Same. It was Godzilla 2012 and hell, the number of fanmade trailers was beyond belief
That movie was 16 god damn years ago? No it's not going to be the same, new Godzilla, fighting monster, ACTUAL DESTRUCTION, the only thing the same about these movies is the title. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't see it just because of sony's fail of a reimagine
Here's all I got to say
i heard about in 2011 but at that time it was a rumour called godzilla 2012
Destoroyah would be really cool, one of my favorite monsters.
Worst design? Garbara in my opinion and I never liked Mothra, exept in GMK.
Yeah, but it's not like that crappy vampire movie is gonna be a success anyway, it's a stupid shitty comedy with a lot of stuff we've seen a million times, and they mix it up with Twilight. Godzilla, however, you can get a lot of good material, and make a good story from the character. So I think Godzilla is still gonna beat that crappy vampire movie in real life anyways.
Either those people have no faith, or they're just uneducated idiots that knows nothing about Godzilla other than Zilla.
Sadly Godzilla is loosing. Vampire Aacademy is garbage for teenage girls, who like horrible movies. Vampires are supposed to be like dracula not like this.
It not simply going back to the roots of Godzilla, but about tonal consistancy. For example, you wouldn't put a David Bowie song in the end credits of Jaws just because it's a popular song. It would ruin the mood of the movie and probably not make a lot of sense.
Jaws had more score by John Williams during the end credits and I'm almost positive that will be the case with Godzilla and Desplat.
On the [very] off chance there is an end credits song, however, it won't be metal. It won't be dubstep. It won't be poppy electronica...etc... It will probably be some other genre that fits the movie and, honestly, a type of song a lot of people here wouldn't listen to. Remember, Edwards is an indie filmmaker at heart. He's not going to junk his movies up with metal and dubstep.
@The-True-Batman
Actually I'm quite enjoying the discussion; but since you feel the need to chime in and repeat things I've already said, I'll, once again, admit that I completely agree it would raise awareness to the general public. But a trailer that costs that much money needs to do more than simply raise awareness. There needs to be promise of return. You hit a ceiling in promotions depending on the outlet/medium and after a few million, you've very much hit it. I'm sorry you're unable to understand such a concept.
I enjoy that you're telling me what marketing is about considering my work though. That was amusing.
You're right 8 votes in a day isn't much... 8% is! With 3 days left of voting if we got Godzilla up in the polls by 8% more each day he would win
^I can attest that it's mostly been that way since I've interacted with it in 1997...
Durp has a point that King Ghidorah has been done in a lot of different ways, but I can't agree that he's reached the apex of his character and shouldn't be used anymore. We could make the same argument for Godzilla.
In the Batman comics many of his rogues gallary are used over and over and over to the point of redundancy, but they keep coming back.
I think giving King Ghidorah a fresh lease in a film would be an excellent idea. Toho seems to look at King Ghidorah as the Joker to Godzilla's Batman-- complete foils of one another no matter what side they stand on. I think one interesting place to focus on would be their rivalry in from a civilian point of view. It would interesting to look at the ramifications of the monsters intentionally trying to hunt one another down.
My favourite post is the What Is M.U.T.O. fourm i came up with about a few days ago.
Durp - I hear you when you say Ghidorah has been done to death. You are absolutely right. But I damn sure would squeal like a little school girl if he showed up in the world that Edwards is creating....like if he was teased at the end of the film-like how the joker was teased at the end of batman begins.
There are some things that just make a godzilla film feel like a godzilla film to me-the design of g himself, the scale (massive destruction-not like 98), the music,...and some goddamn king ghidorah would make me feel right at home :)
I hate the fucking vampires!
Yeah because, you know, a movie titled "Cloverfield" that was critically acclaimed (77% on Rotten Tomatoes), was produced on $25 million and ends up grossing $170 million can be considered a total flop.
