Just watched this on ( Netflix/prime/max?) the overdubbing is a bit cheesy if you watch the English translation but better than the 60’s shows. For such a low budget it’s actually not bad at all. Would recommend if you have access to stream it.

I didn't mind it in Japanese with subtitles [how it was shown at the theater with no English option].

But, I watched a lot of Japanese shows in college [and preferred Japanese w subs over most English dubs], so watching with subs was never a problem for me.

I’ve now watched both subs and dubbed more or less.
I always suggest watching the native language version subbed unless you absolutely cannot do subtitles. That said the dubbed version of minus one is one of the better I’ve seen. All the dubbing more or less FIT the characters (not physically as you will never match lips) but their personalities / characters so to speak.

Watch it in the Japanese if you possibly can but I don’t think the dubbed version hurts the movie.

Das Boot…..ALWAYS ZEE GERMAN!!!! Nein subtitles!!!!!

OK, I'm at the part where the Shinden is introduced. I had never heard of it, so had to look to see if it was a real thing. It was.

I must say: this is an astonishingly fine movie in every respect. Clint Eastwood got lots of praise for Letter from Iwo Jima, looking at the war from the standpoint of a Japanese officer; but this movie outdoes that by far. It dares to show Japan at its very lowest point in history, in a very intimate way. I don't think I've ever seen this portrayed in a movie, at least in the West. Then, of course, it gets worse, much worse.

Here's something I've never seen portrayed: IJN destroyers with guns removed from their turrets. Just tons of stuff in the movie to make you think a lot about immediate postwar Japan. I've seen movies like Airlift that portrayed Germany after the war; there have been others. Godzilla Minus One offers up what seems to be a very realistic portrayal of Japan at its absolute nadir in history; yet in a sympathetic way that cannot help to be affecting.

The special effects won an Oscar, very deservedly; but the human portrayals were very moving--not something I recall feeling about monster movies before (except maybe the original The Thing from Another Planet when I was a kid, which scared me to death.

I'd strongly recommend this movie; and yes I watched it with subtitles, I hate hearing cheesy dubbing. I used to watch American movies dubbed into French, and they had the same voice actors in every movie. I'm sure this is better, but I prefer the subtitles. Actually, I didn't see English dubbing offered by Amazon Prime.

Finished watching the movie; sent a couple of notes to my older son recommending he and his wife watch it.

There's a review in Forbes that says this is the best Godzilla movie ever, even better than the original. This is the only one I've ever watched straight through, so I can't judge. But I was blown away by it, as you can tell.

I watched it last night.

It was VERY 1960's Japanese monster movie, but in a good way.

The Shindin was a nice touch, being Japan's actual secret weapon in the war.

I will echo again that I loved it. I do believe this is the best Godzilla movie, but the original will always have a special place as invented the concept and thus paved the way for this movie.

The original Godzilla was created to show the struggles of post war Japan, and it did that. However, as sjtill stated, GMinus one is more intimate. I really appreciated the "it is time we started valuing life" and was openly critical of the wastefulness of the war.

This is my third watch, I saw it twice in the theater, and my wife has now watched it 2x. which is an incredible compliment.

This is definitely my favorite Godzilla movie.
