Godzilla and King Ghidorah, Reviewed as More Than a Rivalry

Variety's review of “Godzilla Minus Zero” reaches back to Yamazaki, who rebooted the genre with 2023's “Godzilla Minus One,” for the film's pedigree. But the review's real enthusiasm is reserved for the fight. When Godzilla and King Ghidorah go at it, the critic writes, it is more than a WWE match of primeval rivals — it is a clash that leaves the audience as wide-eyed, jaw-dropped children. That is a high compliment for a monster brawl: not that it is well choreographed, but that it restores a childish scale of wonder.
