Shin Godzilla

What Shin Godzilla does offer is one major counter: Godzilla's real home is Japan, and anything else feels like a glitzy vacation.

Thirty-one films and 63 years later, the monster has seldom looked better. The final shot will haunt your dreams.

Coming off like a peculiar mash-up of The Host and Dr Strangelove, Shin Godzilla is weirdly paced but does add a new twist to the old formula.

This enjoyable but dialogue-heavy addition to the Godzilla family takes aim at the inert, top-heavy bureaucracy of Japanese government.

There are lots of very shrewd and amusing scenes showing Japan's bickering and sclerotic bureaucracy.

Bonkers in all the wrong ways.

It is a film less about giant monsters and a lot more about the inefficiencies of bureaucracy and the obfuscation of politics. I loved it.

Though a notable experiment in furthering the legacy of this famous movie monster, it’s very far from solid entertainment.

The movie's cast of Japanese A-listers lifts an already strong idea to create a touching, inspirational, and downright thrilling 21st-century monster movie.

It's Godzilla versus the paper pushers-and Godzilla doesn't stand a chance.
