Well, Shin Godzilla was interesting for what it seemed to be saying about present day Japan. There's a team of young super nerds who try and figure out Godzilla and also to kind of reestablish an older pre-WWII community spirit. There's a lot of back and forth between older leaders and the new upcoming ones. The inefficiencies of democratic bureaucracy, imposed on Japan by the US, are highlighted.
I'm interested in what the movie had to say, and the more realistic depiction of Godzilla, but it still seemed a bit too long. It's probably because I was expecting shlock for Mark and I to laugh about.
