Shin Godzilla (Godzilla Resurgence!)
Anime Relations:
Yu☆Gi☆Oh!
Since I reviewed the other Godzilla movies I've watched I think it's fair I review the new Godzilla movie. And Boy does Shin Godzilla deserve a review!
Its interesting how Godzilla got an American and a Japanese reboot within Just a couple of years of each other. The American one definitely did better than the original American "Zilla". Shin Godzilla puts that one to shame! By how much? Shin Godzilla is the top selling Godzilla in Japan of all time! That's how much.
**WARNING SPOILERS**
From start to end Shin Godzilla is an entertaining watch, it keeps you hooked and going. Except maybe the very first 3 minutes(opening credits big surprise) there was not a moment I did not enjoy watching Godzilla. Shin Godzilla went in a unique direction by having the movie start out with like a Proto Godzilla. For the first half of the movie it's all about Godzilla slowly evolving into final form Godzilla. And I have to say this is the most terrifying Godzilla I have ever seen from the moment he slithers up onto land all hacking up tons of blood untill he's fully formed with his beady little sunken in eyes HE..IS.. HORRIFYING. The moment that got me the most is when the full military might of the Japanese lay down on Godzilla. The tanks barrage and then they shoot missiles Bam Bam Bam. Godzilla is engulfed in a cloud of smoke. The Japanese are celebrating and then Godzilla just leans out of the smoke all terrifying with his beady eyes and jagged smile. That has gotta be one of my favorite sequences the whole movie. The movie itself is just all-around entertaining.
I have to say the acting in this Godzilla is good. I don't think it was overly cheesy, it wasn't overly dramatic either. Like I feel like the acting was on point. The soundtrack was pretty good as well. It generally flows smoothly with whats happening.
There's a point in the movie where Godzilla just goes away they didn't beat him he just goes away and the Japanese are acting all normal again all the damage wasn't that bad and there's a happy little song playing at the same time. I just found it kind of funny since Godzilla comes back a few minutes later and just starts wrecking stuff up again.
The overall look of the movie is amazing. There is a perfect mix of practical effects and CGI. Everything just looks so real in beautiful. The overall reactions of the people and the layout of the government just makes the movie in general feel more realistic.
My final thoughts, everything about Shin Godzilla meshes well and works great. Shin Godzilla is defiantly my fav Godzilla movie thus far. It's as if the Japanese seem to have retorted "Pfft you think that's a good Godzilla Americans? We will show you!" And damn did they ever!
