Writer-Director Takashi Yamazaki's kaiju tale strikes the right balance between FX spectacle and human drama, and it's far more memorable than any brand-name franchise movie made in the last five years.

A Godzilla Stumper
By The Metzinger Sisters on Oct 7, 2023 From Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film LoversAll those Godzilla films look alike to me so I would like some help to a puzzle that has been stumping me.

The simultaneous production of this film and Seven Samurai nearly forced Tôhô Kabushiki Kaisha into bankruptcy.
