This is like that one episode of Evangelion, where Misato has to convince everyone to let her shut down Neo-Tokyo to power her missile, but for 2 hours. Not complaining I love it.Love the more political heavy scenes while the actual Godzilla scenes drag a bit to me... It's really good, Anno.

This film is sure a satire of bureaucracy, but what I like about that is that they still won't paint a direct "Bad Guy" (other than Godzilla himself of course) like so many other similar films would just point fingers to the ones on top. Everyone is clearly a guy just doing what they think is best even if it's short-sighted and poorly planned.Also kind of amusing that the guys who solve the problem, in the end, are the reject autists. Not saying that to be mean, Hideaki Anno is autistic (he is on record saying anyone who works in Animation (where he mainly works) almost has to be autistic.) and you can see these kinds of parallels in his characters. Look at Evangelion's Shinji, Rei, and Asuka for example.When push comes to shove those are the kind of guys who are probably going to find the answers, the kind of obsessed people who NEED to find the answers, not for any personal gain but because they won't be satisfied without it.

Really hard not to sound mean when saying that, so apologies in advance.

An unknown accident occurs in Tokyo Bay's Aqua Line, which causes an emergency cabinet to assemble. All of the sudden, a giant creature immediately appears, destroying town after town with its landing reaching the capital. This mysterious giant monster is named "Godzilla". Horrible meetings between boring people, boring and mediocre action, horrendous acting and the worst of them all? Some of the worst cgi effects i have ever seen in my life that make the 1998 Godzilla look like The Godfather in front of this garbage fire of a movie. (0/10)

Being a longtime fan of the series, this was a breath fresh of air than the usual focus more on the action sequences with the beast(s). This is methodical, thinking man's journey into what could happen if a natural(or unnatural) disaster would occur. What really made me enjoy this even more is the tension filled discussions on how to take down this monster; along with Japan's history of war & natural disasters. Great script, superb CGI, and a killer soundtrack rounds out this seldom mentioned diamond in the rough.

Shin godzilla is one of the best godzilla movie i've seen since godzilla 1954this is a really different take on the gojira series we may be introduced now to the shin franchise since showa , millenium and heisimost of the cast are the same actors from the live action ATTACK ON TITAN movies like hirioki hasegawa who played shikishima , satomi isihara as hanji or hange , jun kunimura as kubal also had a minor role in killbill vol I
this time the cast are portrayed as meeting members who organize how to kill godzilla . they are great actors and it's cool this time around to see how the japanese government deal with the king of the monsters back to gojira he is different ,massive and his height is supposedly over (389 ft) larger than the colossal titan he is powerful as well which he is now able to have atomic breath on his spines and tail instead of the mouth he has 3 forms at the beginning which is strange and new for godzilla
the action scenes could be better but since the jssdf (japanese security defense forces) are afraid to destroy the buildings is better of to focus on godzilla after the previous toho installments
soundtrack is really epic as well sounds like from an orchestra or plays one of them can also be heard from neon genesis evangelion also directed by hideaki anno
again i'd definitely recommend this to those who want to watch the godzilla movies or watch the old ones i'd recommend a few like godzilla 1954 , godzilla vs king ghidorah etc
