Here's What We Know

After a successful launch on screens in its native Japan on 3 November, "Godzilla Minus One" is set to head overseas.

Ahead of its world premiere next month, the film has received perfect scores on Rotten Tomatoes - according to Variety.

While IGN claims that it is "a rousing, spectacle-filled blockbuster, Godzilla: Minus One takes the king of the monsters back to his roots in post-WWII Japan. The story is character-driven, but the monster scenes are exciting and effective."
