The CEO of DC Studios said: “I’m a big fan of Godzilla Minus One. It’s just a beautiful film… It’s one of my favourite movies of the past few years, so thank you… It’s so many things. I really think it is a revolutionary film.”
“I think seeing movie makers who are able to make spectacular films like that, that are true to the nature of a Godzilla film… this movie also has the human element that is about people and human beings, first and foremost, and their plight,” Gunn added.
The Suicide Squad maker also went on saying that many filmmakers who make blockbuster movies don’t do it with love, hinting that Yamazaki put all his love and efforts into this movie.
Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, Godzilla Minus One movie remained a huge commercial success, amassing $113.76 million. Moreover, this film also won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects.
