When crowning ‘King of the Monsters’, Godzilla will always shoot to the top of the shortlist. Debuting in Ishiro Honda’s cautionary 1954 disaster movie, the behemoth immediately unleashed its potential to become an iconic screen presence. Since then, a franchise has thrived, not just in Japan but in the US too. Most recently, audiences have been flocking to marvel at the jaw-dropping spectacle of Godzilla Minus One.

Godzilla Minus One movie earns acclaim
Stomping into theaters on Friday, December 1st 2023, Godzilla Minus One, a kaiju movie blending action and drama.
It’s set in 1946 and centers on a group of ex-military survivors who rally together in an attempt to stop Godzilla from destroying Japan. Tackling themes of trauma and loss in postwar Japan, it’s an emotionally affecting experience while also delivering the thrills you’d want and expect from a giant monster movie.
It currently has a near-perfect 97/100 critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, determined from 86 reviews. Not only that, but it also stands proud with a 98/100 from audiences, based on over 1000 verified ratings.
“Godzilla Minus One is the best Godzilla movie in 70 years,” one fan gushed on Twitter/X. “It’s a genuine masterpiece of character and story standing beside the original film. This is THE modern Godzilla movie for those who want the spirit of the original but has its own heart.”
Another championed it as “the best Godzilla movie since the original. A deeply emotional, character-driven thrill ride that will captivate you from the first frame. Godzilla is once again a terrifying force of nature to be reckoned with. It will blow you away.”
“Best Godzilla movie since the original,” another similarly praised, “and a full circle for the King of the Monsters. I have to see it again ASAP, it is glorious!”
Emphasizing the titular titan himself, one argued that this incarnation “was truly the most terrifying Godzilla I’ve ever seen. The film exceeded my expectations. Character storylines were among the best in any Monster film. Regret, redemption, family, and purpose are some of the themes the film explored at its finest.”
Paired with Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters on Apple TV+ and a trailer for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, it’s a good time to be a fan.
Godzilla Minus One is excellent. One of the best films ever made and greatest Godzilla movie since the 1954 original. If you love film, the art form, love to write or make movies this is an example of how to do it perfectly. (10/10). #GodzillaMinusOne

Is Godzilla Minus One in English?
No, Godzilla Minus One is in its original Japanese language but theaters in the US are offering English subtitles so English-speaking audiences will have no trouble whatsoever watching.
The movie was produced by Toho Studios and Robot Communications, neither of which have announced an English dub release of the movie.
It was written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, serving as Toho’s 33rd Godzilla movie, as well as the fifth in the franchise’s Reiwa era. Central stars include Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, and more.
Does Godzilla Minus One have end-credit scene?
Godzilla Minus One does not include a mid, post, or end-credit scene, so viewers can feel comfortable with exiting the theater once the credits roll for fear of missing out on an additional stinger.
Nevertheless, audiences have already begun voicing their hopes for a follow-up to the film with director Takashi returning to the helm after being commended for such a great job on Minus One.
Godzilla Minus One is now in theaters.
