OMG Just take my money already.  Legendary, WB, Toho, Gareth just go ahead and I'll buy several advanced tickets to the Big G's debut.  I'll see it at the first midnight screening and I'll go with at least several friends over the theatrical run.  My wallet will be aching but seeing this extended trailer makes it feel less of the pain.

Awesome.  Just simply Awesome.

 I think godzilla did not destroy the nuclear powerplant,here's why:

screenshot number four show the graph he is looking at and if you look at screenshot number seventeen the graph in the background that says muto one and muto two the graphs are identical.

Hardly an odd question at all. As I've grown older I've actually paid more attention to the characters and end up caring about them more than the monsters in some cases. Most of the 50s and 60s movies I tend to care about the characters the most.

Godzilla (1954) - The whole damn cast. The love triangle. Ogata's typically run-of-the-mill job thrown into a conflict with Godzilla. Serizawa's enternal struggle. Dr. Yamane's charisma. The first movie is really more about the cast than it is Godzilla.

Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster - Detective Shindo is one determined guy. His informal struggle with Malness and his stubborn attempt to defend Princess Salano at all costs-- not to mention Salano is one of the more interesting characters, being a decendant of the Venusians. Even while the battle between Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah is going on both Shindo and Malness are still at each other's throats for the Princess.

Monster Zero - Probably my favorite cast of characters. Glenn is a badass and I love his bromance with Fuji. Namikawa is an overrated female character, but iconic in her own right. And Tetsuo is the most underrated hero of the story. Maybe the most underrated hero of the series. Need I mention the awesome Xillien leader?

Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster - A fugitive who has been coaxed into sailing with a bunch of kids and finds an island girl to face the odds of a secret, terrorist organization? How is this not interesting? You almost don't need Godzilla.

Godzilla's Revenge - Sorry guys. Ichiro is still one of the best developed characters of the series. Like it or hate it.

Godizlla vs. MechaGodzilla - The characters actually aren't that well developed, but damn they're fun to watch. Nanbara's mysterious character and eventual reveal as an Interpol Agent is the most entertaining.

Terror of MechaGodzilla - Amen to these. Ichinose goes through quite the tragic journey. He works so hard to follow up and legitimize Dr. Mafune who has long since been lost to madness. And then he falls in love with Mafune's daughter in a telescoped love story that ends in tragedy. Katsura's enslavment is beautifully mirrored by Titanosaurus's. This was a great cast to end the series with.

Godzilla vs. Biollante - Actually this movie suffers from having too many characters, but I think Shiragami is one of the more interesting characters in the series. He's not mad, just desperate and he admits to the pitfall he sinks into. The rest of the characters work well in tantum, but aren't as interesting as the Showa lot.

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah - As flawed as this movie is, props to Shindo and Teresawa-- two very different characters in a fairly different Godzilla movie. I admire Teresawa's character for being the series' most motivated reporter. Even as he's let down by the future sales of his book he realizes he may have gotten Godzilla's origin wrong and fact-checks himself. And Shindo shares a mirroring history with Godzilla that leads to one of the series' most powerful interactions between man and monster. The rest are pretty much fluff...

Godzilla 2000 - As inconsistant as they are the characters move the story along at a better pace than Godzilla himself. Shindo isn't the most interesting character on his own, but couple his backstory with Katagiri and there's an fun David vs. Goliath juxtaposition.

GMK - I love the feel of everyone here. It's like they're written as 1980s horror characters from a John Carpenter movie. Most of them serve to be scared fodder, but it works in contrast with General Tachibana's stanch, old-fashion nature. His relationship with his daughter, Yuri, rings as something much more relatable than most characters in the series. And her development as a human who respects her father's era is a worthy cultural study of Japan's current struggles with its past.

The Kiryu Saga - Like a friend somewhere else said, I kind of like the idea of the characters more than the characters themselves here. But they keep the story moving along enough to give a damn about them. Akani is a little too hamfisted with her anime-esque loneliness and internal struggles, but then Mazaki Tezuka isn't the strongest director either.

Godzilla: Final Wars - As much of a mess as this movie is you can't tell me Mazaki, Captain Gordon and the Xillien Leader don't nearly steal the show. They're all absolutely trite, but they're fun trite.

Tastes change over time. I've found myself enjoying the characters over the monsters in some of these movies. Like Monster Zero. The reason that's one of my favorites is particularly because of the cast.

i saw the movie op, theres actually 4 godzillas in this movie, they get nuked however and turn into the mutos through obviouslt mutation, the last godzilla has a special agent in its blood that doesnt make it morph like the other godzillas, and the 'mutos' aka godzillas attack this one because theyre jealous he didnt transform

not sure if op is serious or just an absolute moron

Thank you , GMAN! :D

Excellent post. Thanks for the information. Keep updating us with further infomation. Featured.

dudes, i dont know about you guys, but i offically jizzed in my pants. 1st off, this is by far the best trailer/ tv spot yet. i was hoping you guys got the screen shot of the muto face at about 2m16s in, which you did, great job. there also appears to be only 2 mutos. theres a scene that shows the officer from the halo jump scene peering over his shoulder and you can see on the panel hes looking, muto1 and muto 2. (17th pic from the top) this is becoming very interesting. in the suquel i would love for him to kick the shit out of cloverfeild and then finally gamera, and then he gets his revenge on king kong. but as for this movie, it has all the workings of a master peice because of how well they are keeping us in suspence, they are showing us bassically the same scenes over and over with a little bit of extra spice and i believe thats y i think they arent blowing their load too fast, the story sounds great, the acting from BC is incredibley compelling. and ill kill 2 birds with one stone. BC opened the 1st trailer with the, your hiding something dialogue, in the last trailer, the dialogue is seperate and he says, and i have a right to know after instead. thats what i mean by same scenes, but more so BC made you feel the frustration and anger, brilliantly done. i can not wait!

