El hijo de Godzilla

Godzilla movie made in a lighter tone than many in the series.

I have seen a limited number of Godzilla movies in my lifetime and it was not until 2022 that I discovered Son of Godzilla! I never knew this film series went in this more cute direction! Verdict? I like it as Godzilla is no longer just this big reptile but now a father to a child. I think I can now better understand why this film series is just so special to the Japanese.

The final moment in the flick is one of the most touching moments I could imagine.

But there is more to this than a father/son creature movie: the film just looks good.

I seem to respond better to the island Godzilla flicks like this one (and Destroy All Monsters) rather than the ones in cities.

Granted, some might find this movie too cute, and maybe it is, but Son of Godzilla will linger in your memory. Enough said.
