I don't know if this goes here but I finally watched Shin Godzilla. I'll try to keep this short since this is a movie and one that is long out already, but I liked it, even though I fully expected not to.
It's a fantastic catastrophe movie, I don't even know much about the genre but I imagine that if you watch it and are legitimately terrified then they did something right. I mean shit, when Godzilla got really going and when they had their final plan to stop him underway I couldn't help but think how damn awful all of this is.
It's not a feeling I usually have with Godzilla because I prefer the more campy and fun iterations but since this goes more in line with the first movie I think it works.
Yeah, the whole political talk and the constant subtitled exposition for every fart which enters the point of view is annoying, but I think it adds to the experience like you're watching a real broadcast, a documentary or you're really there.
I was surprisingly not bothered by Godzilla's new origin as well, even though I absolutely prefer the Heisei one, but I could accept it for what it is, same with the overall design. I still hate it but in the movie, I could tolerate it.
I think it's worth a watch if you can catch it on a stream or something, Godzilla fans should definitely watch it, not all will like it but it's something new which worked for me personally.
Next time I want something stupid and cheesy again though, with some real suits and less CGI. For me, Godzilla is still all about Japanese adults in rubber suits beating the everlasting crap out of each other. I found Ultraman as a side-fix but I need some real Godzilla action again sometime in the future!