I thought a movie that ends up gaining almost 7 times its original budget at the box office and that gets praised by critics such as Roger Ebert could be considered a success but yeah, lets screw logic. Cloverfield was a total flop!!! Why?! Well just because, according to fanboys, he is not Godzilla.
Yeah, I like where this fanbase is going :/
no offence but, 8 votes up is not alot, also despite godzilla being 100,000,000 times better than some movie that milks the successs of the twilight series which appeals to teenage girls and mtv audiences are mostly teenage girls, a vote for movies on mtv that includes crappy twilight copies is going to get the most votes. but we all know that this movies WILL be better.
Don't be discouraged guys. When I first checked this poll yesterday afternoon godzilla was losing 21-79... Now it's 29-71. Keep voting and getting others to get out the vote! If we can make it past this one I think Godzilla will make it to the finals!
This is godzilla we are talking about not clover before that movie we did not even know what clover was now godzilla has been an icon for 50 years he will be fine
akio123@ godzilla is black at night but the fight with the military he is green. i even saw a little green with his battle with orga also he was green through godzilla vs megaguirus
fair point, i just wanted to make a point im my opinion because of the ghidorah was made weak (from what i heard) a weak earth defender in G:KoM comics. i would count kiezer ghidorah in but his apperence and name make him a vairant to 'king' ghidorah, not the 'king' ghidorah. i understand that there are a lot more monsters that need a revamp,(ghidorah is not my #1) biollante i think 'needs' a comeback, then rodan and titanosaurus.
i luv the desighn but i have 2 complaints. 1. necks little fat. 2. his feet look wierd
I don't really see any problem with him getting defeated after the controls for him got destroyed. Space Godzilla got beaten after his tower got knocked down, mechaG destroyed when his plating got melted off. The point is before those things happened Ghidorah mechaG, and Spacegodzilla were all winning by a lot, then something happened that turned the tide in Godzilla's favor. Godzilla was getting wrecked by Ghidorah for most of that fight and the thing Ghidorah got that neither of the other monsters did was a round 2 were he came back and basically tied if not beat Godzillla as Mecha King Ghidorah. Overall I don't see any problem with his power in this movie. He was beating Godzilla in not just 1 fight but 2.
I don't agree with this "potential" word you keep using as I said throughout most of the showa Godzilla needed help to beat him. Gigan is somwhat of an exception but at the end of that movie after Gigan ran away both Godzilla and Anguirus fought Ghirorah. In the heisei he was winning then something happened that turned the tides, but came back later on and beat him. GMK was never supposed to have Ghidorah but they subbed him into the script over Varan to make more money so that's the real reason he did so poorly in that 1. Then there's Final wars where he was once again winning until something turned the tide in Godzilla's favor.
The only really 1 sided fight throughout the whole series is Destroy All Monsters and, but every other time Ghidorah holds his own. There is no other monster besides maybe MechaG that always wrecks Godzilla to that extent when he's in a movie.
So should they make Ghidorah better? God no I know a lot of people will argue with me if I said Destroyah was Godzilla's most powerful oponent and the main other contender would be Ghidorah. To give him more would just put him leagues above every other monster and Godzilla for that matter.
@Gman2887, I have to agree with you tht the more and more I think about it, this is going back to the dark roots of the original film, so yeah Radioactive wouldn't really go well with the tone. I'm very excited to see what Mr. Desplat has up his sleeve for this movie.
Fellow fans, I understand where you are coming from, but girls and teenage boys with girlfriends are spamming that vampire academy button right now. Those losers don't know what a good movie is! Watch guys, when godzilla comes out and they watch it, they are going to regret paying 9.95 or 14.95 for tickets to a stupid vampire movie they watched. Godzilla will win this battle, maybe not for mtv, but în theaters near you.
