i hope he will be able to do something like a quick burst forwarsd so that he can charge his opponents

Zillahater is right. Godzilla looks not, like he's fast and the classic Godzilla isn't fast. He was fast in some Showa and Milenium Films, but the Godzilla of 2014 is supposed to be like the Heisei Godzilla and that means, he is slow. 
To make him slow is the better descision, because seeing him running would be kinda stupid.

Thanks for the websites.

Thanks, the total duration was about 5 hours :)

@ AKIO123: who was the second giant movie monster?

I never undestood the opsession with women and their shoes, or their hair, nails, cloths and boy bands. I say if you really need the shoes, then get them. Godzilla will understand. Besides, I think the SH Monsterarts series is the better toy line.

Most things indicate that he will be slow. And it makes sense.

Look at the legs on basically any Godzilla 2014(Even the old Encounter models)- They have these muscle builded, almost (ALMOST) elephantine-legs, that indicate a monster that, while being slow, is build to be a fortress, instead of the therapod legs made to run fast and hunt.

And being this big and slow, he most likely will not be able to burrow. Atleast not in the same way Zilla did.

However, the way he is build could give him a crocodille-like speed in water. Like a torpedo.

What I didn't like about the Heisei series is that it never explains how Godzilla came back after thirty years, and how he or she had a baby, and I applaud how they had a consistent character through out most of the movies, Miki Saegusa, but she just doesn't seem to be that interesting. She's supposed to be the one who doesn't want Godzilla killed, but Dr. Kyohei Yamanei was a way better character in the type. Maybe it's the performance of the actors or the ineptitude of the writers and directors. 

Amazing!

cuánto tardaste en hacerlo?

My Godzilla movie would still feel like a nuclear war film rather than a monster movie. I would have Godzilla die in the end, and if i make a sequel i might have the same characters and give an explanation on how there's another Godzilla.  I would also make my own Gamera movie, and it's sequel would have Godzilla and Gamera finally fight each other and eventually team up to take on a greater threat. 

Nicely done. Ending is a bit weird considering the fast paced nature of the trailer, could have stood to have a flash-cut jump into Godzilla roaring, but other than that, amazing work. 

Ok, I I................

I'm just suprised how good that is. If that was a real G-trailer..............

 wow it would be awesome just put a few more scenes and boom: Awesome Godzilla trailer.

Holy ****! That was epic. It would be really awesome if it is real trailer.

after whats been going on the past 2 days i think it is good you have posted this, bacuse only the offical website will give good infomation.

You forget the Godzilla Encounter Website ;)

Godzilla (2014) Encounter - http://godzillaencounter.com

Thanks for the info

I've always had trouble getting other people interested in Godzilla; and I view myself as a pretty reasonable, persuasive guy. 

Sure, I can (and have) gotten people to WATCH Godzilla movies. But then the movie itself always undoes whatever ground I gained. 

I mean, there is no one situation that is going to be true for everybody, but I think as a general rule, with the selection of films we have right now, there are ZERO Godzilla films you could show to somebody who isn't already a fan and pique their interest. They pretty much have to be fans already to like the movies. That being said, I don't run into very many Godzilla fans who have seen ALL 28/29 movies, and many don't even realize there are that many, so it is always nice to introduce a fellow G-fan to a 'new' one they haven't seen before :-)

I'm HOPING Godzilla 2014 will change that. I'm looking forward to finally getting an "I told you so" Godzilla film I can show to people w/out having to get embarassed or defensive.

But if that doesn't work, I guess I'll just have to raise my kids as Godzilla fans and call it victory enough.

guys calm down, i don't want my post to start a war, now @AKAGI i understand what your saying and i respect it, now i live in the UK, unlike the US the UK there is hardly anything to do with tokusatsu except power rangers and godzilla fans are very rare in the UK, so even introducing ultra man and gamera is hard plus i haven't seen a single dai kaiju movie outside of the godzilla series except mothra and rodan. also i asked this question because a friend of mine wanted me to suggest a movie to watch online, first i gave him a link to Gojira however he doesnt like black and white movies so i wanted to know a movie that was good and enjoyable for those who arn't fans. i'm not going to force friends to be fans, all i want to do is show them what the japanese godzilla is like compared to the 1998 version which is the only godzilla movie that most british people have watched.

