An amazing recreation of a movie close to my heart. The right libertys were taken while maintaining the integrity of Gojira. #KINGOFTHEMONSTERS

The movie was lacking in what could have been much more epic for 2016.

Perfect amount of political satire and awesome city destroying Godzilla action. I've never been so stressed out in a movie

The U.S. version was a lot better than this version.

The director cleverly fused the giant monster genre with a political drama

Part force of nature. Part political drama. Part pure kaiju camp. Might be too talky for some.

If you don't mind a lot of talking and love Godzilla or monster movies then this is a great watch.

If the film often takes an aggressive approach to driving this central thesis home, Shin Godzilla manages to negotiate a difficult balance between delivering the monster movie thrills promised by its central creature and a film that utilizes those thrills in service of something more substantial.

Shin Godzilla ushers in a new age for Godzilla, and a welcome one at that. It’s not perfect, but it’s ready to ask big questions and also demand thoughtful answers. In that sense, it’s one of the most valuable Godzilla movies to come along in years, decades even.

If this fun but frequently exasperating new chapter in Godzilla’s never-ending story feels like a major anomaly, its eccentricities are what best allow it to channel the forward-thinking urgency of Honda’s original.
