Joel S Very good classic Monster Movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/22 Full Review Yakobu The classic that started it all is more than just a monster flick. Godzilla was first intended as much more than a scary monster. This film was released less than a decade after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The people who made and performed in this movie lived through the war, and the emotions are strongly felt in this very poignant, powerful drama. This important and beautiful film is not to be missed. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/21 Full Review johnathan Best classic Godzilla in 4k Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/04/21 Full Review Nathaniel S After over 30 films this is still the absolute BEST Godzilla movie ever made. It beautifully re-enacts the real life horrors that Japan experienced during and after WW2. When Godzilla attacks Japan it looks exactly like the firebombings of Japan from 1944-1945 when America leveled 69 Japanese cities by dropping hundreds of thousands of firebombs on each city. And after Godzilla's attack on the city, the scenery of Japan leveled mirrors what Japan looked like after WW2 and after the 2 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And the opening scene also re-enacts the Lucky Dragon No. 5 incident (also known as Operation Castle Bravo) where in the early hours of the morning on March 1st, 1954 the US tested their new hydrogen bomb which hit the Japanese fishing vessel The Lucky Dragon No. 5 and killed it's occupants by showering them with intense radiation. If you have never seen this film, as a massive Godzilla fan I HIGJLY recommend watching the original Japanese version from 1954 with English subtitles (especially now that you know the history of the film). After multiple films and 70 yers, this is still the best Godzilla film ever made! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Audience Member 反戦反核のメッセージがとても強く。1954年の映画とは思えないほどのクオリティで人間ドラマもとても熱いです！ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Audience Member This is an incredible film for it’s time, a tale of post WW2 Japan dealing with the impacts of the atomic bomb, a group have to make the decision of detonating a weapon that will destroy the monster Godzilla, but in the process potentially creating a greater danger to humanity in the form of the oxygen destroyer. The effects are incredible for it’s time and the story is clear and easy to follow, and the actors thrive in their roles. The only real issue is that the pacing is a little slow a times, but that problem goes away in the 2nd act. Truly one of the greatest movies in history Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
