Monster of the Day #1450

Updated on October 17, 2016 By Ken Begg 6 Comments

Saw Shin Godzilla on Saturday, and liked it quite a bit. Oddly, considering the main complaint of the latest American Godzilla was that the star didn’t have enough screen time, this Godzilla might have had even less. Still, a very solid effort at a revisionist films all around.

    That picture makes the Big Guy look like he has psoriasis. Are the sores/whatever supposed to be from the radiation that made him?

    Stretch marks.

    Hmm, was thinking he looks sorta like ‘burning’ aka meltdown Godzilla from ‘Godzilla vs. Destroyer’.

    This is the only movie in years I’ve actually been looking forward to. Good to hear mostly favorable reviews from you and the Rev.

    He “evolves” (the word they use, but metamorphosis is more like it) over the course of the movie. The movie has a very different take on his biology. No spoilers, but I thought this was one of the more interesting aspects of this movie. They leave a lot of questions unanswered, presumably for future installments.

    The monster sequences are really great here (especially a night sequence that happens roughly in the middle), but there are not enough of them! Lots of political commentary and satire concerning the complicated bureaucracy. This is interesting up to a point, but eventually I was just waiting for them to get back to Godzilla!

  • Great flick. Well worth watching in theaters if you can. One of the best giant monster movies to come out of Japan in years.