Me.

You two up there ^^ are related haha jk but hey nice answer thats what i thought too

Godzilla's got a 6 peck haha

Generally, yeah I agree people shouldn't judge effects shots shown a long time prior to release. But Gareth Edwards himself about 2 weeks ago said that he was done editing the film. So yeah, these are most likely final looks that we are seeing in the TV Spots and this most recent trailer. 

Nobody (in this thread anyway) is trying to say that Godzilla and Pacific Rim are similar films. Just talking about effects only. And effects wise, I think the only way to call Godzilla's 'top notch' is if you're looking at this thing with rose-colored glasses. 

That doesn't mean we are judging the film harshly or have a negative attitude about it. I think we're all still stoked for the film. The story, tone, and cast all look fantastic. 

Finally, the OP specifically ASKED us for our opinions about the effects. So telling people to shut up if they aren't giving 100% gushy compliment laden endorsements is a little ridiculous. 

well there are some sparks that happen as well so it could be some sort of breath attack

That's really good!

When's the final drawing gonna be posted?

i seriously doubt it was a nuclear warhead going off. If it did, there would be nothing left of those soldiers and about half that mountain would be toast.

It does sound great.

Amazing. So well drawn.

Thanks!!! :D Also Godzilla Himself nice name! XD

i just thought of something Godzilla could Kill the 8 legged Muto and then it is Godzilla VS Flying Muto and that how we get a no Sequel

Wow, well done, man! :D  I REALLY like the sketch version at the top!  Very well drawn! :)

So no screenshots can someone tell me how to see it on the Godzilla website because i'am on my mom's widows 8 computer an the link  is not working on this computer

Godzilla 2014 Himself, nice name :D

Actually the website's design has been like this for about 3 days already or more, I think the roar was just never there yet until now.

You guys who say the chi sucks can shut up. The movie haven't come out yet, and you already judge the movie. People who compare godzilla to Pacific rim can stop to. Pacific rim was completely different then godzilla. Pacific rim was more like a comic book style with neon lights and colorful fights. Godzilla is dark and brutal compared to flashy and colorfull. In my opinion godzilla blows Pacific rim out of the water with graphics and chi because of how realistic godzilla looks and the destuction. Pacific rim is not even close to how godzilla portrays destuction and chaos! Not even close! The monsters in Pacific rim look like bad in my opinion

Did anyone else see the new synopsis?!?!?!?!

"From visionary new director Gareth Edwards ("Monsters") comes a powerful story of human courage and reoncilliation in the face of titanic forces of nature, when the aweinspiring Godzilla rises to restore balance as humanity stands defensless."

Pretty sweet! :D

It's pretty good. I've seen better and worse.

These are cool! They're almost as cool as NECA's Pacific Rim figures!

i cant see it can someone put like a screernshot

Its not an odd question at all!  I may be alone on this, but I love the human characters in the films!  I never have a hard time caring for them, and I enjoy thier stories almost as much as the monster mayhem in many cases... almost! :)

It will be hard to choose, but obveously all the human characters in the original Gojira are high on my list!  The love triangle between Serizawa, Emiko, and Ogata as a powerful backdrop to the horror of a monster rising to exact revenge on mankind.  Seeing Emiko torn between keeping her promise to Serizawa or revealing his secret to save the world, and and the pressure on the tortured Serizawa to either keep his invention secret to prevent another arms race, or to use his device to save the world, but risk unleashing another superweapon upon the world, is not just an incredible part of the film and the series, its downright profound.  It is this human drama that, along with Godzilla himself, make this film a true classic for all times.

I love the characters in Mothra vs Godzilla as well!  The relationship between Ichiro and Junko is endearing, and Torahata and Kumayama are two of the series' best villians.  Fuji and Glan are two of my personal favorite characters, and you definitely care for them as they fight to save the earth!  The castaways from Godzilla vs The Sea Monster, including a wonderfully derranged Akira Takarada playing against type, are fun to watch as well!  The human drama in Son of Godzilla is pretty suspenseful too, and Akira Kubo's Goro Maki is a fun character to watch! 

And really, who doesn't love Katsura and Ichinose from Terror of Mechagodzilla? :) They (the actors, I mean) will beat G-FEST this year, if anyone out there wants to meet them!

The Heise era had a lot of great characters, but only a few stand out as characters I really cared for, like Dr. Siragami, Shindo from Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, and Miki Saegusa, of course!  The Millennuim series was pretty short on the character development, but its hard to detach completely from the human drama while watching the films.  One thing is for sure, though... this film is going to redefine character development and drama in a Godzilla film.  I always empathize more with the monsters, as I'm sure most of you do, but the character's in thie new movie will be just as important as Godzilla himslef!

I personally think it's fun to speculate that the MUTO are using their EMP or some other type of pulse to create the sinkholes, and unburrow themselves....obviously preferring to unburrow close to nuclear or radioactive locations. 

And the pulses are what the seismographs are picking up, not the animal or tunneling movement. 

I dunno, I personally think them saying 'the seismic activity matches animal activity' is just kinda silly, because there are almost no animals that create seismic activity.....so nobody would have any real idea of 'animalistic' seismic readings would look like. I'm sure they could find some workaround for that problem to justify the dialogue, but it would still be pretty cheesy. 

I prefer the readings to be suspicious, but mysterious in origin, rather than clarified as animalistic early in the film. Which is exactly the route they seem to be taking to me :-)

Right now, it's Joe Brody.

The characters in the other Godzilla films are okay, but I never really cared about them (I honestly care more about Godzilla's well-being than the human characters'). I'm not dissing the original films, it's just I don't relate to the characters enough to really feel for them.
