Hey guys sorry it took so long for me to come back. It seems I have enough positive comments to make this happen so I am going to post the first discussion on Gojira (1954) later today. Sadly, I havent seen all of the Japanese and American versions of some of the films, but I will to try talk about those differences. It will be a new thread per movie because some people might be talking about the former movie after I post the newer movie discussion and it would get kind of confusing.
I think I might do the 98 movie but we'll ee when we get there. Tune in for the discussion later today!
When I first heard the name Godzilla was the 1998 one, but then I moved on to well, the Japanese version of him in the movie, Godzilla vs King Kong and I was hooked on Japanese version from then on.
For America's number 1 Box Office movie of 2014, probably not. But, on a Global Scale, Godzilla will be a Box office success and worldwide it will be the number 1 box office movie of 2014.
age 1, my uncles showed me the oorigional, the best part is that i can still remember the event vaugly. after i saw the movie, it sort of burned into my brain.
It was Christmas and me and my sister were opening presents and my Dad turns on GMK and fast forward seven years and now I own everysingle Godzilla movie and almost every monsters action figure.
When I was two, my Mom and Dad were watching Godzilla 2000, and I when I went into the living room, my eyes lit up. I have been a Godzilla purist ever since. I am 13 now, and I know more about Godzilla than anyone in my school by far.
And that my friend, is our job to do...make it happen or make it even have a better success
1. thecost to toho monster rights beside godzilla is a lot, so they can't request too many monsters, 1 or 2 is fine
2. it is safer to make original monster, with some homage to toho's monster
3. i think getting mecha godzilla for either this movie or any possible sequels will ruin the tone of the movie, it will be the same reason why people complain about pacific rim.
if they did aquire rights to 1 or more toho monsters, i would just want king ghidorah, and i want a bad ass, pure evil ghidorah, or some homage to him, he is the arch enemy of godzilla after all.
i agree with gman2887 X-men: Days of Future Past will be competition, in the past xmen series has not got to the financial success that sam rami's spiderman or even transformers have had, however recently the xmen series has made good movies now, first class and wolveriene and this new movie looks like a really good movie, the amazing spiderman 2 may do well because of the name but 1. it doesnt look interesting to me 2. this movie is 2 weeks in front of godzilla, it would make most of its money by then.
My mom took me to see GODZILLA1985 in theaters when i was 4 the rest is history.
I see GODZILLA doing about as well as pacific rim wich is'nt bad,as for TF4 no no contest even with the dinobots in it(wich there is a five dinobot team but they replaced slag-stegosaurus and sludge-brontosaurus with a spinosaurus and a velociraptor-beastwars dinobot?).
im pretty sure the godzilla vs hedorah had influence in this movie, so if the mutos 'did' combine (not saying they will) to make a bigger monster, it will be like hedorah, not destroyah. im pretty sure the heisie series had no influence in this movie, the godzilla 2000 suit may have been influence for this new godzilla.
One atomic breath an the transfomers are destroyed. Transformers aren't good films in my opinion. Hopefully Godzilla will be more popular.
Amazing Spider-Man 2 already isn't tracking very well. Plus it's released two weeks before Godzilla. It's not the threat that people think it is. X-Men Days of Future Past on the other hand...
I'd like to chime in one last time here.
The Godzilla perspective is going to be tricky to get just right, so do think that one over very carefully before finalizing it in your process.
Anyway, my last thought about Brody's story would be this: Is it going to be more narrative driven or more action drive? Certain games seem to be drive more by a very strict storyline with a specific ending in mind. Other games are more action drive, and rely on the player's choices to discover their ultimate fate at the end.
Which will you choose for Brody? I imagine that since you are designing this game for yourself and other Godzilla fans that you won't copy the story of the 2014 movie exactly, so which would you prefer for Brody? Personally, I'm for the latter, with the success or failures of his missions along the way driving him towards a slightly different ending each time.
