I want to start this review by saying I went into this blind. Never saw the trailer, and only heard of Godzilla ? but I have never seen a film. 

Really enjoyed the following...
◇How it was set in Japan where the story was originally from. 
◇All in Japanese with subs How international films should be consumed in my personal opinion. 
◇The special effects 
◇The acting of the leads and extras.
◇The writing from the smallest details to the big moments. 
◇Wardrobe department I see you and I appreciate you!
◇The struggles of war and what Godzilla represents. (If you want to go that direction which I 100% did)
◇The character growth of the leads but also side charcters like his neighbor.
◇Times of war and hardship can tear people apart or bring them together. 
◇The ending ??????

There is so much more I know I can find when I rewatch it. 

My only con...
◇That one main character luck moment. You know what I'm taking about if you seen it. 

I have struggled for YEARS with Japanese live action media. (Shows, movies, shorts) At last I have come across one I enjoyed. Looking forward to finding more. 

In cnclusion this was a fantastic film and I'm glad I watched it in theaters.
Now ?‍♀️ to the internet to learn more about Godzilla the tale.