Since I'm in my very early 20s I can't honestly see any of my friends except 1 maybe appreciating or even enjoying any of the older movies. As much as I personally hate the movie I'd probably show them GMK, or Godzilla 2000 and depending how they respond show them something else.

I mean, I'm not sure if this is more 'realistic' but it would be kinda cool/different if maybe it was like 'shouting' from Skyrim. 

Godzilla be all like: 

"Fus-Ro-SKREEONK"

Yeah China could make a significant difference of the film's prospects. It's apparently one of the largest film markets in the world (not surprising, but not something most people think about....including myself)

I was reading up on it earlier today, and apparently only 34 foreign films total get selected to play in China each year. Godzilla IS scheduled to release in Hong Kong already, but we won't know about a wide China release date until likely April or June.

In Godzilla's favor, they strongly prefer releasing films which can be shown in IMAX and 3D, since China has the second largest number of IMAX screens of any country in the world. 

On the downside: China's censors are pretty strict about not including movies that have any political statements, anti-Chinese sentiments, or pro-American ones. Basically, they only like movies which have basically no modern geo-political message whatsoever (like The Hobbit), or movies where the message is China positive, like Gravity, where Sandra Bullock takes refuge in a Chinese station.

I mean, it really depends on how the movie portrays Japan, the American military, and how heavy handed it's nuclear weapons/environmentalist messages may be, but most likely, if the movie glamorizes the U.S. military or talks about global warming too much China might nyx the film. 

I dunno, it's an interesting Box-Office X-Factor, and it will be very interesting to see what happens. China gave various American films anywhere from a $35-$150 million bump in 2013, which is actually a big deal any way you slice it. 

Here's hoping that China picks up Godzilla! :-)

Awesome, I think the final model will be quite similar to that

Dude, are very basic drawings, but I quite liked the penultimate

SCFANGODZILLAFAN11: Good Man! You have a Ron Swanson Seal of Approval and a Gold Star. 

I know it's tempting, but don't go spending the whole Gold Star at once. Those are hard to come by, don't want to waste it all on a wild weekend in Vegas ya know?

Blasphemy BCROCKET!!! You dare give aid to our enemies! I have not witnessed such a betrayal since Professor Miyajima helped rebuild MechaGodzilla in 1974. Ah it matters not, Godzilla prevailed then despite the traitors efforts, and he will prevail now. 

And I guess the Professor did redeem himself by sabotaging the control room later. Perhaps you too could be redeemed if you boo'd in the theater during the X-Men screening or don't turn off your cellphone or something. But if you fail to make to amends, The King will surely blast you with his Atomic Breath for your insolence!!!

Godzilla Victor!

this seems about what I would expect from a TV spot. Well done whoever made this.

Way to be condescending and passive aggressive Gman2887...any point you were trying to make is horribly cloaked by your pricklly comments.

 I got into godzilla because of my older brother showing me godzilla vs biollante.

ive never watched a movie where they don't screw up scale ever once in a while and im sure this wont be any different. Fricken cloverfield, they couldn't decide on the monsters size.

get them high and have them watch Godzilla vs Hedorah, it'll change their lives.

I think, that Godzilla must be not smaller than 700-779 feet. 

In my personal experience, I think its about the same. Though I would say both have had similar effects on their respective culture.

King Kong has inspired an entire generation of film makers in the west where as Godzilla, which was is technically inspired by Kong and other similar works, has inspired an entire generation of film makers in the East. 

But if this is a pissing contest of which monster is better known-- its impossible to say. 

@Gman2887

Wow, just wow. I can see how personally you're taking this, not sure at what point I started getting so snarky with you about it, but if i have, I apologize, but I'm really not appreciating it in return. 

Now you're just forcing yourself to disagree with me on every fascet. That happens when someone takes something personally. I'm especially appreciative of the general personal nature you're taking in your replies. Sorry if you took what I said personally, but its just my view. I could pick yours apart too but I honestly don't have time to argue with another adult over something so mundane and pointless.

I can sense the general pointlessly aggrevated context of your replies, which is, as I said a "but yeah" situation. I really don't care, specifically speaking on the fact we've hijacked this thread from the OP with our fantard babbling.