This article was just posted and the godzilla section is pretty relevant to this thread.
http://www.denofgeek.us/movies/movie-franchises/232241/the-12-potential-movie-franchise-starters-of-2014
i never said king ghidorah was stupid, i simply said i wished he had high intelligence like spacegodzilla did (as many fans say). and i recognise that he has been in the most movies in the franchise beside (godzilla and mothra) compared to other monsters. my point was that in all his movies he isn't given the potential, for example in the heisei movies, he was tough against the atomic breath but got defeated because of his mindcontrol got broke and godzilla got the advantage, heisie ghidorah did probably destroy the most cities but, mg2 almost killed godzilla, spacegodzilla is said to be highly intelligent and very evil, destoryah was ruthless, evil and tough.
I have seen all 28 movies, and the Godzilla desin I like the most is the Millenium Godzilla (Godzilla 2000 to Final Wars). The new 2014 design has a wolflike snout and look, and is missing the small ears (Yes, all Toho Godzilla have ears!). That is why he isn't a true reptillian. He always had ears, a bearlike body, teeth and fangs that show through closed jaws (not the "overbite" in the 2014 model), and humanoid hands (but only three fingers and a thumb, all with claws). His basic shape looks like a Tyrannosaurus with much larger hands and arms, giving the desired predator stance.
Obviously, he always had a humanoid shape because the Toho designs are suits with an actor inside. That is what made Godzilla such a dominant and intelligent monster.
@GMAN2887 The main thing here is that this event would get the trailer out to other people. Statistics and studies don't matter. Who cares if they watch it again? The point is to get a large amount of people to acknowledge the movie exists. That's what marketing is about. Playing it safe gets you no where. You have to take financial risks in order to reach new audience. This discussion is closed. You are fighting just to preserve the dominance of your opinion, pitiful.
King Ghidorah does not need to be in any godzilla movie for a while. If you count Keizer Ghidorah as the same(which i do) then Ghidorah has been in 7 Godzilla movies out of 28(29 if you count the American 1). That's a ridiculous number of movies for a monster to appear in besides the main character monster Godzilla. Right now if you had a pile of random Godzilla movies and you blindly picked 4 chances are 1 of the movies would have Ghidorah.
He's been portrayed every way possible, alien, future monster, mecha, good guy, bad guy, a monster that needed a lot of monsters to take down, a monster that 1v1ed godzilla, and monster that needed help taking down Godzilla, was it basically a tag match. So he's been given every since way to look. He doesnt need to be portrayed in a different way because he's been portrayed in basically every way possible. He is almost always controlled, but his intelligence isn't really stupid, he's extremly tough throughout the showa, and even heisei series, and he destroys everything. He's as good as he's gonna get, and he doesnt need another chance to try to make him better
IT would be a dream come true for Godzilla to beat a teen vampire movie though...that would be so sweet.....I'll b e like, "damn right, that just happened"
I don't think there'll be any monster-monster fights in water environments..but with humans, likely. Plus, with a really possible sequel, they could reserve epic monster water battles for that.
TO FLOP OR NOT TO FLOP...It's always the predicament of all movies...but to say immediately assume a movie would flop because of the difference in the marketing in countries isn't really so valid....
I mean seriously, look at the kind of trailer this movie had...when was the last time a similar trailer, which focused on the tone of the film but didn't reveal the most delicious things in from the film just to get people interested...it did so kinda like poetry.
This movie has been long in the making and wasn't rushed, they also have talented people, fans even, that were in its making, TOHO even had their say. People also know about how different this movie feels like, and lastly, Godzilla's a huge name.
All I gotta say is that this Godzilla has one of my favorite designs, if not the most since we haven't really seen it in action yet.
Keep in mind guys, the older movies are directed towards kids.. I watch them now and realize "this is fucking stupid".. but I mean.. It's Godzilla.
He looks different from the old suits, but my god from what I seen, I'm stoked! Hopefully the toe and small feet isn't actually true, if it is, oh well. I love it and can't wait to see this movie
Also, I'm pretty sure Toho won't allow any company to take the title "Godzilla" and it not being Godzilla anymore, plus that would be the dumbest thing legendary and the producers could do.
