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.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 2, 2024

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

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 20, 2024

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.

| Jul 1, 2020

"Godzilla Resurgence" is a great mainstream film, and probably the most meaningful, visually impressive, and well directed entry in the series.

A special experience. [Full review in Spanish]

Shin Godzilla is the Dunkirk of Godzilla movies.

| Apr 16, 2019

The human characters fall flat, and the undeniably dodgy special effects will put many off, but it's an entertaining slice of B-movie nonsense that recalls the earliest days of the iconic franchise.

Movie Review: Shin Godzilla

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 9, 2019

...quite possibly the best Godzilla film since the first one in 1954.

| Original Score: A | Dec 27, 2018

Overall, this is a great update to the franchise and I cannot wait to see where they go next with it.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 9, 2018

The famed and humongous rumble-and-tumble reptile makes a grand return courtesy of Toho Studios reviving the catastrophic critter in writer/co-director Hideaki Anno's and Shinji Higuchi's monster mash offering 'Godzilla Resurgence' (aka 'Shin Godzilla')

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2018

With its satirical and topical humour, glorious scenes of destruction and a fresh coat of paint, Shin Godzilla [Godzilla Resurgence] lived up to the buzz and exceeded my expectations in every single way.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 31, 2018

The bottom line is that Shin Godzilla is a must-see for any fan of Godzilla movies, but also for people who are simply interested in where Japanese pop culture is headed in the 21st century.

Seamlessly blends majestic spectacle with such resounding soul.

Thus, Shin Godzilla acquires the epic dimensions of a brutally and joyfully brainless monster movie... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 29, 2018

Shin Godzilla is a film filled with far more government meetings than Godzilla action. A lack of compelling characters and an abundance of bureaucracy make Godzilla's big screen return a let-down.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 30, 2017

Audiences may feel let down by the visualisation of the monster.... Until you realise that's exactly what it is -- a modern tribute to the thoroughly Japanese Godzillas that have gone before.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 5, 2017

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2017

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2017