I don't know if anyone's found these yet, but when you type in "door to hell" in the mutos database, it says some EXCITING stuff! Type it in yourself, but it says, "GAS RESERVES HOLDING. FIRE MEMBER OBSCURING MEMBRANE LAYER AND FUELING INCUBATION."
*fanboy squeal*
I think that there might be some new "natural" kaiju as well as the genetically manipulated ones, because this message points to a few things.
1. this thing is inside a membrane, still in incubation, a scientist could not have constructed a membrane under an eternally-burning hole in the ground, which means it may be as natural as kaiju get. I mean, it even sounds like the "door to hell" might be some part of its SPECIES lifecycle, rather than just a natural gas fire, considering it's growing beneath it, DUE to the flames!
2. There may be other phenomena that could be expained through these "natural" kaiju, such as the bermuda triangle being a monster that generates massive electromagetic fields.
3. Godzilla could have temporary allies, or even more enemies, perhaps the natural kaiju would be kept for a possible sequel?
I dunno, I found it and wondered if anyone knew about it or if I were the first one, do with this new info as you will!
:D
you two think what you will but i hope personally that godzilla will never be a lizard, thats just an annoying steryotype thats been around forever
And also , I believe the amazing Spider-Man 2 to be the compitition here, cuz u know, transformers is another month so I don't really see a compitition here that much since there's other movies in May and close to godzilla already
@DRAGONLORD TEVIN I'm talking about the first train sequence. There are two shots of the same train being destroyed. I do agree with the 2nd train near the end being attacked by Godzilla.
Yeah true i don't give about which makes more money or becomes more popular, but if I had to choose, Michael bay fucked UP the transformers series so idk it might get lowered in box office this time
I think it could work with a little tweaking. I'd still prefer the Godzilla section to be in 3rd person, something about controlling a character of that size in first person seems a little disorentating. Maybe an over the should view kind of like Dead Space as a happy medium. But I do like the Idea of Brody's gameplay being sort of "Call of Duty"-ish. I'm intrigued by this.
Perhaps two different trains? Lol but yeah im serious, the first shot does not look like godzilla destroying it, only a different monster of that shape and color, and the scene where people are dead lying everywhere with a train stomped probably looks more like godzillas, there could be two trains in the movie getting destroyed
Gojiranut, The film wasn't about Godzilla striking back against the thing that created him, but rather the age old "Nature strikes back" trope. Also, The point of the monster was the create a "personified" Hiroshima bomb, to show the horrors of nuclear weapons in a more..easily digested way. Also, the film would be pretty boring if it was Godzilla attacking a nuke.
Now, as for my opinions on the movie? It's pretty excellent, it has a slow, plodding & dreadful pace and atmopshere that really captures the mood they where after. The soundtrack? sublime. Sure, the suit does a look a little goofy at times, but at it's core it's a very dark & somewhat disturbing film. It's the one Godzilla movie I would show in college Film class, it's pretty much the finest film in the genre.
I don't care if it does well, I don't care if the critics bash it & I don't care if it never gets a sequel. As long as I like it none of that matters to me. As long as the movie is everything I hoped for I couldn't care less about how "movie critics" feel about it, how much or little money it made or how many sequels it gets.
I dont really care if Godzilla reaches number 1 or anything,or beats transformers.
as long as Godzilla Succeeds gets good reviews, ratings, and makes enough money to get 2 sequels.
thats all I care about.
@MikeyNamez
I never, ever, ever said that Hunger Games: Catching Fire was a good movie because it made a lot of money, nor would I ever make such a claim. I said it was a more highly anticipated movie than Godzilla and the numbers back that up. Read next time before you jump to conclusions.
@Chris Picard
I love Pacific Rim, more than Gravity actually, and I'll enjoy for years to come more than Gravity. But Pacific Rim the best movie of 2013? Come on. It's unique, it's fun, it's original, but it still has a large set of flaws that keep it from stacking up to movies like Gravity, Captain Philips, American Hustle...etc...
Pacific Rim is my favorite movie of the year. But I say that fulling accepting its faults and understanding it's also not the best of the year.
