SHIN GODZILLA is a crushing disappointment of a GODZILLA movie with just one scene that links back to the classics of old. The rest is a long-winded and convoluted story of politicians, military and bureaucrats taking very fast about very little, and there's a massive dearth of the kind of good old fashioned monster mayhem we're looking for. Even the new Hollywood GODZILLA movies are better than this! The creature himself has been unwisely changed with multiple stages and a dodgy extending jaw, and although the CGI isn't too bad most of the time, there's very little action here. Just talk, talk and more talk with no characterisation, making for an utterly boring film.

No wait, that's not true. Actually this is as political as it gets. I mean you get served a movie from the perspective of what it does to national security and to Politicians and diplomatic stances. Even Americans get involved (a little bit, though they seem to be fluent in Japanese too) in this to an extent.

The movie has all the mayhem you'd expect it to have. But try to remember this is meant to be a sort of Origin story from a different perspective. So let's get physical ... I mean political. Although As you can imagine there is all sorts of mayhem. And while there is CGI it still has the nostalgia to it. Also relationships may not be front and center, but you still get the nature of what people are about. So while not perfect in any sense (that goes for Godzilla/Gojira too, especially at the start),this feels like in the same vain and spirit as the ones made many decades ago ...
