Thank you curious cat, our Marble winner from July for this reaction!

This is my first Godzilla movie, but I know it's a big creature, so I wasn't completely clueless going into this 🤣

What a great movie to start the Godzilla franchise, it makes me want to see more. I watched this in Japanese with English subs, which is the way that I prefer to watch foreign language movies. I love seeing a movie in its original language, which I'm not sure how it would do as a reaction since it may be harder to follow along for those watching the edit.

I like that it wasn't just a humans vs monster, there were side stories and a great bunch of characters to build up the story.

For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie.  You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again

Thank you so much everyone for your support, I couldn't do this without you 🥰

FULL LENGTH REACTION | Godzilla Minus One (2023) [2024]

Reminder that you need your own copy of the movie to watch along with me since this is solely my reaction. The video is there so you can have an idea when the scene changes in case you need to sync up, but it is HEAVILY blurred so I don't have any copyright issues. Enjoy!!

The original was good, followed by a string of meh ‘Godzilla vs. randoms’, followed by a few reboots (one of which stared Mathew Broderick 🙄). The latest series of five films, which started in 2014, is fairly entertaining popcorn fare which pits him against/with King Kong to save humanity from various kaiju—the CGI is good/excellent (and IMHO better than the 50s-60s man in a rubber suit kicking over tiny model buildings). What sets this one apart from the latest batch is Godzilla is not here to protect mankind. And true to the original, he was a metaphor for nuclear devastation (the black rain following his atomic breath in the attack on ginza).

This was a fun reaction to a great movie. I don't know if there can be a spoiler for a movie you've already seen, but if so then this might be one: the director has confirmed that the black splotch growing on Noriko's neck at the very end of the movie is a "Godzilla cell", a plot device used in some of the earlier movies to explain how new kaiju (giant monsters) got created. As for my favorite Godzilla movie, this is probably it. The original would probably be second, although you have to be careful. (Very minor spoilers for the original...) The original comes in two different versions, a Japanese cut and an American cut. And no, the American cut is not just an English language dub of the Japanese cut. I slightly prefer the American cut, but both are very good. The recent American remakes are decent popcorn flicks that are fun to watch, but I'm not sure I'd call them great movies.

This was an experience in the theater. When Godzilla created a mushroom cloud high into the troposphere it was so chilling... I was stunned and I too was clutching at the air like Shikishima 😮😯

That scene is amazing!! I didn't know Godzilla could do that

I haven’t seen the original so this is easily my favourite Godzilla movie. The 2014 one was ok but not what I’d hoped for from Gareth Edwards (I’m a huge fan of his other “creature feature” Monsters). For me personally, these sort of movies succeed or fail based on the characters, not the monster, although an epic electric blue nuclear breath helps. The beautifully written and acted roles are why I especially liked this one. I’m assuming the “dun dun duuuuuurn” music is a throwback to the original too.

Your question about the destroyers bumping: in order to wrap the cable of gas canisters, battleship shells, and floaty mattresses around Gozilla, the ships had to cross the cable. This means that one had to go either over or under the cable from the other one. Since Yukikaze was larger than Hibiki, she had the crane. The size of the crane was a trade-off between what they could carry without tipping the ship over and how high they had to lift the cable to clear Hibiki's tophamper (superstructure + masts, antennas, etc.). This dictates how close they have to get. I think the ships were rendered fantastically. 100x better than certain unnamed, lazy-assed, American-made WW2 movies that wasted more than twice "Godzilla Minus One"'s total budget (US$15 mil) just on CGI alone. And the attention to details like the Imperial Chrysanthemum crest on the prows and the way that their deep ride and low freeboard had the decks awash when at even moderate speed was great.
