STORYLINE: Set in 1949, the Shikishima family confronts a fresh catastrophe two years after surviving their previous ordeal with the legendary monster.  (IMDb)

The king of the monsters first reigned supreme, in the 1954 feature Godzilla.  He has had to defend that title in such films as King Kong vs Gofzilla (1962) and Mothra vs Godzilla (1964).  In 1998 and 2014, he once again reigned supreme, on the silver screen.  Godzilla Minus One (2023) became a prequel to the legendary film series. Now, Godzilla reigns, once more on the big screen, in Godzilla Minus Zero.

  Since Godzilla first roared into cinenas, it seem he has traveled between Japan and the United States, cinenas. There have been many adversaries, to do battle with, along the way.  The monster king has also flipped between hero and villoan.  One thing has remained constant, among the many films, there has been a path of destruction, left in Godzilla’s wake.

  Godzilla Minus Zero features the spectacle one would expect from a monster movie, of this nature.  There’s the big guy himself, as well as other monsters of canon, big blockbuster effects, and edge of your seat action sequences.

  What Godzilla Minus Zero has, that tends to be missing from the franchise’s American counterparts, is a story with heart.  The story is well thought out, and told.  Much like its predecessor, Godzilla Minus One, it’s not another run of the mill popcorn flick, in form of a monster movie.

  I enjoy mindless monster movies like the 2014 Goxilla movie, or Kong: Skull Island (2017).  But when a monster movie like Peter Jackson’s 3005 King Kong, or Godzilla Minus Zero comas out, something with real story and spectacle, I tend to love it.

This feature was well crafted in both story and spectacle, making it a more then woth while creature feature.

  Until next time, I will see you at the movies!!
