Minus One is my film of the year. As a lifelong Godzilla fan I was so happy with it, it was about as perfect as I could have hoped

I don't even think Tachibana ever represented that "death before surrender" mentality. After inspecting the plane, he empathizes with Shikishima, telling him he knows how futile it is which is also what makes the eject seat twist so good because it very much fits with that moment. His anger was more towards Shikishima's fear to act against Godzilla, when there was a likelihood that that could have saved their crew.

I loved how every single character was given their due. When 'Kiddo' came back with a tow fleet in the most dire moment like Han Solo in Star Wars I had happy tears in my eyes.

Minus One was such a breath of fresh air in the franchise. It was so awesome seeing Godzilla as the nearly unstoppable antagonist and not portrayed as some sort of anti-hero that causes destruction but for a good cause. Godzilla actually had scale and was truly shown to be as large and terrifying as he was supposed to be. I actully felt fear in some of the moments of the movie especially when he was on land. One of the best Godzilla films in a decade.

Godzilla Minus One was the first film that made me openly ugly cry in the theatres. And I don't consider myself as a hard-core fan of the IP the way some of my friends are. I went to see Minus One mostly because I was bored. I wasn't on the hype train for it at all. It ended up becoming a masterpiece and I wish I could experience the blind viewing like I did 2 weeks ago again.

It was a very human story, you did not have to be Japanese to understand the tone or the message of blind loyalty for a nation, or the power of doing the right thing when it really counts. And of course Godzilla was just...incredible in this film, the city destruction scene with his atomic breath was absolutely amazing.

I’ve been a fan of Godzilla since I was five. This franchise means the world to me. Even when the Monsterverse started the hype was not like it is right now. It’s so cool seeing that love being shared by so many. The take though that this is the first Godzilla movie with good human characters... it breaks my heart. It’s just not true and Godzilla movies are so much more than just Godzilla. I love that in the novel on Odo island, Godzilla sees that he didn’t shoot him in his plane so he didn’t attack him. I love that detail.

I really loved getting a look at post war japan, how they felt, seeing them come out of a culture that worshipped death to build a new culture that valued life, seeing them rebuilding Tokyo. Such a beautiful film.

I've seen this movie three times now. This movie is a goddamned masterpiece and I couldn't get enough of it. I cried at certain points and Godzilla was genuinely frightening. When the movie comes out, I'm getting the 4K Steelbook if it gets produced.

This is one of the reasons why I absolutely love this film: everyone is able to deconstruct this film into a series of messages and interpretations in a way that is completely different than someone else, yet every different interpretation can be right. The amount of depth, timelessness, and universality of this film just blows my mind. The interpretation of the beginning representing Pearl Harbor is something that I would never have thought of, and is completely different from my interpretation of it just being a masterful tone setter and exposition for the movie, yet both interpretations can be completely right. A movie with this much depth in its morals and messages is something that I hardly remember another movie achieving, furthering my love for this movie

My film of the year man. Minus one is currently tied for me as the best Godzilla movie of all time next to Godzilla 54. Probably even favorite movie of all time. As a lifelong Godzilla fan I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out. And I’m so happy it’s getting the recognition it deserves.

28:12 i swear to god the only moment in the movie where i teared up was the old man and doc telling the kid not to come and saying "we leave the future to you."

The single thought I had after seeing this movie is if one removed the monster from the story, there would still have been a compelling story to watch. It humanizes the Japanese from that period in way for American audiences that I don't think has been done to such a great extent before. The big guy doesn't even get a whole lot of screen time. Most of the film follows the three main characters and the movie is framed around their plight to survive post war Japan. That had a natural advantage of keeping costs down. (it only cost 15 million to make, even with some of the best CGI to come out of Japan) But that also kept the focus on the characters. The human story is what made this move great.

One small thing, Tachibana did not invent the ejector seat in the plane. It was a prototype model created near the end of the war "full of new innovations" that never flew in combat. It already had an ejector seat and there's a scene where Tachibana notices it after he arrives but before the final 0800 hours. He likely made it functional, but he did not invent the idea of an ejector seat to save Shikishima

Every single person I know who has seen this movie - including people who are not necessarily monster movie fans - have all said it was fantastic. If GZMO is nominated for Best Picture, that would be a first and one worth celebrating!

This is a golden age of Godzilla content and as a life long fan, that makes me happy

I'm not even a huge zilla fan, but this was absolutely one of my favorite monster movies of all time. It's right up there with Jaws and Jurassic Park for me...

The score in this movie is flawless

Okay, so I'm a bit of a military historian and I've got to tell you. You're wrong. At around the 11:00 you started talking about the atomic bombs being unbalanced, but at the time they were dropped the Japanese military weren't willing to stand down. So for the US it was either the bomb or a costly manned invasion. One that could have cost both sides countless most lives than even the bombs. Just remember the only reason we dropped bomb 2 is that bomb 1 wasn't enough to get them to stand down. No I think that the movie was a major condemnation of the Japanese government's obstenence and lack of care over their own people's lives. It also addresses the overall suffering caused by war.
