What to Know

Critics Consensus

Godzilla Resurgence offers a refreshingly low-fi -- and altogether entertaining -- return to the monster's classic creature-feature roots.

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

What Shin Godzilla does offer is one major counter: Godzilla's real home is Japan, and anything else feels like a glitzy vacation.

Rated: 3/5

Tara Brady

Irish Times

Thirty-one films and 63 years later, the monster has seldom looked better. The final shot will haunt your dreams.

Rated: 4/5

Owen Williams

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 3/5

Grant Watson

Fiction Machine

It is a film less about giant monsters and a lot more about the inefficiencies of bureaucracy and the obfuscation of politics. I loved it.

Rated: 8/10

Gone With The Twins

Though a notable experiment in furthering the legacy of this famous movie monster, it’s very far from solid entertainment.

Rated: 4/10

Tom Cassidy

Common Sense Media

The movie's cast of Japanese A-listers lifts an already strong idea to create a touching, inspirational, and downright thrilling 21st-century monster movie.
