Looks great!
King Ghidorah forever.
I was blown away. But wow they revealed a LOT...
Been through the trailer a bunch now, and it's a glorious piece of advertising, but I have one complaint...take a stiff drink every time that MONARCH dude says "Titan" during the Senate meeting and you'll feel a little buzzed by the end of the trailer ;)
I'm so excited for this movie.
YEEEESSS! MY FIX!
Also, dear Godzilla, he's a FAST BOI!
While we haven't seen the film yet I must respectfully disagree from what we've seen so far. Gareth's Godzilla was well realized in how it tried to portray things from the "human level" and make the monsters move visually, but it was muddy, dark and I didn't feel like a lot of their action was very compelling, it was just big animals doing what you'd expect big animals to do.
I've rather like Dougherty's style and use of visual effects in the films I have seen from his library, and I think he has the potential to bring a really well crafted, artistic action piece to the big screen that will take full advantage of the visual spectacle these beasts can deliver. It's a fine balance between "real" and "compelling".
Looks awesome! There wasn't too much of the story spoiled thankfully, and I can't wait to begin speculating what monster was coming out of the ground!
From a VFX standpoint I don't think Mike quite has the eye and finesse that Gareth had in the first film to make it feel "real", but the action scenes do still look very exciting.
I even found an easter egg. When Godzilla and Ghidorah were confronting each other in Antartica, it was a nod to Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991) when the two monsters confronted each other before fighting.
And those legs coming out of the ground. Kumonga? Something new? Mothra looks beautiful. I love the blue mixed into her wings. I'm not sure from the trailer but it looks like Ghidorah might be a wing walker a little bit in regards to some of his movements. Either way, I'm excited. Long Live the King.
Oh no, there goes Tokyo!
Go Go Godzilla!
I think that just single-handedly made up for every disappointing element in the 2014 film. Awesome
Nothing will ever beat that first trailer for it's pure atmosphere and emotional punch to the gut, but this one was pure adrenaline. Long live the King
That was awesome!!!! The best look at the main four in action. And it looks like there will be more monsters! Was that Anguirus coming out of that mountain? Too much hype right now.
Oh no, they say he's got to go!
Go Go Godzilla!
It's out there!
Rodan, you're doing great sweetie
Don't put your work down, it looks great especially considering the medium being used here. The more fan art the better.
12 noon EST today.
Dangit, still nothing! I'm getting antsy, ants in the pants!
Thank you for the update.
Ghidorah looks simply terrifying. Lovin' it.
Great poster, shows the big G very well, I particular like the glowing dorsal plates, I guess he is ready to unleash his atomic breath. Although one minor critique is the lacking of the other monsters. But I am confident we'll see all the monsters in later posters. I'm assuming the character facing the big G is Eleven...I mean Millie Bobby Brown's character. Sorry man, Brown's character from the trailer comes off like just she is playing Eleven in Stranger Things. Not a dig at Brown.
"Hedorah is in fact a good movie and Destoroyah is not."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The marketing style on this one has been a treat, the colors are great and this poster especially is just.....hnnng, fantastic. The last campaign was very much golden browns and reds and greys, kind of grim and dull colors, I'd like to hope the stylistic decisions on the marketing here are continued reflections on better choices being made all around to liven things up and make the film more appealing to the viewer all the way around.
AMAZING... I love this poster holy God(zilla).
Brazil comic con was dated to get it today 12/9, tomorrow 12/10 for worldwide it seems to be, based on the common information given.

So the 2nd trailer is still not online? Grrrrrr...the anticipation is driving me nuts. These glimpses of the monsters are appetizer that made us hungry, now how about the full course trailer?
Well crafted CG is fine. Purposeful works too. But it still doesn't make it the end-all, be-all evolutionary leap. I'll accept that it's certainly a different way of bringing them to life, but evolutionary implies "superior" which is just not true, especially in terms of intent. Western audiences can perceive it as they wish, but the assumption that their visual philosophy is somehow another's superior by labeling it "evolutionary" is both arrogant and incorrect.
This. Thank you. You don't hear most of the fanbase griping about ALL the CGI used in Shin, it served its purpose to tell the story and embody the character.
I dunno, it certainly seems like a pretty well-accepted evolutionary branch as far as the vocal minority is concerned. Not everyone appreciates the fine art of tokusatsu in this day and age, but they can appreciate love put into the details.
I think Michael Dougherty has showcased just that with his direction for how to model the new batch of CGI Godzilla characters. Inspired by the old, but infused with new life that Japan just doesn't have the industry resources for. It's not the fact it's CGI, but rather that it's very well-crafted and purposeful CGI to add to the family.
YukisSpecial,
While I'm more than excited to see a new take on Godzilla, including in the effects department, I don't exactly see it as a "step up". Different? Yes. Western? Extremely. The methods in which Godzilla were brought to life were never meant to be seen as photo realistic--In fact the entire point was to do the opposite of what Hollywood was trying to accomplish even at the time. Instead of evoke realism, the techniques and methods were used to evoke reactionism via presentational art. Much like stage shows, or broadway shows, for example. Nothing looked real, but it was real and unique to that world.
Godzilla was literally "king" of those methods and "king" of those who followed suit: An entire style of Eastern special effects from other kaiju features, science fiction features, tokusatsu television, giant heroes and super sentai--Techniques still used today, even in Shin Godzilla.
In Hollywood, Godzilla is merely a pauper--A follower to the same 'ole thing we've seen for years. I agree it's interesting to see for a change and I hope it does make new fans. But honestly it feels more like a side-project in the franchise than a natural evolution--Something fun and worth exploring, but not quite the core essential of Godzilla.
I'm even more hyped now...
I recently just purchased the DVD of King Kong Vs. Godzilla and the Blu-Ray version of Godzilla (2014) on Target.com.
Growing up through the 90s and seeing the takeover of digital effects in movies it's pretty fascinating to now at last see this thing I've always been curious about, being what it would look like if the Toho all-stars were turned into fully realized CGI creations, and it's pretty satisfying.
One of the things that bothers me about the mindset of the kaiju fandom is its stubborn, sometimes spiteful sentiments toward modern special effects, as though it's an insult to translate the kaiju into anything other than suitmation. Suitmation was a wonderful method, necessitated by the times and money, and those films will always be the foundation of our fandom, but the reality is that methods change and the audience expects films to adapt to look as good as possible, and I for one am very excited to see some of my old favorites (especially my boy Rodan) rock the world in high budget digital. With respect to the classics, I hope this film will encourage some of the naysayers to see the benefits of a new translation to bring in yet more fans.
KaijuWorld, My hype level is over 9000!
Mothra sounds adorable. I can't wait for the full trailer
If you listen closely to the Ghidorah clip, something similar to Godzilla's musical cue from the first movie whenever he first showed up in a scene seems to play.
I think it'd be a GREAT idea if King Ghidorah was accompanied by it. It'd play up how he's an even bigger presence than Godzilla himself.
Saw these over the last couple days. Very cool. Can't wait to see more.
Hype level to 100,5!!
I am pretty sure that the roars featured in these clips are still some small parts of those roars. At least we kind of know what we can expect with the roars.
The Nintendo Gamecube game Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee. I used to play that game for hours. Always would go beastmode as Megalon.
Another new chapter. Sorry for the few month hiatus, had some technical difficulties and not as much time to write.
