Preliminary Spoiler

In Japan, radiation creates monsters (Godzilla). In America, radiation creates superheroes. It's almost like Japan and America have very different narratives surrounding nuclear fallout. If we think really really hard, we might know why this is.

Anyway, this animated Gojira 2nd movie is better than Marvel's Avengers and you should feel bad for not being weeb enough to realize its superiority. We have better written story, superior storytelling, way less CGI, characters who serve other purposes beyond being marketing baits, and most importantly, we are not watching pg13 rated shonen movie which Marvel Cinematic Universe represents with its content. Ask yourself the question "Why would ...

This was a major improvement from the first film. As an avid fan of kaiju films, this was an exciting movie! The story was so well done and intriguing, I was hooked for the entire hour and 40-minute ride!

The whole story about the Hotua and their obvious connection to Mothra was insane! (The "dust"/"scale" on their skin, and what they used to heal the humans, probably scales from the dead body of Mothra herself!) It will be interesting to see if her egg(s) hatch and larva come out to either combat Godzilla or Ghidorah (What a welcome surprise, but it wasn't unexpected too much!). This ...

We all know Netflix has an abundance of money, allowing them to undercut the cinema industry and cable television with their bombardment of original content. With over 700 original movies/TV shows being released this year, Netflix has decided that 30 of those will be anime-related. Capturing a significant/growing portion of the population who is dedicated to this Japanese genre of entertainment. That being said, however, the sudden influx of new anime content doesn’t necessarily mean we, as the public, will be receiving a quality product, as it seems that the Americanization of anime has — unfortunately — become a trend.

If this were ...

"Descended or not, they're not an evolution more like a new generation."

Part of me really wants to like this trilogy but it's making it incredibly difficult due to how shocking the quality of the actual story is. The positive stuff from the previous adventure carries over, like the music and animation but dear god has it just nose-dived into pure angst.

Following the events of Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters, the Aratrum is unable to contact Haruo and the rest after their encounter with the original Godzilla. The Captain orders the Aratrum's withdrawal if drones fail to find survivors within 48 hours. Haruo reunites with some ...

If the first one is full of action scenes, the sequel is full of dialogues. The development of the story begins here. If you have seen both Pacific Rim movies, they are similar to these anime. Small summary: Humanity has lost to Godzilla and now are the wanderers of space. After many years, they return to Earth to retake the home planet.

The prequel was a masterpiece. It showed how can the humanity fight powerful monsters. Full of action scenes and the like. I will not spoil anything from the first movie. Just watch it yourself.

Now for the review:

The first scenes was a borefest, full of ...

The story is fine. I still wish this could've been a full anime series instead of three movies because there is a lot of world-building without fully using it. Things are brought up without needing those new elements in the story. If it were a full anime series, we could spend more time with those things rather than using a tiny bit of them as plot devices. I also disliked the main character. I dislike main characters that are emotional and value their own things over the things of other people. I feel like this movie has the main character do the opposite of growth. ...

Well, that was a hell of a lot better than the first film. Where the first film lacked any kind of real suspense or emotional gravitas, the second film made up for that in spades. This film pretty much rests on a question that is both spiritual and ethical: "Does one become a monster in order to defeat a monster?". The answer to this question is incredibly dramatic and powerful. And, of course, full of explosions.

Again, the animation on this movie is beautiful for 3D, especially in the final battle scenes. The only thing lacking is character design, ...

I will admit, I was never and will never be a fan of the largely popular franchise Godzilla. God knows how many times they will recycle the story to grab some more cash. But man, even so, this movie is so exciting to watch and is completely better than the first movie Netflix released.

The story takes off from the first movie's ending when most of the human's tropes have been wiped out by the almighty Godzilla. Seemingly all hope has lost but that's not the case for our main character, Sasaki Haruo, who by accident found out about a kind of human still survive on ...

If you read my review of the first Godzilla movie then you would know I am a pretty big nerd of the Godzilla Franchise. I have always loved a good Kaiju movie! If you enjoyed the first Godzilla Planet of Monsters then you will certainly like enjoy this continuation of the story. Just like the other movie the story is what it is. This movie is not going to change the anime world as we know it but it is a fun movie to watch. The story can get a little confusing toward the end but it all works out and the action more than ...

(This review is valid for the entire Godzilla trilogy, with some slight changes at the end of each one, for each respective film)
So much potential out of the window, the premise of a Godzilla movie / anime does not have to be complex to be good, after all, what we want to see are giant monsters fighting, that's something cool, remembering, It's GODZILLA, do not confuse like reflective works like Monster, Shigatsu, Code Geas, right then. To summarize the story revolves around our planet earth having been dominated by Godzilla, causing humans to be forced to flee into space, and accompanying the attempt to retake ...