But considering the fact that I hang out with two very different types of people, one being elderly in their sixties and up and the other being otaku and weaboos-- the subtitle vs dub arguement is thrown up quite a bit and I can say people are pretty effin 50/50 on it. Particularly when it comes to elderly who don't want to read. Otaku and Weaboos are very 50/50 on the subject, and getting them in them into Godzilla is as easy as working them through superior tokusatsu works such as the Gamera Trilogy or Garo. I'm just appealing to the general sense of that generation, particularly considering the fact that even MOST Godzilla fans agree that the Gamera Trilogy is leaps and bounds better than even the best Godzilla film. 

I just see Godzilla as a much harder drug than most people are willing to take, and sometimes they need some easing into it. I also am adult enough to realize that forcing someone to sit through something as torturous as a showa Godzilla film would be to the average, johnny come lately millenial as being highly sadistic and naive-- and you're talking to someone who swears by the showa films, as I am known in my clique as the "showa fag" for constantly arguing how soulless most heisei tokusatsu is. 

*EDIT* As far as adults not being able to like Godzilla, if I have to repeat myself one more time I'm going to go insane. I never said adults can't enjoy it, but you have to admit, Godzilla and MOST monster films, if not all of them, are a young a heart kind of thing. Whether you're scared of the monster are rooting for them, its appealing to your inner child. Some people like to keep their inner child in a closet in the basement and from my personal experience, and particularly how I see people handling my statements-- Godzilla fans are pretty much always intune with their inner child, it shows through in their maturity. 

But I'm honestly done with this 'discussion' and I'd say its probably safe for the civility of our interactions if I avoided it hence forth. If you're annoyed with what I said, deal with it, as at this point I have a feeling you're going to do everything in your fanhurt body to argue and disagree with everything I say.

Nice to know :)

The problem isn't accepting we're in a niche franchise that's not popular with a larger audience. On the contrary, I love the fact that it's something I can hold to myself. That said, while noticed you said "I'm not saying it's impossible" to grab new fans through Godzilla, your elaboration on the other possibilities was merely, "but yeah."

I'm glad that convoluted method seems to work for you, but with the people I know I'd have better luck hitting the moon with a slingshot ricocheted off of Kim Jong-Un's forehead while aiming from the inside of a refridgerator. Different strokes indeed.

It's not easy, but it's not necessarily a mission either. Most franchises require an adolecent mindset to be raised from. Sure there are people who like Batman, but who are the Batman fans? The ones raised from a young age. Who was Batman aimed at? The children. Can Batman be for adults as well? Of course. Godzilla's no different, it simply comes from a different culture, different time and different mindset. Luckily I've grown to appreciate that mindset, understand it and, naturally, enjoy it. For those who trust me and want to listen, they can as well-- just not on the slow grown, nostalgic scale that we've enjoyed.

Best not to pretend it's simple to get non-fans involved in the franchise, but Tanaka would also roll an equal amount in his grave at the insinuation that adults were too cynical to enjoy it as well.

Edit in response to the dub comment: Everyone I've introduced it to prefer subtitles to dubbing. That goes for any foreign film.

Thanks Josh! People need to know what are the official sites. If you're searching information that is 100% legit, go to those websites so you don't have to get disappointed when something from unreliable source that is assumed to be legit turns out to be false/fake. 

known in name alone, or actually seeing a movie?

They're both very known in name alone as they are parodied, referenced, and have been around forever, so pretty even in that sense, but if it's people who know about the characters and have seen at least 1 movie it's gotta be Kong by a long shot.

@Gman

Ah you know what, I originally wrote a big wall of text and I realized it was redundant. If you wanna recieve what I said like that, I can't change that. I guess my point is don't torture people with Godzilla unless they already have a mild interest in it, Godzilla isn't a love hate thing, its more like a love, sort of like, mildly curious, or hate thing. 

And my point still stands; most people aren't going to get into Godzilla unless they already have a mild interest in it to begin with, how they get that interest is subjective. It could be from a hardcore fan explaining it in a way that appeals to that person or it could be a goofy gif-meme on the internet.

But I know everyone posting in this forum right now didn't get into Godzilla that way, we were all more than likely under the age of ten when we first saw it-- and for that statement alone, my point stands. Godzilla fans are more often than not, raised, not magically converted.

If you wanna deny that, then you're free too, but Tomoyuki Tanaka made sure Godzilla was a franchise directed toward children throughout his life and not for us cynical, hard to please, internet debating, over analytical adults-- and we cynical adults have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that we like something that has been, since the sixties, aimed at children. 

That was pretty cool
