Make way for the ultimate homage to one of the most enduring legends of the big screen - Godzilla! The King of the Monsters is back in Tokyo for a city-crushing crusade that speaks to the very roots of the world-renowned franchise. It's a peaceful day in Japan when a strange fountain of water erupts in the bay, causing panic to spread among government officials. At first, they suspect only volcanic activity, but one young executive dares to wonder if it may be something different... something alive. His worst nightmare comes to life when a massive, gilled monster emerges from the deep and begins tearing through the city, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. As the government scrambles to save the citizens, a rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster's weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side - the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the world is about to evolve right before their very eyes. (FUNimation)

5% de la prise de vue de Godzilla est consacré aux plans lointains, où il est situé dans son environnement plus large, ce qui crée une atmosphère tendue. Les plans de près, surtout dans la première partie, sont ridicules, car Godzilla a l'air complètement différent dans la première moitié du film par rapport à la dernière. Ce film est encore très loin derrière la version numérique hollywoodienne de Godzilla. On dirait que les Japonais ne veulent pas s'éloigner du style traditionnel de la bête qui n'a pas d'expression faciale et peut seulement ouvrir sa bouche et cracher du feu ou un laser. Les 95% du film restants consistent en des interviews de nouveaux personnages politiques, militaires et scientifiques, qui cherchent à découvrir l'identité de la créature et plus tard à parvenir à son élimination. Les interviews sont montées rapidement, essayant de montrer de la manière la plus réaliste possible comment se déroulerait la gestion de la situation. Cette partie majoritaire du film est étonnamment divertissante (plaisir coupable) et suscite de la curiosité. Avec un gros budget et une ambition de blockbuster.

La nouvelle approche des Japonais envers leur monstre le plus célèbre n'est certainement pas prometteuse. Les scènes d'action avec Godzilla sont géniales et il n'en manque pas, mais la grande majorité du film est consacrée à différents débats d'experts, de scientifiques et de politiciens discutant de la stratégie de combat, de l'évacuation des villes, des nouvelles élections du Premier ministre, et ainsi de suite - presque comme si les créateurs du film essayaient d'obtenir un réalisme procédural. En même temps, ces séquences de dialogue sont extrêmement condensées, ce qui entraîne le chaos, d'autant plus que le film est mal réalisé et encore plus mal monté. Du point de vue du montage, c'est vraiment un pur amateurisme, tout comme le travail de la caméra et de la dramaturgie. Pendant tout le film, j'ai eu l'impression que c'était réalisé par Tomáš Magnusek, mais avec les effets spéciaux des studios UPP.

Shin Godzilla is still a good film for me, and I'm curious about how the Japanese will continue in the legendary series. There's an animated version in the works, so we'll see what happens. This is a path that could be taken, but it could also be a completely new restart, a new concept, even more political and ecological, which perhaps in recent years has somewhat faded from the Godzilla series - mainly due to the American approach. I hope this isn't the end of it. The series has a lot to offer in terms of special effects.

A reserved procedural satire on (not only) the Japanese bureaucracy and the government's inability to respond dynamically to the devastating "nuclear" earthquake of 2011. Yes, you understand that this is not guilty pleasure monster film like the later (I mean, actually earlier) Godzilla (which on the one hand is a pity, that´s for sure), but entirely following legacy of Honda's original film full of post-war nuclear trauma. This version, in addition, is enriched by the role of today's Japan towards itself and the rest of the world. This is done using dozens of talking heads or zero direct connection of passages with Godzilla. In any case, most of the time-consuming "meeting" segments are fantastic, because in addition to the satirical and "reflecting" mode, they also serve as a believable mediation, as it would (not) have worked at the highest executive level during the national crisis. And the rest of the footage is packed with catastrophic passages with "Godzilla, King of the Monsters!" having a destructive walk through Japan, which masterfully combine total destruction, magnificent design giving tribute to the original, imaginative (and damn impressive) shooting and congenial Sagisui/Ifukube´s music. "Restart" of Japanese Godzilla is by no means for everyone and not even remotely for every uncritical fan of the monster king. With an untraditionally chosen concept and adaptation, it explicitly calls for contradictory acceptance. And that´s exactly what it deserved and what it got. Anyway, it's at least interesting and hardly about who ever says "a mediocre disaster movie that blew out of my head with the final credentials start", because whether you condemn it for those bold decisions or on the other hand fall in love with it, the movie will affect you and leave you with a specific opinion about it. And what other high-budget blockbuster is recently capable of doing this? Howgh.
