Godzilla Minus One has broken box office records and received near-universal praise since its release, the most recent of which comes from comic book icon Kevin Smith.On his Fatman Beyond podcast, Smith spoke about the film, calling it not just the best Godzilla film he’d ever seen, but one of the best movies of 2023 overall, giving praise to its balance of a human storyline with appearances from Godzilla itself. According to the writer and director, the film subverted his expectations for the franchise and he felt equally invested in the main characters as he did in the massive scenes of chaos and destruction the franchise is known for. “This Godzilla Minus One, kids — by far the best Godzilla movie that I’ve ever seen,” Smith said. “Just a clinic in how to make a movie with the giant monster, that keeps the giant monster alive throughout the whole movie, and is compelling on the human level.”Smith’s praise for the film is not unfounded, either, as it proved a massive competitor at the box office, raking in nearly $100 million in the United States alone on a budget of just $15 million and has received a 98% positive review score on film review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes. The film was successful enough that Toho approved a second release in early 2024 that features a black-and-white filter to emulate the feeling of the original 1954 film.
