GODZILLA MINUS ONE (2023) || MOVIE REACTION || *FIRST TIME WATCHING* 

I've seen every single Godzilla film, all 38 of them. Been a Godzilla fan since I was a kid 30 years ago. I saw Godzilla Minus One 6 times in the theater. It is BY FAR the best Godzilla film ever made IMO.

I saw it 8 times in theaters. It's an absolute masterpiece.

Godzilla was his guilt and shame. Showed up right when he avoided his duty. And it kept getting bigger and bigger.

I thought the other comments were hyping up the reaction but this really was one of the best I’ve seen to this film. It was so human and you guys were so invested I loved it!

I've seen all the movies, and all the reactions to this miracle thus far, and you guys hold the title of my favorite. Your reactions were exactly like my own, and your observations were spot on. The emotion of the movie went through you guys. Keep up the good work. As a older guy now and massive G fan, it's really incredible to see people now watch this movie, and hopefully Shin, '54, Rodan, and Mothra stuff eventually, because once you are in this genre, it'll put a hook in you forever. Toho are masters. Cheers.

These people are good people. 　Thank you for being moved to tears. 　From Godzilla fans in Japan. 　May happiness come to you too.

Best reaction I’ve seen so far…

The Shinden was a real plane developed by the Japanese late in the war that did not see action due to the war ending. The director was a bit of a military historian. Check out his previous movie THE ETERNAL ZERO about a kamikaze pilot

Best reaction video! Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho used to be my favorite movie, but Godzilla Minus One has claimed the number one spot! Great movie!

Folks... I'm getting emotional simply watching your reactions as I recall the experience of watching this film in IMAX last year. Glad you enjoyed it.

RU-vidの中で最高のリアクション！！

Kamikaze pilots actually attended their own funeral ceremonies before flying their missions. Losing face is everything in Japanese culture. "Godzilla" is an Americanization of "Gojira", which is what they're saying, the name comes from combining the Japanese words for gorilla and whale.

Movie opens with the pride of Japan, the venerable Japanese Zero Fighter. Along with the fictional Odo Island and the monster "Gojira". The premise of the movie is the survivors of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing of March 10th, 1945." Mankinds worst, more casualties in one night & lost in history to the Hiroshima Bomb. As it was raining fire on Tokyo. December 1945, the "Black Market" scene introduced Noriko & Akiko to Koichi is brilliant; with it's vendors, harlots and rice runner. On March 1946, the one year anniversary of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing", ironically, Koichi is drenched in rain water instead of fire; shares he found a job. Another date shows the sinking of the "Takao" as it surprises Godzilla with bombs. The "Takao" was involved in the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor. On March 10th 2024, on the 79th anniversary of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing", Takashi Yamazaki & Crew is awarded the Oscar in Hollywood California. Takashi Yamazaki tells a great Japanese Post WII story using the great Japanese monster "Gojira", that people wouldn't be interested in anyway. Harley Davidson Motorcycle and the Japanese Imperial Army was a surprising discovery. As many others. The last line, Noriko looks to the side of the camera & says, "Is your war.....now, finally over."

I’m here to give this video a thumbs up because you both paid respect to the creators, distributors of this movie by uploading this video AFTER it was internationally released on streaming. Many RU-vidrs uploaded reaction videos by downloading illegal pirated versions and here in Japan those people are being hated amongst Gojira fans. Thank you both for doing the right thing. Big thumbs up you and I subscribed to your channel.

One of the best reactions ive seen yet. The moment you realize he was able to eject from the plane is a very powerful moment in the film. I was going in for sure that he was going to sacrifice himself. But one thing this movie proves and shows is the growth of so many characters including Tachibana. This movie is the best of 2023 and i saw it 3 times in theaters, this is great story writing and it helps that im a huge Godzilla fan. Lol

It was impressive how quickly they were drawn into the story after the "Ginza attack." And their reactions afterwards are wonderful! And 'normal'😀 Now, how many times will you guys see this masterpiece in the future? Congratulations! 👏👏

Love this vid! Awesome reaction!

Your reactions are very very human.

To date this is the Best Godzilla. My personal Favret however is still "Son of Godzilla". Recessed the year I was born I watched it two times a year from age five to 12 and wished I had the ability to go to Monster Island. I'd Love to see that remade today by this same team.