Personally, and I know I'm probably in the minority in this, I actually enjoyed the American version more. The narration but Raymond burr and way the movie was paced made it seem like you were really listening to a news broadcast, or reading an article about it with images in the back. While the main characters, and love triangle in the Japanese 1 were glossed over after watching the Japanese version I didn't find that it added much. Not to say it was bad, just that I preferred the American version, I still enjoy and fnd the Japanese 1 very good.
Transformers movies, despite getting bad reviews do very well in the box office. Transformers will do better along with spiderman 2, and the x men movie that are all coming out around Godzilla
This was already posted by InstinctiveGigan, in this topic here. It was confirmed a fan-made image. Gonna lock this topic to prevent repeat discussion.
In my opinion, Godzilla tramples those tin-cans! I despise the Transformers movies by Micheal Bay (he ruined the name, just like ronald Emmerich with Godzilla).
However, with the appearance of the Dinobots in the next Transformers movie, I think TF4 is going to do very well.
You fanboys need to grow up and open your eyes,There are lot of people that never know or watch Godzilla.. You have to repect other..There are certain film that teally are amazing,like hunger games or gravity..Godzilla is not the only one big blockbuster on 2014 is it? Most of people are looking forward for some movies that already have name and show their fangs in the box office.. But still,Godzilla will be the one that top it all
I agree with DC67. The younger set and even the majority of the older crowd (50+) have no interest in Godzilla. One great move they made and i think will be a MAJOR roll in helping this be a success is Bryan Cranston. All of the Breaking Bad fans will surely want to know what he is up to after the show ended and with this being his first role it will attract alot of people that normally wouldn't see it.
"WHAT IS THERE OPINION?"
That makes no sense you know. 'There' is most commonly used to describe location, or can also be used to indicate the fact that you're talking about something such as I do very shortly below. 'Their' is used to describe other people. 'They're' is a combination of "There Are".
What were you trying to say?
Either way, there is zero confirmation that the MUTOs can combine in any way, shape, or form. The only information on MUTO we have is that one has eight leges and another has wings. That's it. End of list.
There is no opinion to be had on the matter. Those are the facts.
If you are trying to say that the MUTO creatures can combine, then that is your opinion which, might I add, is one based on nothing more than false information and fan speculation that was taken as fact by people who are ignorant and who don't know how to do research or pay attention to something called a 'source'. In no way does that mean that it is correct in any way. In fact, it just solidifies the fact that you have no idea what you're talking about if you do in fact mean to tell us that the MUTO creatures can combine.
It's entirely untrue and baseless. No facts. No quotes. No sources. Nothing.
Give it up alredy. The MUTO creatures do not combine.
Ooo! Komodo's are big, nasty and voracious...I'd accept that origin.
You have to factor in that not everyone's a fan of G. I'm a child of the 70's, and here in the SF Bay Area the films were a staple of Creature Features and the Chiller Diller Saturday matinees (along with the orginal Ultraman) and this is why I'm looking forward to this film; nostalgia. But to the modern, younger set, I can see why there isn't a huge buzz for it. I for one am grateful that it was made!
Transformers sucks! and michael bay sucks too! yeah, the music and the fight scenes are epic, but you have to wait an entire hour of cliche drama, boring history, and unfunny forced jokes to see the fights.
@GMAN2887 ... so your saying just because it made alot of money its a good movie? Thats some backwards logic if you ask me.
Here are some examples of other movies that were terrible but made a ton of money.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Box Office: $607.7 Million
The Da Vinci Code
Box Office: $758.2 Million
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Box Office: $961 Million
... And most people are mindless drones these days so of corse a Third Hunger Games will be more anticapated then the first Godzilla. Sequals always do better but doesnt mean it will be any good.
One of the best, I agree. But I still think Pacific Rim brought it home for best movie of 2013. Visuals, enjoyment and uniqueness factors were all there. I'm expecting Godzilla to have that kind of impact on people this year as well, but hopefully it'll gross more here in North America, since it's an established franchise.
