Once again an entire thread devoted to something that could've been said in another thread. Does anyone here have any concept of consolidating information? Organization? Sub-topics within topics? No? Bummer...
it is possbile, and if so it probably is a hint of a monster in a sequel and like i said on the other post, biollante would be the best choice because 1. she is the result of a crazy experiment in her movie, if she was in the sequel she could be a result of trying to make a super crop, 2. she could be/is the allegory of genetic engineering which is also a modern heated debate 3. she is AWESOME, she is my second favourite monster behind ghidorah (3rd if i include godzilla who would obviously would be #1)
Lol to be off topic, I love how everyone here is talking about Kyero, looks like im not the only one being annoyed by his smart ass, and also HANNIBALBARCA is not KYERO, Kyero likes to write useless paragraphs of his assumptions. So Hannibal whoever you are, please dont add another smartass to this forum we already have enough.
But to be on topic, wellll its still taking a long time for the movie to release but BRING IT ON ;)
Hahahah you guys are delusional.
Dragonlord Tevin, there is a chance that Legendary and Warner bought them and are keeping them secret and it would be cool for them to show a Toho monster like Deadite Kaiju said, but rights cost a fortune, and chill out, you're freaking out over nothing. If people think there are not any other Toho monsters, it is fine. Just let them think what they want to think.
I'll throw my hat in for a prediction:
IMDB 7.9
Rotten Tomatoes: 73%
^ these are not based on anything, and no time travel was used in the gathering of these numbers. It is simply a prediction based on a teaser trailer and 0% knowledge of overall plot.
I think I've got myself covered :)
Yeah i Already new it was going to be unlikely but it was just hypothetical
ok i changed my mind i'd say 55-90% on RT and 70-99 on IMDB and i hope it is worth a 9/10 for my rating
It's possible, I just think it's silly to get your hopes up. I just find it hard to believe they would spring for another monster on top of Godzilla on his first outing (before they know if the interest is there).
ok ok ok, sorry if i sounded like a smart ass, i don't want to be like the smart asses in this forum (you know who they are)
GODZILLAFAN1995 dude does it matter if its too early to talk about this, we're PREDICTING here, we're not rating the movie already, the movie hasnt even come out yet? So no? We're not rating the movie, we're PREDICTING our ratings, is something wrong with that? Its like asking "Do you think its gonna rain tomorrow?", it's predicting, not assuming for the future.
Limme predict:
Rotten Tomatoes - 84%
IMDB - 8.8 stars
But for my very own rating, I'll predict that ill give it a 9.8/10
Cuz you know, I LOVE watching serious movies with great characters and story, but combining it with GODZILLA and more giant monsters will make it the BEST MOVIE EVER.
Yes yes I know. It is too early to judge it and we haven't seen enough footage from the movie, but "as for now" I am just asking what your guys thoughts are and what you believe the movie will be rated /10.
DEMPLEX, is that true?
How do you know this?
can we not wait till the movie is released or when an offical 'trailer' comes out. but i'd say between 4.5-8
Yeah thats what im saying, it is possible
DEMPLIX lol dont worry I was, i was just saying that cuz no one really even knows that Legendary could still be keeping something a secret or not.
We shouldn't start judging the movie this early, especially if we're using the teaser to base our opinions. Putting the concern aside, I think the Godzilla movie will at least get a 5.
I agree man. Legendary and Warner Bros could be lying for all we know. Who knows if they won't show a TOHO monster at the end credits or something. It is possible.
"Neg date" means when the trailer will be finished and ready. I'm sure we'll get a trailer online before the new 300 movie debuts. The same happened in December.
If only I had at least a paper and pencil with me. I'm not even near my computer, so I can't sketch out an idea as of now.
Lol DragonlordTevin calm down please. Anyways it would be cool to see this, but it's unlikely. Godzilla already costed a crap-load of money for Legendary to purchase. What makes you thinl other Toho mpnsters wouldn't cosr at least a penny?
After the end credits it would be cool if they showed King Ghidorah flying over a city and shooting his lazer beams at everything.
If that is true then I will be disappointed. Ah well, I guess we have to wait and see. I heard the MUTO will be in the next trailer so I can't wait to see it.
I seriously can't wait for the movie to be released. I wish I could go into a freezer, wait till the movie comes out and then unfreeze myself. Just like Futurama lol.
Meh Im fine if a trailer does not come up that day. Besides I think its perfect to hold on to it till March 7th on the release of the 300 sequel.
yeah there is too many of these posts
Lulz...
I can't wait for this movie to be released so the arguments will at least be differnet.
biollante seems the best choice when it comes to all the toho monsters and she is the most pratical (due to her being a mixture of plants and godzilla dna) however i'd say she would be in the sequel in which at the end of this movie we see godzilla dna tampered and a rose is shown next to it. biollante is the best choice because she an abomination of nature and she is man made and the mutos maybe man made as well. however i doubt that will happen and it's probably the best.
So first of all, FUCK WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT LEGENDARY DIDNT BUY ANY OTHER TOHO MONSTERS, cuz really, Legendary isnt just gonna tell and spoil us a TOHO monster in the film, cuz if there was one in the movie then theyd keep it a secret.
Im not saying there is a TOHO monster in the movie, but if there was one, then of course theyll keep it secretive, cuz look how secretive they were keeping Godzilla himself, another TOHO monster in the movie would be more important to be hiding.
Ok sorry about that now back to topic, id probably like to see Biollante in the movie cuz she's pretty realistic and sensible to make if u think about it, so yes Biollante
KAIJUJIRA dude the movie's out, it came out yesterday
It's probably accurate, I think a lot of kids like those Vampire movies and TV shows. Not sure but I think it is marketed to young teenage girls just like Twilight and there are a few television shows about vampires aimed at the young adult demographic too (I actually thought this was a TV show).
