Just saw this for the first time, the rerelease was playing at a theatre near me.

What did I think of it?

Best atomic breath scene of all time. Also I like the wonky intermittent forms

I have zero interest or care about Godzilla but it felt like a 2 hour Angel attack from Evangelion so I loved it immensely

You thought it was annoying to have to read captions for dialogue and captions for the gook runes that kept appearing on screen every time they cut to a new location or a new character. So you stopped reading the gook rune captions.

End this thread. Let's make a new thread in 5 minutes.

Why did we never get a sequel!!!

>>213776746
Anno is too busy milking eva

>>213776746
watch shin ultraman lol

>>213776594
This. I knew it was Anno but I wasn't expecting it to just literally be Evangelion.

>>213776463 (OP)
More people saw the marvels than this piece of shit lmao

>>213776594
>it felt like a 2 hour Angel attack from Evangelion
I mean you're selling me hard on this movie now. Might watch it tonight. Someone should swap in evagalion music into the movie.

>>213776463 (OP)
>Wow, Minus One really WAS a melodramatic piece of shit

>>213778216
Minor spoilers
You won't actually need to swap the music in a lot of the scenes. There is literal Eva OST music in the movie.

>>213776463 (OP)
>American woman speaks English with a thick Japanese accent
When I was watching it there was a storm which caused a brief power outage so we had an intermission. It was fun

>>213776746
Because the only point of this was for Anno to flex and make a statement about government beauracracy. Don't get me wrong, it respected Godzilla and did his legacy justice, but it didn't have the trapping to be an international hit like Minus One

>>213778216
>Someone should swap in evagalion music into the movie.
Why? This literally plays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBSlo46UFks

I just saw it today too. Meh. Don't know what I expected, but it was pretty boring.

>>213778271
YEAH! That one main song that they kept playing over and over again. I'm sitting there like this is EVA music! It's just the drums though. I kept waiting for the rest of the instruments to join in

>>213778389
What you didn't expect was for half the film to be a satire on beauracracy and government incompetence in the face of natural disasters. But the movies been out for a while now so it's kinda on you for not knowing that

>government incompetence and bureaucracy

Was this really people's take away? It felt like the Japanese government in the movie acted pretty realistically and admirably if something like that really happened. Yes Japan likes meetings and faxing reports but they logically go through all the steps a government should take in response to a gigantic nuclear lizard. My take away was optimistic about institutions facing a great adversity not
>le government bad


Name one thing they actually do wrong?

>>213778216
if it wasn't for japan i wouldn't be laughing so wholeheartedly at this post, bless them

>>213778442
Yeah I went in blind. Didn't want to read up on it, just wanted to see it because it's Godzilla. Godzilla shooting the energy beams out of his back was pretty cool though.

>>213778558
it had a dry but very satirical view of government process.
constantly moving from one meeting to another and basically just carrying on the same conversation in a different room, etc.

>>213778582
It got more hilarious each time it happened. It was clearly the government leaders stalling making actual decisions out of anxiety, all the while people are dying and the city is getting leveled.

>>213778582
>>213778672

You can only say this if you weren't paying attention at all. Yes the first like 20 minutes they are scrambling to set up some sort of task force and chain of command to respond to a crisis with absolutely zero precedent (also figuring out wtf kind of crisis this is in the first place) and yes it's a funny sequence of the officials moving from meeting room to meeting room, but after the first attack the special task force is immediately established and that leads to gojira being defeated by the end.

Also I love that france helps save the day by blocking the americans and others who want to nuke toyko on the UN security council (I can think of many other times in international relations france dissented from the isre- American position)

>>213778683
I disagree. It was a prevailing theme through the whole thing, the japs only got their shit together in the last minute cause the movie had to be wrapped up. I think it was a realistic portrayal of how long it would take for an effective response to disaster to happen, and I don't think other governments would do much better, but japanese autism on display is always a treat

I'm convinced the reaction to how bad Satomi Ishihara's english completely stopped her from trying to speak english in public and film/shows ever again

>>213778827
I actually thought that was some kind of other meta commentary regarding Japanese tradition and culture when I watched it. No that doesn't make much logical sense but it was the only reason I could understand having an international diplomat with such bad pronunciation/engrish

>>213778558
>It felt like the Japanese government in the movie acted pretty realistically and admirably
That's only because you're a weeb who simps for anything japs do. He was clearly criticizing the japanese government

>>213778683
anno literally said he was making fun of the government retard

>>213779247
It's probably more because he's american. Anything less than the room being on fire and everybody being surrounded by piles of dead bodies doesn't register as a problem to them.

so that guy anno got to direct all these shin movies because the japanese are still gooning to evangelion?

>>213779350
Sorry him criticizing the japanese government triggers you so much baka senpai

Shin Godzilla>Shin Ultraman>Shin Kamen Rider

>>213779406
Criticizing the japanese government is fine, and Shin Godzilla does that.
Americans' just can't into subtlety, in media or in real life, so in their mind a 'satire' of an incompetent government means it's staffed by bumbling fat morons like homer simpson/peter griffin characters, and not actual real life problems.

>>213779475
Kamen felt super bloated to a non-fan but, like the others, it's a total love letter to the fans. Ultraman balanced this much, much better though.

>>213779475
What does 'shin' even mean in this context?

>>213778216
>Someone should swap in evagalion music into the movie.
Evangelion music literally plays during the movie

>>213779553
New/Revival/True

I assume it just means "New Godzilla" but I'm sure it has a deeper allusion than that

>>213779553
Shin in on context of media is new or refresh
>>213776463 (OP)
damn I would overpay the cost of a ticket to rewatch it in theatres. this movie is the only movie i have a 60GB highest birate copy of. every other time I download 720p.

It's Neo-Neo

I bet you're a fan of Death Stranding.

It was great up to the big battle scene. I wish more battle scenes played out how they did it. Showing the vehicles and weapons with giant captions on what they are was a nice touch. The government satire after the battle just wasn’t the same. The heckin science battle was good liked all the teamwork and humanity jazz. One more battle would’ve been nice but at least it’s open to a sequel. And for zoomers that don’t understand the government satire, this movie was made soon after the Fukushima disaster.
