Shin Godzilla (2016)
7/10
Extremely good Godzilla moments, not so great human moments
4 April 2021
While I don't mind movies that focus on dialogue, this one however has too much bureaucracy-talk. I get it, they went for a realistic aproach, the movie criticises Japanese politics... But they could have done it a bit better. Also, I wasn't very satisfied with how they handled Maki's story.

The acting was pretty good.

The dialogue was a bit confusing and I thought the characters were speaking a bit too fast (especially if you don't understand Japanese and have to read the subtitles). Also, maybe they should have skip the English lines.

Godzilla, as I said, is fantastic. At first, his (googly) eyes are a little strange but overall he is absolutely terrifying!

The special effects and soundtrack are great. The ending, however, is a bit anticlimactic.

And I really liked the final shot, even though I'm not sure I fully understood its meaning (I guess it's another reference to nuclear danger, but it could be something more related to the story)
