In most movies I would agree, but personally I feel like Minus One really earned

Spoiler!

the twist of Noriko being alive. There are plenty of stories of people being pulled from the rubble of disaster sites days afterwards, having survived collapsing buildings, explosions, things that should have been impossible to live through. The human body and spirit can be amazingly resilient. Especially after such a grim film, that parting ray of hope and relief felt fitting.

As for the last shot of Godzilla not really being dead, that's a series tradition at this point, seen in numerous entries over the years. It's just Toho's way of indicating that the series will continue.

And yeah, it's crazy how good it looked considering the budget was less than 10% of the Legendary Godzilla films. Really goes to show that talent and passion goes a long way.

Did you have a favourite scene/moment?

Spoiler!

Eh, I still don't buy it, but fair point. I do think that Koichi surviving was enough of a parting ray of hope and relief, and it was well earned.

I didn't know it was a series tradition, I haven't seen enough of the Toho films. Just the 1954 original and this. I should definitely check out more, Shin Godzilla seems to get lots of praise.

I think my favourite scene would be Godzilla's attack on Tokyo, it was awesome and frightnening in equal parts. And even emotional at the end.

Shin is definitely worth checking out; it serves as something of a commentary on the Fukushima disaster and offers a unique take on Godzilla himself. Ddi you watch/enjoy the Legendary entries?

And yeah that was one of my favourite scenes as well, in addition to the naval battle and the finale.