It's not my cup of tea, but then again I get looks and giggles from people when they hear I like Star Trek so, to each their own I suppose.
Lets do this after the films release and besides it has a rating of 7.3 on IMDB were people concentrate on the rating the most.
and Plus lets not be Dou**bags and rate the film down, just saying.
not that youre and any other g fan is responsible for it, just worried that some G fans might go do that.
(Update):By the films release I meant Godzilla not VA.
Mechagodzilla vs. Dragonzord ;)
Linkman,
You're free to examine it how you want, but I can claim you're equally guilty, if not more so, of "cherry picking." Here's some to further support my claim:
You're right that some (but not all) trailers aired condensed versions of what was later shown on youtube, but that didn't help matters. Trandformers: Age of Extinction had no extended trailer and still beat out Captain America 2 by 2-3 million views at the 6 day mark.
Need for Speed had an extended trailer as well as a 30 second Super Bowl spot, but was still beaten out by Maleficant (which was a trailer released over the weekend) and A Million Ways to Die in the West, which was a recently released red band trailer.
Most promoted channels had The Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailers in the thousands, marking it to around $3 million at the 5-6 day mark.
You already mentioned Noah, but in the tradition of "cherry picking" as you call it, you omitted it to support your argument. (Despite the fact it's a high profile film by an acclaimed director and A-list cast.)
I'm not saying a Super Bowl spot would not have raised awareness to Godzilla, but I am saying there's not much evidence to support it. Especially when a 30 second Transformers spot out paces the advertised extended trailers.
But lets not forget the Super Bowl ads that do not showcase films. The "Villian Jaguar" spot, featuring Mark Strong, Tom Hiddleston and Ben Kingsley, had 8 million views Sunday night before midnight. Transformers: Age of Extinction, had not yet broke 1 million views before midnight Sunday night. (And that's the movie spot that's done the best.) You can check the Hollywood Reporter to back me up as well.
The fact is these longer, non-film ads are more bankable and more popular. Sports shows, before and after the Super Bowl, would talk about Super Bowl ads and typically condemn the movie spots. One in particular said, and I quote, "It's not a super bowl spot. It's a movie trailer." And dismissed them from being included as a favorite.
It still could've been done yes. And you're right it still could have helped the film, but that's still admitting it as a possibility and not a fact. Which it is not.
As for Paramount and Star Trek. It does not outright say they lost money from the Super Bowl spot, but to make such a claim suggests analysts and other executives didn't think it was worth the money either. Notice Paramount didn't have an ad in the Super Bowl this year.
Meanwhile, winning the MTV competition would not have hurt Godzilla, but recongnition and free help only matters if its productive. The MTV poll was not. It had no bearing on helping Vampire Academy and likely made less of an impact than other superfluous internet polls such as Crave Online's trailer polls from last December. The Lego Movie had almost no presense in that poll and tore Vampire Academy to shreds at the boxoffice.
Shit I just did a discussion about Vampire Acedemy's rating but didnt see this one, sorry about that lol
Its possible that the roar changed due to the advances in technology my favorite roar is the burning godzilla and the 84 roars respectively.
i think the GMK Suit was the worst because of the posture of it but i also think it was the most sinister that bad boy was mean just like Godzilla 98.
I think your reasoning is a bit flawed here and since this is basically coming across as your way of saying "see I was right?" I'm goina tear into it.
With the Vampire Academy thing what more people were fighting for was merely a to make a statement. People wanted Godzilla to win. That's what it came down to.
As for the Super Bowl, you're cherry picking examples here. Let's look at the broader trends.
During the Super Bowl not all the trailers were full length. Several studios did something VERY smart and premiered a 30 second spot for a full trailer that could be visited at a website that was included in the commercial, so they paid less in advertising AND were able to give people a new look at the film. What has this resulted in? Captain America's trailer is now up to over 12 million views on youtube on one video. the Spiderman 2 trailer is a little harder to analyze since Sony doesn' seem to have an official video... the Super Bowl spot itself has 200,000 views, while the longer trailer itself has several postings, including quite a few with over 200,000 respectively. Transformers is up to over 2 million views on one video. Noah isn't doing so hot but let's face it not many people are paying attention to that film to begin with plus it's trailer was during the first commercial break before the coin flip even happened when not many people were paying attention. Same for the muppets. Now while you are right in saying that the Godzilla trailer got more views in three days than most of these did, since then the official youtube view count is only up to 13 million views, which means only a 3-5 million view increase in the two months since it's release.
Now I'm not trying to put down Godzilla don't take this as me saying that. However, you can't honestly say that a Superbowl spot, especially one showcasing Godzilla himself and/or a Muto, wouldn't have lead to a significant amount of increased attention.
Now, part of everything said above can partially be chocked up to when the footage aired obviously. The trailers that didn't do as well were, in general, aired in the second half of a football game that, as we all know, sucked. You can't honestly say though that having a Superbowl trailer wouldn't have helped the film, nor can you say that having one would have hurt it because we don't know. However, considering how many people are already excited for this film, it probably would have drawn more views, not to mention it woud have still gotten the movie out to about a 100 million more people had it been aired in the first half of the game.
Point is, it still could have been done and it still could have helped the film. Just because Star Trek regretted doing it doesn't constitute evidence that a Super Bowl trailer is a waste of money, especially since JJ Abrams has said recently that his biggest regret about the film wasn't making it apparent that the villain was Kahn, which promoting could have actually increased ticket sales simply for the name recognition.
As for Vampire Academy, winning a competition couldn't have hurt Godzilla, especially since how hard we fought for it got it's name out there more, so who cares if VA only has made a million or two bucks... any sales help and any increase in name recognition helps, especially when it's free.