While it does seem like she could have tackled both of them to safety, the amount of force required to move a larger person and oneself from a standstill stance would be tremendous . Much easier to just push someone when you have only a split second to make a move. If she tried to move them both, both would have likely been carried away in the explosion. Anyways great reaction.

This is an EXCELLENT reaction! You two were great.... the best Godzilla movie ever! Can't wait to see more of your reactions!

I've seen this movie about 3 times, and I've watched over a dozen other reaction videos, and this is by far the best reaction I've seen so far. Godzilla Minus One has taken the top spot for me. Not just my favourite Godzilla movie, but my favourite movie, full stop. Great reaction , guys. 🥹

Great reaction and review. Glad you guys enjoyed the film. Been a Godzilla fan my whole life and this is def to me the best Godzilla movie made! Was so blown away by the story, visual effects, how Godzilla and human characters were incorporated in the film. Keep up the good work! #NewSubscriber

Easily best reaction to this masterpiece I instantly subscribed after watching! You guys are awesome!

The spot on Noriko's neck is a bit of Godzilla the tanks blasted off him. A piece went into her neck and like Godzilla, regenerated her.

Godzilla franchise is older than Star Wars. The movie gives a lot of dynamic, life after WW2, Godzilla resemble as a atomic weapon and possibly WW3, a disgraceful kamikaze, family, a relationship that is not confirmed verbally, and the ending part of killing Godzilla is a reference of what Kamikazes supposed to do during WW2. Great movie for sure! The theme song is very ionic as well.

Loved your reaction I’ve seen this about at least 10 times on utube and it’s fantastic and although it won an Oscar it still didn’t get the props it should have the actors including the little girl should have all gotten Oscar’s and for the record every time I saw it I teared up A LOT! TOO! If You Haven’t Seen The Original Gojira 1954 Japanese version See It And I would love to se the sequel redone of the 1954 to this one that would really be awesome with the affects they have but keep it close to the original black and white 1954 version thanks again five ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ to your reaction keep it up and for the scary movies seeing them in a darker tone like the theater will give you a better feel to them.

your reactions were so genuine .

The two best Godzilla movies are Godzilla Minus One and the original one from 1954. These are the two Godzilla movies that don’t try to make Godzilla seem good in any way, but rather show him as an animal.

I think this is the first G film where I felt genuine dread instead of anticipation on its arrival. He is truly a terrifying vengeful force of nature in this. It's the consummate Godzilla film.

Minus One was just peak! Im so happy it won an Oscar for VFX and I wish it would have gotten more nominations but at least it won 1 and dominated the Japanese Oscars. Such a great film!

The Best godzilla movie. Coolll reaction. Peace out 👊🏻

Love your channel. What a great reaction that was! I was moved😭

Wow! New sub here. Ive seen this movie 22 times so far and Ive watched like a hundred reactions and this was my favorite. You reacted the same as me to all the big moments. Ive seen just about all the Godzilla movies and this is by far the best.

Iam japanese I watched this movie at the theater more than 10 times. I was moved to tears every time. Thank you for watching too!

Seen almost every Goji movie, and this is by far the best of the whole franchise. They should be so proud of themselves for this masterpiece. As for other Goji movies, they vary so much in their level of quality and cheesiness, and you can jump in almost anywhere as only the movies from the 80s really have any continuity (and even them just barely). There are a number of dark and series ones, and they tend to be high water marks in the franchise, and there are ones so cheesy they're clearly made for kids (especially the ones made in the 70s). The other major serious takes are: Gojira/Godzilla King of the Monsters (original film), Godzilla Returns/Godzilla 1985 (Reboot, ignores all the movies made in the 60s and 70s) - American cut of both these movies are a bit different with an extra character, both cuts of both movies are about equally good, Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah (known as GMK by the fans, 2004? I believe), and Shin Godzilla (extremely dark, very good but slow burn). American 2014 movie falls in here too, but you say you've seen that. If you don't mind a little camp/cheese, almost bordering on old Jim Henson fantasy movies, Mothra vs Godzilla (1964) is a fan favorite, so is Invasion of Astro monster (which is VERY cheesy, but in the best way), Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974), and basically any of the movies made in the 80s/90s (Heisei era movies). Millienium era movies are also a ton of fun, but other than GMK being a pretty serious take, they tend to dial the cheese to 11. American Legendary franchise is also a ton of fun, as long as you accept they're summer popcorn flicks and ignore the human characters.

