Reception
The film is widely acclaimed in Kaiju fan circles as not only the best in the series, but also one of the greatest monster films ever made. Notable points made are about the film's unusually intelligent and thought-provoking tone, the quality of the direction and script, the deep characters, the stunning special effects and the film's abnormally dark and violent ending. Cult-movie reviewing site Stomp Tokyo gave the film a five out of five, calling it the best kaiju film since the legendary original Godzilla movie.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
