Critic Reviews

Godzilla is still the most awesome of tacky movie monsters.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

Can now be appreciated not just as a minor classic of tragic destruction, but also as a somber exploration of conflicted postwar emotions.Full Review

L.A. Weekly

A definitive, low-tech stomping of every sci-fi clone that has sprung up in the original's wake.Full Review

Janice Page
Boston Globe

Why it works is anyone's guess. It's fair to argue--and the film makes this argument itself, with no great subtlety--that Godzilla embodies Japan's nuclear anxieties in the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Full Review

Keith Phipps
The Onion (A.V. Club)

The images are crisp. The story is restored. And there's no sign of Raymond Burr.Full Review