During the atomic breath in Ginza. When it happened it was so fast. People froze because they're over shocked by the bomb including Kōichi. Noriko only had 2 seconds to think and all she could think of is to save Kōichi by using all her strength to push him inside the alley. People watching at home, sitting comfortably, knowing what is going to happen. Like many many other youtubers' reactions, keep saying why did she do that? Run run run. That's just bit annoying. Haha

No, there isn't a better Godzilla movie than this one. the effects, the music, the story, the characters, it stands on its own.

I love you two!

I hope this movie gets a direct sequal, even without the main group of characters reprising their roles, they built a fantastic universe and iteration of Godzilla...

Thank you.Really.Thank you.

Nice reaction and nice t-shirts 😊

That was an honest reaction to a great movie

Yall have had THE best reaction to this film I've seen on RU-vid so far. I watched it in the theater and everything you all felt WE felt!

Yes, they still use sea mines When they want to block harbors and Sea Lane

Those deep sea fish was epic foreshadowing. It was the clue how to defeat Godzilla. They rose to the surface too quickly and died. Decompression caused their innards to balloon out their mouths.

This is the first video I've seen from the channel and it was simply the best reaction I've seen out of the dozens I've watched. Keep going. Hugs from Brazil

55:30 crushed! 55:38 elation! Tachibana installed the ejection seat. Having been a mechanic that got planes airborne for young men to die as kamikaze, he forgave Koichi and wanted him to live.

Nice shout out for the civilian boats at Dunkirk, man knows his history👍

Didn’t tear up at all. I just had to put on my sunglasses at the credits. That’s all. Allergies. Ya. That’s all.

The reason why they are saying Godzilla different is because they aren't saying Godzilla. They're saying Gojira. That's his actual name. Americans started pronouncing it wrong back in the 50s as Godzilla and it just stuck.

A few weeks before this movie came out..I was on a flight home (to UK) from Japan...And during the long flight I watched a number of Japanese movies...One of them was called "Dr Coto's Clinic".....The titles character Dr Coto..was played by Hidetaka Yoshioka who plays Kenji "Doc" Noda in this movie..He has the same hair and glasses...hehe..Also Ryunosuke Kamiki who plays Koichi Shikishima here...was also in the movie...I didn't know until I went to the cinema to see G-1 and instantly recognised the actors I had seen on my flight home a few weeks before...During my trip to Japan I saw a couple of Godzilla's ...The head on top of the hotel in Shinjuku...and the Shin Gozilla statue near Hibiya Stataion. Said to be the biggest Godzillla statue in Japan..(according to Toho creaters of Godzilla.)

very good reaction

Honestly, i'm pretty surprise that lot of reactors says Noriko should've been jump with Shikishima, but the fact is that was shockwaves, and Shikishima was the closest person into building, Noriko did the right thing, if she's jump with him, she's still got crushed by that waves, in a real situation they both would have been died

I wasn't expecting Noriko to have survived. If the impact of hitting the ground after that shockwave from the Atomic Breath didn't kill her, the radiation surely would have. It was a very pleasant surprise that she was still alive, don't get me wrong. It is weird to see what appears to be Godzilla's scales on her neck.

Thank you, Smitty & Birdie. That was the best reaction I've ever seen on RU-vid. I saw the movie three times in theaters in Japan and again on Amazon Prime. I reserved the DVD right after it was announced in Japan and watched the movie twice more. So, I know what happens in every frame of the movie, but every time you shed tears reacting to it, I need to pretend to blame someone for cutting onions. And when I get out of the subway station in Ginza, I am amazed to see that the city is fully recovered and restored after the massive destruction that Godzilla caused, asking myself, "Was that Godzilla?" Thank you for your comments, insights, and the heart.

The TRAIN stopped so fast because it was TERRIFIED of GODZILLA!😁

Japanese Godzilla movie just hit different. You guys should react to the Heisei era Godzilla movies. They consist of 7 movies starting from 1984 and ending in 1995. They all lead into one another as a continuing story. It was the MCU 20 years before the MCU was a thing.

