You shouldn't watch Shin Godzilla for Godzilla alone. He's not really the star of the film—Yaguchi and the rest of his human adversaries are. They credibly resist the end of the world with ingenuity and teamwork, making Shin Godzilla just as winningly optimistic as it is pleasurably eccentric.
So, yes, Shin Godzilla is dialogue-heavy, and sometimes it fails to make much sense. And after that knockout battle scene in the middle of the film, the end conflict is a little anticlimactic, especially for Western audiences used to a lone hero sacrificing themselves to save the day instead of the successful execution of a coordinated team effort.

"Shin Godzilla" (2016) é uma obra-prima do cinema kaiju, trazendo uma revitalização moderna do icônico Rei dos Monstros, Godzilla, para o público contemporâneo. Com direção magistral de Hideaki Anno e Shinji Higuchi, o filme oferece uma visão arrebatadora da ameaça que o gigantesco monstro representa para o Japão e o mundo.
A trama instigante se inicia com uma série de eventos misteriosos na Baía de Tóquio, criando um suspense magistral que mantém o público à beira dos assentos. A emergência do monstro desencadeia caos e destruição, apresentando um realismo tenso nas tentativas fracassadas de detê-lo.
O filme critica e satiriza a burocracia e ineficácia governamental, mostrando como essas falhas podem agravar crises. A lentidão da resposta e a interferência burocrática são retratadas de forma marcante, refletindo a realidade de situações de crise no mundo real.
A direção conjunta de Anno e Higuchi cria uma atmosfera claustrofóbica, mergulhando o público no caos. As cenas de pânico e caos são intensificadas pela fotografia, aumentando a sensação de vulnerabilidade e medo das pessoas em meio à destruição.
A representação das cenas militares demonstra pesquisa minuciosa, com uma abordagem precisa dos equipamentos e ações, conferindo autenticidade e realismo técnico às cenas de combate.
Os personagens são bem desenvolvidos, representando diferentes facetas da sociedade japonesa. O núcleo dos "sem-burocracia" simboliza a importância de inovação e trabalho em equipe diante de desafios. A união entre militares e políticos é ressaltada, destacando a relevância da cooperação em tempos de crise.
A representação de Godzilla é magnífica, apresentando uma estética grotesca e assustadora que o torna uma força da natureza imparável. O filme o retrata como uma vítima das ações humanas, adicionando complexidade emocional ao personagem.
A trilha sonora de Shiro Sagisu é fundamental para a experiência cinematográfica, transmitindo emoções e complementando a narrativa. A combinação de composições originais com melodias clássicas de Akira **** eleva a experiência a novas alturas.
"Shin Godzilla" vai além do gênero de monstros, sendo uma celebração da esperança e união da humanidade em momentos adversos. O filme reflete sobre a resiliência humana em crises e critica as falhas burocráticas e políticas. Com uma narrativa envolvente, personagens cativantes e representação memorável do Rei dos Monstros, é uma verdadeira obra-prima do cinema de kaiju, recomendada para fãs de Godzilla e apreciadores de filmes impactantes e emocionais.
Report
People talk non-stop at lightning speed, often while walking. The action sequences, underpinned by a loud and soppy symphonic score, actually provide a sense of respite, as Gojira methodically levels buildings and patiently releases streams of fire from his crimson throat.
If this fun but frequently exasperating new chapter in Godzilla’s never-ending story feels like a major anomaly, its eccentricities are what best allow it to channel the forward-thinking urgency of Honda’s original.
Coming off like a peculiar mash-up of The Host and Dr Strangelove, Shin Godzilla is weirdly paced but does add a new twist to the old formula.
It’s never stuffy – J-Rock guitar solos wail over science research montages – just a bit overlong and too involved in the judicial process.
Despite the movie's darker tone, there's still room for humor when you have rooms full of diplomats and scientists discussing how to contend with a "giant unidentified creature."
A great return for the only company that can make a Godzilla film right. Godzilla looks awesome and the climax was one of the best I've seen. If you want a modern Godzilla film, this is my top pick.

This was bad. They really tried but failed. 1) No enemy monster to fight. Only (in this case) a useless Japanese Self Defense Force (JSDF) being ordered by an inept PM who refused to make a decision unless you put a gun to his head. They tried but it was too little too late. The politics in this film were WAY overblown. We get it. Your politicians are old and feeble. The mutation special effects were a joke. It's like the movie makers spent every penny on special effects for this atomic breath and other attacks and decided that was good enough. Well..maybe for a 6 yr old it is. There were a couple laughs in there and a couple cool effects but overall it flopped. It was 50% bureaucracy, 25% action and 25% "why did they do that? or Why didn't they do anything?" Stay away from this one. Google "shin Godzilla ending ???" for another problem with the film.

95% painful exposition and 5% Godzilla. That pretty much sums it up. It's literally: Godzilla's on screen, actors are on-screen speed-reading their boring lines for 20 times the amount of time Godzilla was just on screen, rinse and repeat for 2 hours. I'm puzzled as to how anyone could enjoy this
