Toho Godzilla returns "Godzilla Minus One"
- Thread starter CessnaDriver
- Start date
Saw this when it came to the US the first weekend. 10 awesome minutes of godzilla action throughout. Best ever put to film.
But the rest of it was a snoozefest for me. Had trouble staying awake through it. Maybe because it wasn't dubbed and I got
tired of reading the subs. Shin Godzilla was a turd to me too because of it. Granted, even the Godzilla scenes in Shin were
pretty bad. Just a poor design for me.

Somehow it feels like there should be a scuba tank and a harpoon gun in this scene.

I’m SO glad that you posted that. I love reading books. HATE reading movies and TV.
I’ll wait until it’s streaming.
Also, what is the “minus one” all about?
It's a bad translation. It's a prequel, so it's counting backwards. Sort of the reverse of "2.0"
I'm seeing showtimes for Godzilla Minus One Minus Color. 
Not me. When I was a kid, I thought it meant something but early on I realized it was just another marketing apparatus in the guise of "critical acclaim". The Oscars have about as much legitimacy as a high school popularity contest.
Still, would have been nice for Godzilla to get more eyes on it.
I agree with all of the above about the Oscars, but there's one more element to it. The Oscars are also a "sport" to those who are playing in it. The participants have competed against each other all year and are seeking to win the prize over the others. They have delicate egos, and seek validation from their peers. So I assure you, the Oscars are VERY important to the nominees themselves. And like any sport, winning an Oscar opens the doors to all kinds of other endorsement deals and job opportunities. They care.
The problem is that as a sport, the Oscars are more crooked and fixed than baseball.

It's true. For guys like Nolan and Scorsese it doesn't really matter but for a lot of the technical categories, it helps those nominees' careers tremendously, you're right.
So there you go, a bridge too far, judging the fans.
Some of us love the movie industry more than others, and to put us all in a box for seeing things maybe a little differently than you do is insulting and inappropriate.

Sorry, but loving an "industry" for the sake of the industry is dumb. Enjoying good movies is fine. Enjoying all movies, just because they exist is not.
You do you though.
Never said anything of the sort. I don't enjoy all movies because they exist. But I do appreciate all movies for existing, because bad movies help us understand what it takes to get a good movie.
I don't love the industry for the sake of the industry. I love the film industry because of its contributions to skills, jobs, the arts, storytelling, diversion, and yes, even its cultural and industrial influence (such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Trek influencing tech design). And to my very own enjoyment of life.
So if that makes me "dumb", "not fine" in your book, and means I have "problems", so be it. But I will indeed take issue with being insulted as such. I don't know why judging and insulting people for what they like makes you feel better; you do you though.
Like this movie so much, I'm seeing it (B.W version )a third time in the cinemas. I rewatched it again last night and booked another screening for tomorrow as soon as it finished.
There's only two movies I've seen in the theaters more than once in what could be the last 10 years and they all happened the end of last year for two movies: Boy and the Heron and Godzilla: Minus One.

Yup. Those two (along with Top Gun: Maverick and Shin Godzilla) are the only films I've seen multiple times in the past decade as well.
I've watched Minus One twice (would have been more but scheduling didn't always work out). I'm planning on seeing Minus Color at least twice if I can. Boy and the Heron I had to watch both dub and sub.