I love the reactions of both of you. from　JAPAN🇯🇵

57:38 that was part of Godzilla in her, in the original she was a sensory that can feel Godzilla and can in a way communicate with him, try Godzilla vs destroyer it’s was supposed to be the last Godzilla movie (for a reason but decided to continue it) and that’s when you SEE the first and original burning Godzilla that you also see in king of the monsters.

It was so worth seeing this movie in theaters! It was such a surreal experience ❤ definitely one of if not the best Godzilla movie I have ever seen in my life! It made me sob my eyes out, This movie definitely deserved the Oscar!! Godzilla is the scariest he’s ever been and the characters are so incredible! The action is intense and amazing! I love your reaction so much! Thank you for watching this masterpiece!!✨♥️😊 As a Godzilla fan, you can’t ask for more.

Small facts: the building in the backgrounds where the tanks engage Godzilla is National Diet Building, if atomic breath lands anywhere near it, which is estimated to be over 20 times stronger than Little Boy, not only the council, but Allied HQ and Imperal Palace as well as the majority of Japanese government, would be wiped out So it's not that officials don't respond, but there is practially none after the attack

Those were some of Godzillas cells on Noriko neck, Godzilla might have been what saved her

1:48 "wine." -Smitty in a plastic cup. classy. 👍🏼😊

I'm Japanese. I learned that director Stenberg watched this movie three times in a row. I also watched it three times in a row. I was moved and excited by the story and the love of humanity. I was surprised to see that people from other countries were as moved and excited as I was. I think Japanese movies are just as good as Hollywood movies. I want everyone to watch the Japanese anime movie "Your Name," which was made about 10 years ago. I watched this movie three times in a row. Please let me know what you think.

Wow! I cried just as much with you guys as I did the first time I watched it! Check out Shin Godzilla if you haven’t yet. Also, it’s not Godzilla but explores some of the same themes: Grave of the Fireflies is pretty special. You’ll need tissues. Shin and Grave are both Japanese films.

so glad you did this instead of jeepers creepers. This film was masterfully done and is far superior to every other Godzilla movie ever created.

Who else loves how at 34:45 The King stands there amongst the destruction COMPLETELY unscathed and unaffected by everything the Japanese military launched against him??

Great reaction...I was happy to see these times in theater in color and 1 time in B/W. By the way, the black on her neck would be radiation poisoning from G

Passenger trains are no where near as heavy as Cargo trains. And she pushed him away in slow motion, that shockwave got there very very fast, she wouldnt have had enough time to rotate her feet let alone her body in that direction. she did what she could.

Shinden is a real plane. It wasn’t put into production though. The war ended before it was put in production.

One Of The Best / The Best Reaction For GODZILLA-Minus One On Internet . Reactions were Genuine From Heart. Loved Watching Your Reaction , Amazing.

This was probably the best godzilla film. But I highly recommend "Shin Godzilla" as well as the original black and white 1954 film (make sure its the original one and not the American edited one)

Best reaction i seen on the movie! I love how the ending is left open for speculation on Noriko's neck. Personally i feel she's infected by Godzilla's regenerative cells and thats what helped her survive.

Love ❤ Godzilla 98 more

Why was this movie not nominated for best foreign film or best film!?

from japanese love your guy reaction movie 10/10 thanks you so much for honest react ❤❤

Two other great Godzilla movies Shin Godzilla from 2016 and the Originsl Godzilla from 1954, the version without Raymonb Burr in it

The story , the score , the direction and cinematography. It was tremendous. So happy I got to see it in theatres. 🐐. Shin Godzilla is a solid number 2 to watch 👌🏽

Movie of the decade.

you need to watch Shin Godzilla next

So fun fact! They are actually saying Gojira. It's a combination of the Japanese word for gorilla (gorira) and whale (kujira). Godzilla is the Americanized name for him 😊

