Godzilla still looks like he's having a hell of a tough time. Maybe a given when it looks like you've got molten lava flowing underneath the skin .

Shin Gojira is the closest Godzilla to capturing the feel I'm looking for. Legendary's 2014 design is the most polished for sure, but it looks too much like an animal.

Shin Gojira looks like a vengeful God.

At least one of the Gs is super easy to kill

As for design, I'm tied between 2014 and Millennium. The streamlined design looks like something that could exist while still being classic G

Well, until that terrifying mutation.
I dunno, it feels more like Anno is trying to do Patlabor WXIII parody using Godzilla.

I like that. It's twisted. A Godzilla that's actually horrifying is 50 years overdue. Legendary's 2014 design looks like a cuddly teddy bear in comparison.

Speaking more for its actions instead of the suit, GMK Godzilla has it out for humanity in the worst way. You can also see him sneering at points. What a jerk

Yeah, well, history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men, as they say.

Before watching "Godzilla vs. King Kong" on the big screen, you can now watch "Shin Godzilla vs. Shin-chan!"

'Godzilla Resurgence' Has Made Over 5 Billion Yen At The Japanese Box Office

Quote:
In the time since Godzilla Resurgence’s release in Japan, the film has managed to make over 5.3 billion yen at the Japanese box office.

That amounts to roughly $51.63 million, which means it has made more in that territory than the 2014 Godzilla movie, which only pulled in $29 million, and is close to beating the box office takings of the last Evangelion movie.

The latter is an important point because Evangelion is a series helmed by Hideaki Anno, who wrote and co-directed this new Godzilla movie. In addition, co-director Shinji Higuchi also worked on both as well.

This aspect will likely mean that its appeal will be culturally landlocked, as Godzilla has always had the undercurrent of how Japan deals with natural disasters.

This new film though is a scathing indictment of how the Japanese administration failed in its duty in the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami and the subsequent Fukushima disaster.

It’s clear this element of the movie has strongly resonated with Japanese viewers and they have flocked to see it in the millions.
Apparently, Anno and Higuchi have left a giant GAINAX/NGE fingerprint all over the movie; they even went as far as directly using Decisive Battle from Eva's OST in it.

Okay, Anno, now that you're done, get back to Studio Khara and the last Eva movie. *hefts spike-studded baseball bat*

Oddly enough they were actually showing this movie at SM, so I decided to see whether it was worth it.

Shin Godzilla doesn't have as much spectacle as Godzilla 2014, but its politically charged dialog speaking to people's ideals as they're constantly tested and degraded make for a much better aging film. The physical and psychological toll it takes on its characters contributes to a genuinely scary Godzilla, an unmatched feat since the original Gojira. Unnerving creature appearance, Earth-shattering sound design, and impeccable music timing on top of this, make for an uncomfortably awesome experience that lets you catch your breath after its taken it away

This film also makes it apparent the best Godzilla films are dialog focused. Godzilla 2014 left me with a bigger high on 1st blush, but it shifts from dialog to action setpieces halfway through to make for an uneven film on subsequent rewatches. Looking back on all the Godzilla films I've seen (I only haven't seen Raids Again and vs Kong), there's a strong relation between focusing on the dialog and the quality of the film. Not to say dialog focus equates to a good Godzilla film, but a good Godzilla film doesn't exist without centralizing the thrust on dialog

So saw it today with a good friend during the limited run.

Spoiler for Shin Godzilla:


Overall, I give the movie a solid 8.5/10. My biggest complaint, really, is just how much NGE-style stuff Anno put into the movie.

Looks like Toho wanted that sweet Cinematic Universe money and decided to cancel Shin Godzilla 2 and will probably reboot the franchise again for long-term plan this time.

I loved Shin Godzilla, yet I'm perfectly okay with this decision. Making Shin Godzilla a standalone one-and-done movie is better than risking to continue the story only for it to go downhill or fall off a cliff (like what happened to the original Showa Godzilla after the first 1954 movie). All in all, I'm very grateful that I was given a chance to witness Hideaki Anno's take on Godzilla in my lifetime, and now, with Shin story (reportedly) done and possibly won’t be revisited again, hopefully Anno can start working on the final Evangelion Rebuild movie. We've been waiting years for it.
