first time.

I wa snot going to see this, not being a huge Godzilla fan, though I love the orignal movies, but I am going to see this. Putting it back in the early 50's is a great idea.

Critics Consensus

With engaging human stories anchoring the action, Godzilla Minus One is one kaiju movie that remains truly compelling between the scenes of mass destruction.

 

98% RT (47 reviews)

I think this film is considered as limited release. So it already gets the requirement for cirtified fresh.

Masterpiece! I think i liked it even more than Shin. This basically does what the 2014 film promised in its trailers (but never delivered on). Not just a great Godzilla movie but a legit great movie movie.

Toho seem to pushing this harder internationally compared to every other Japanese movie when strangely this movie isn’t even coming close to uber-blockbuster status in homeland japan.