Yes, they still make and plant mines at sea. Now, the vast majority are laid using airplanes and submarines. Magnetic influencer mines were not terribly high-tech during WW2. Mine depth was also not terribly shallow, since the high priority targets were large military capital ships (Battleships, Aircraft carriers and Cruisers) as well as loaded transport ships. They wanted to destroy high value targets that were large and or heavily loaded with high priority commodities such as oil, rubber, fuel, and ammunition. Ships that had a shallow draft were either empty or of lower military value. so most mines varied from 20-50 ft of draft. They wanted deeper mines so that they could either break the keel or open up a large, irreparable holes near the bottom of the ship. They wanted the flooding to be so severe that closing bulkheads, pumping and counter flooding measures could not prevent the damaged ships from capsizing and sinking. Also, the loss of very needed resources to continue the war was imperative in forcing the enemy from being able to fight indefinitely, and thus shortening the war drastically. Also, you used the term Clip improperly. The proper term was Magazine. Very few weapons actually use a clip. The M1 Garand used a loaded (Enbloc) clip to reload. The clip would be ejected from the rifle when empty. Most weapons prior to the Vietnam War also used a device called a stripper clip to reload the weapons. Few modern weapons use clips. But there are still exceptions. The plane was a real prototype plane from the very end of WW2. I'm not certain, but I seem to remember that only 2 were ever built. Of course, the US captured them when our military occupied Japan after the surrender. Now on to the movie. This movie is very similar in concept to the very first Godzilla movie, produced in 1954. This movie is however on a totally different level and scale when it comes to writing and effects. The most outstanding part of this movie is the writing. No other Godzilla movie that I know of has ever been able to bring out the raw emotional response and capture it for the length of the movie. This movie has done something that no other monster movie in history has ever managed to do, make the majority of the audience cry.

Noriko's body mass . She had to plant herself and dig in to push Koichi to safety She didn't have the weight to tackle him and her without a running start. It was that same lack of body mass that threw her with the leading edge of the shockwave just before the heavier debris.

That black mutation on her neck at the end was some type of infection or something she got from Godzilla, hence is why she survived that nuke situation by being able to heal and regenerate like G man.. This movie was perfection from start to finish and is not just the gold standard now for Godzilla movies but for movies made on like 11 million dollars on top of that.. INSANE.. The fact this only won an FX award was disgusting and insulting but lucky they got that. Hollywood wishes this movie was never made LOL

Koichi Shikishima has one of the best character arcs in film history. and the scene when he sees the boat he'll working on reminds me of the first time Luke Skywalker saw the Millenium Falcon in Star Wars. you can insert that conversation here: Koichi: "What a piece of junk!" Noda or Akitsu: "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts. Plus, I've made a few special modifications myself, so if we'll all just get on board, we can get out of here."

thank−you for five, from originalty japanese. regarding the train braking scene. the train had just departed from the station , so I assume the train has not reached it's maxmum speed.

Never imagined this film would surpass the original, but this did in spades!!! Also, noriko has g cells on her neck that's why she survived and should fully regenerate

Great reaction! You guys might enjoy "The Great War of Archimedes". Same production company and same actress!

Minus One is the best of all Godzilla movie indeed, and I really love your reaction!

They say GOJIRA not soft D Godzilla

It's not just the best Godzilla film of all time but one of the best films I ever seen in my life and I'm 58.

I JUST found you guys! I loved your reaction to this. It looks like you have less than 50 videos. I’m so glad I got on board early on in your RU-vid journey. I have so many recommendations. These are really great and popular for viewers and subscribers. - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Tombstone - 300 - Troy - Gladiator I hope you do these!

素晴らしいリアクションでした❤🎉

who would've thought we would cry in a godzilla movie 🤣🤣

It's a stand alone film. They're not planning to make a sequel.

godzilla 1985 was my favorite as a kid and has alot in common with this one.

I keep hearing reactors claiming that the handle to arm the bomb is the ejection seat. I understand the misunderstanding but when the mechanic says that it's to arm the bomb, that is what it is for. If it had been to eject the seat, he would have said as much. I believe that in a plane they have to arm the bomb before they use it because the turbulence of the plane could very well make it explode before they get to deploy it.

this is the best godzilla movie. if you are looking for other good godzilla movies theres shin and the original godzilla movie id also reccomend gmk if you want another evil godzilla

A great movie with so many accolades, except winning an Oscar(or Grammy) they both are terrible.
