- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: Godzilla Minus One does everything one can expect from a blockbuster in an ongoing franchise. From its terrorizing spectacle that balances surprisingly emotional storytelling with its characters, fans of the character won’t feel disappointed with what Yamazaki brought to please everybody.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: Sure, the big guy is impressive to watch, tossing battleships like javelins and, of course, ravaging Tokyo, but the real action is people recovering from the traumas, collective and individual, of the war.
- Marilyn Ferdinand @ Film Freedonia
- Excerpt: Multi-award-winning director and screenwriter Takashi Yamazaki is well known for his visual effects, making him a natural to bring Godzilla back at Toho. But he has done much more than create first-rate action sequences. He has brought the story back to its original time period and reflected on the physical, mental, and emotional state of his country following its defeat in World War II.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: This kaiju movie simply crushes it.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: The king of all monsters gets a period-piece reboot, and it’s the closest the series has gotten since to the sincere, unironic horrors of the 1954 original. No comfy escape from terrible reality here.
- [New] | Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Sometimes less is more and Godzilla Minus One proves that with it’s endearing story about family, trauma, and a radioactive kaiju.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Possibly the best Godzilla movie since the original.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: The real lesson isn’t about making a little money look good, though. The lesson is that you don’t need a lot of money to be good.
- Manuel São Bento @ FandomWire
- Excerpt: Godzilla Minus One strikes an outstanding balance between compelling character building, a thematically rich narrative, and two hours of gargantuan entertainment, ultimately becoming a noteworthy addition to the monster film subgenre.
- Katie Smith-Wong @ Flickfeast
- Excerpt: Yamazaki’s thrilling and occasionally poignant instalment not only reminds us why Godzilla is a cinematic icon but also brings back the classic monster movie to the big screen.
