Netflix viewers rejoice as highly anticipated ‘masterpiece’ premieres online in 2023
Netflix has started June on a high note with the addition of a highly acclaimed 2023 film that is now available for streaming. Alongside this addition, Netflix has also brought back a TV show with a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. Additionally, the monster movie “Godzilla Minus One” has been added to Netflix’s library in the UK.
The Japanese film, the first Toho Godzilla movie since “Shin Godzilla” in 2016, surprised audiences by becoming a hit after its release in December 2023. It went on to become the highest-grossing Japanese live-action film ever in the US and Canada. The film later won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, surpassing contenders like “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3” and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.”
While many films are now available for streaming shortly after their theatrical release, “Godzilla Minus One” deviated from this trend. After leaving cinemas, there was uncertainty about when and where audiences could watch the film, leading to widespread anticipation on social media.
On June 1st, Netflix announced that it had acquired the rights to stream the film in various territories, including the UK. Subscribers expressed unanimous excitement about the film’s availability on the platform. Fans and critics alike praised “Godzilla Minus One,” with one commentator calling it a “masterpiece” and another stating that it should have been in everyone’s top ten list for 2023.
As of now, “Godzilla Minus One” ranks as the eighth most-watched film in the UK. The film’s availability on Netflix has generated significant buzz among movie enthusiasts, with many expressing their long-awaited anticipation for its release.
Film commentator Joe Russo took to Twitter to share his excitement, emphasizing the film’s significance for movie lovers. Another fan described “Godzilla Minus One” as a flawless piece of cinema that left them speechless. The film’s popularity continues to soar, and it is set to arrive on Netflix US later this year.
