Me too. It was a secret release.
you can watch it in English or stick with Japanese with subtitles.

I know many film aficionados strongly prefer subtitles and scoff at watching foreign films with English dubbed in, but I will confess I prefer the latter.

I watched the dubbed version.  I thought the voice acting was solid in the dubbed version.  Plus, this is a monster movie; I watch it for entertainment value, not to be reading subtitles.  I only use subtitles if I am watching something with heavy accents (like Irish or Scottish) and I am struggling to understand what is being said.

In the end, it's another Godzilla movie with a better actors and plot, subpar script and riding the special effects. Guess what? There will be a sequel.

This was actually a low-budget movie (compared to the other blockbuster-style monster movies)

I guess it's an acquired taste.  I have always enjoyed the old monster movies (which this one harkened back to)

If you liked the original Godzilla movie, this is a better version of the original.   Again, you have to enjoy monster movies at least a little bit or you will end up viewing the movie as Ed did.

If you guys like Godzilla and monster movies, I would suggest you give "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" on Apple TV a shot. It's a series, so unlike a movie, it keeps on giving. Season 1 has 10 episodes. Season 2 is in the making...don't know when it's going to drop though

Premise: Monsters (called "Titans" in the series), starts with the appearance of the original Godzilla who survives a nuclear bomb, hided in the ocean and deep underground. They surface when they get pissed off at humans. The series jumps from the current time frame (2020s), to back in the 60s. Interestingly, Kurt Russell (one of the stars) plays the current role of elderly Lee Shaw, and Kurt's son Wyatt Russell plays young Lee Shaw when going back to the 60s. You can see the resemblance and notice the same voice as his famous father. The show has a bit of a Japanese flavor as they start out in Tokyo and more than half the main cast members are Japanese (or half Japanese), albeit they all speak in clear English for the most part. They include subtitles when Japanese is spoken, which is very rare in this series

Worthwhile watch to those who like the thrill of battling monsters and incredible graphics

The joke I told yesterday was so funny that,
apparently, HR wants to hear it tomorrow  :laugh:

The King Kong series are so much better. As for monster movies, Frankenstein, Bride and Son set the bar of excellence.
