If you loved Shin Godzilla, try The Return of Godzilla

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Return of Godzilla has roughly 4.7× fewer votes than Shin Godzilla — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Action / Horror / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shin Godzilla, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Return of Godzilla is

Tokyo Bay. A wrecked fishing trawler. One terrified survivor. Godzilla returns, bigger and meaner. Bureaucrats scramble; cold war paranoia flares as two superpowers propose nuclear solutions. See it as a sober, FX-laden reboot for the post-Hiroshima age.
