Godzilla Minus One Review: Yamazaki’s Kaiju Entry Is One Of The Franchise’s Best

Since its first appearance onscreen in 1954, the kaiju monster Godzilla has taken the film industry by storm. While some of the earlier entries in the franchise gave us quality blockbusters, more recent films failed to live up to their epic potential. Godzilla Minus One, the 37th Godzilla film, brings the franchise back to glory in both quality and entertainment. Japanese director Takashi Yamazaki takes us back to the beginning — a post-war Japan, where the horrors of the atomic bomb yield a new crisis in the form of a gigantic monster that won’t go down easily. If there was ever a time to rally behind a Godzilla film, it’s now with Godzilla Minus One.
