Is this the best Godzilla film ever? There’s always recency bias-not to mention my own biases-but I will explain why my rating is so high. Many of the films in the franchise have been seen by me, and some have put a strong focus on the human characters… to varying success. In this film, they nailed that aspect just about perfectly.
