Jared Mobarak

The Film Stage

It either goes too far or not far enough. And it relies so heavily on the deus ex machina of it all (letting the film’s characters acknowledge its existence) that watching them repeatedly attempt to use human ingenuity becomes a futile endeavor...

Rated: C

Christopher Cross

Goomba Stomp

It’s a tonal nightmare that, like the kaiju corpse no one wants to deal with, leaves a rotten stench in the air.

Psychocinematography

Satoshi Miki’s What To Do With Dead Kaiju delivers on all fronts. What could have been a narrative that could not fulfill the promise of its interesting premise is turned into an extremely well-structured genre-blend.

The Straits Times (Singapore)

The comedy-adventure centres on the disaster response. Despite the promising premise, the film is at once hectic and plodding.

Rated: 2/5

Eye for Film

Ultimately failing to live up to the promise of its premise, What To Do With The Dead Kaiju is itself disintegrating from the start. It will leave you longing for a remake.

Rated: 2/5

Kyle Anderson

Nerdist

It has a lot to enjoy for people for whom Godzilla movies are second nature. The jokes on the genre land super hard, but they land just as well if you mistrust government red tape.

Rated: 3.5/5
