"GODZILLA is still the most awesome of tacky movie monsters..."
-- Owen Gleiberman
, (Entertainment Weekly)
"Ishiro Honda's seminal monster movie....Images of a devastated miniature Tokyo have clearly been modeled on the newsreels of Hiroshima and Nagasaki..." -- Dave Kehr , (New York Times) "Honda pours a vast inventory of nuclear references and cultural fears, including direct talk of the ethical responsibility of scientists, allusions to Hiroshima and H-bomb testing in the Pacific, and a moving swell of national resilience and pride."�-- Grade: A -- Scott Tobias , (A.V. Club)
