One of my favorites. A powerful film about racial inequality in America. Brilliantly written by the two leads and strongly acted, especially by Daveed Diggs.
The film’s climax is a monologue so well done that after watching it for the first time I decided to transcribe it and posted it on IMDb. By doing that, I also memorized it completely. What a scene!
After watching Godzilla Raids Again (ゴジラの逆襲, 1956) and not being completely blown away, I wanted to revisit my favorite Godzilla film: Godzilla Minus One.
By the way, Godzilla Raids Again wasn’t all that bad. The kaiju wrestling is quite entertaining, but the film lacks the depth of the original. The story feels flat, the metaphor gets somewhat lost, and everything seems rushed, which makes sense since it was released just a few months after the first Godzilla. But all in…
I had forgotten how good the chemistry is between all these superheroes.
It’s also nice to return to the simpler days of Marvel. I wasn’t sure if I’d still enjoy it as much as I did 13 years ago, and honestly, I didn’t. But there are still plenty of fist-pumping moments, especially in the third act. I had a great time!
