A new Gojira!

​



I didn't like the first one.
I didn't mind that the monsters only got 15 minutes of screen time, because in Godzilla movies the Kaiju are an unstoppable force of nature that humans can't do much against, so them slugging it out is not the main focus but serves instead as a backdrop to human drama and interaction. The problem is that in the previous Godzilla humans did fuck all with their time so the lack of hot monster action stuck out like a sore thumb.

Let's see if they make this one any better.

Wow, even compared to the last one Godzilla seems to have really let himself go.

Also I hope the hippy pseudo spiritual bollocks does not get in the way of a good giant monster film.

To be fair, Godzilla was always about the hippy pseudo spiritual bollocks about humans being a poison upon the earth with nuclear weapons and the various Kaiju being that "fever" to save the planet. The trailer, though, clearly equates too much "kill humanity" and "kill the planet".

Second trailer out already.

​



Looks like a solid number of monster scenes in all, promising a decent amount of monsters punching it out in glorious smoke-obscured CGI.


I could never take Mothra seriously. Fite me.

Second one was more inspiring than the first. Still not entirely sure they get it but at least have some hope that it won't get in the way of itself.

I've been a huge fan of the big G for a long, long, while... and I think this trailer looks great!
...but I'm trepidatious - I know what 'Hollywood' has done with the IP in the past, and I just hope that they don't succeed in dragging Mothra, King Ghidorah, Rodan, etc, down with Godzilla.
On the plus side; if it's only half as good as Giant Monsters All Out Attack or Destroy All Monsters it will be a fun time.

I hope so because it works in the past.Kaiju Soshingeki (1968 a movie with a bunch of monsters) has to be the LAST Godzilla movie back then,but the film was a great success and TOHO continues.:grog:

Personally i like the first Showa cycle.:bow: entertaining and occaisonally great movies.
Second Heisei was the time of great specail effects but for me they depart from the spirit of Honda.:sad: but..great movies with great effects.

Shin Godzilla HAS the spirit,the passion of the old Godzilla days.:)
and when they do it like 1968..........

That is a pretty sweet poster, however I dare say it is a bit overdone. One hasty tweak

:wacko:And for this very reason i´m no longer watch trailers and pay attention to this distracting movie posters.You MUST get disappointed.:angry:

I´ll gave Shin Godzilla EVERY chance:
- no trailers
- no pictures
- no spoilers etc.

it takes a LONG time since i can watch this movie here in austria BUT t was it worth.:toot:
the Gareth Godzilla in my opinion is and was a desaster like Emmerichs.:unsure:
The american (sorry don´t take it personally:grog:) Godzillas are.......*beep* no way for me.I also don´t like the last movies from the millenium cycle.:unsure:

(and they did it like every time,the "destroy" the movie before a gojira fan had a chance to like it....)

I watched the trailer and there were soldiers and there was King Ghidorah but they were never in the same shot. False advertizing :angry:
