You can use every adjective imaginable to describe GODZILLA MINUS ZERO. Its sheer scope finds a way to surpass them all. But the biggest surprise? Takashi Yamazaki somehow takes a Godzilla film of this magnitude and turns it into such an emotional family drama that “a Godzilla movie has never made me cry” can officially be crossed off my bingo card. A Kaiju-sized W of a sequel! #NYFF64 #NYFF #Godzilla
"Godzilla Minus Zero" director Takashi Yamazaki says securing the film's R rating was “essential to the film":
“Logically, as a studio — and even as a director — you want as many people from the general public to be able to see your film. So, an R-rating might seem like a barrier to entry, and conversations about, ‘Hey, could we have not gotten this down to PG-13?’ of course are going to happen. In spite of that, though, there were certain scenes that, for me as a director, were so essential to the film. Censoring it or cutting it was just not an option for me.”

I saw GODZILLA MINUS ZERO earlier this week. It's probably the best Godzilla movie ever made. The special effects are stunning. The story is soul-crushing. The WW2 symbolism is scathing. I hope Takashi Yamazaki never stops making Godzilla movies.
GODZILLA MINUS ZERO takes everything the first film did well and does it again but bigger and better. A rare sequel that outdoes its predecessor in every way. More emotional, more carnage, more tension, and more brutality. The scale of this thing is massive, with a creative and smart use of visual effects that never betrays or overwhelms the human story being told at its center. Loved the opening, the bi-plane sequence and the final epic kaiju confrontation. Wasn’t expecting to ugly cry by the end. Everything blockbuster filmmaking should be.
Godzilla Minus Zero: better than Godzilla Minus One in almost every way (especially re: thematic coherence & special fx). another classic melodrama with occasional monsters, now with bone-shaking IMAX spectacle and Ghidorah being a HUGE asshole
