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.
edit, duplicate post.
Yeah, that shot of the Muto's head in the jungle was revealed in one of the TV spots before this extended footage was released.
If you haven't already, I would definitely check those TV spots out. Almost each one (there are like 6/7 of them) contains at least some small bit of unique footage that the other spots/trailers do not have.....including some shots of Godzilla's foot that match what was described at the San Diego Comic-Con :-)
I really hope that SDCC footage gets released to the public at some point. Even if it's just part of the special features section on the DVD.
Alright, so it looks like we'ver at least got 2 muto's confirmed from this last trailer!!!
My guess is the centipede-esque morphs into the flying one.
As much as we've seen from the trailers a timeline/sequence can be established and I'm lovin' it!
Thats a good question! They are being delightfully (a.k.a. infuriatingly) vague about the details of this movie and this sequence, despite the Janjira Incident being the thing we know most about in the film so far. I think the instruments in the facility pick up a signature that doesnt match an earthquake, but is consistant with an living organism. Maybe Joe is the only one who sees it! Maybe he sees someting else... a claw or tail perhaps? We don't really know if it is Godzilla or a Muto that causes the destruction of the plant, but it seems that something causes a subteranian malfunction and/or a structural crisis. Unless Godzilla is a burrower, my money is on a smaller Muto causing the incident, as it could go about its business in a more covert manner. If it were Godzilla, chances are he would have been spotted. Remember, the 8 legged "Hokmuto" has been described as much smaller than Godzilla. Maybe Joe saw a portion of the creature's body, but chances are he is tipped off by a bizzare signature on an instrument of some sort. Being that the plant is in Japan, chances are they would have earthquake sensing equipment on hand, as earthquakes are common in Japan and a bad one could compromise the facility.
In the interviews that were done around the time the 20 minute footage tour was being done, they reveal that he knew it wasn't an earthquake because the seismic readings didn't match what an earthquake or natural disaster would look like.
Something about how the tremors came in at consistent, repeated intervals, rather than more random and jagged.
He doesn't necessarily know it was an animal or a creature. He just knows that something is up and he isn't being given the truth.
Wow! It looks great! :D
that would be cool but i dont think they will
he knew it wasent naturel because A FRIGGN GODZILLA CAM OUT OF THE RUBBLE!!! XD sorry but i agrea with @Godzilla 2014 himself that he saw something on the graph or a nucler power plant just dosent fall over
i dont think it was stupied but i dont think it is true
Ichiro Serizawa (seemingly the descendant of Daisuke Serizawa). He is badass and when he says :" the arrogance of man is thinking nature's under our control and not the other way round", it's true.
Ce n'était ni un tremblement de terre ni un typhon!
It wasn't an earthquake, it wasn't a typhoon!
I'm hoping that this Edwards film will finally put the GINO controversy to rest.
as a monster movie, i don't mind G98. It's big and dumb and entertaining and there are certainly worse kaiju films out there. As a Godzilla movie, I couldn't enjoy it for the same reason most fans couldn't: It didn't resemble Godzilla in appearance, behavior, or symbolism. Also, judging from interviews with Emerich and Devlin, they didn't appear to have much respect for the source material and i think it shows intheir final product.
These are valid reasons to dislike G98, but I wouldn't say anyone is a lesser fan by enjoying it or even considering it to be their favorite Godzilla movie. No one here has a monopoly on what Godzilla is or shouldbe. There are certainly enough interpetations of the character (like Batman) that I am free to pick out the ones I like and ignore those I don't. I'm just glad to share a fandom with people who are passionate about it, even if it means disagreements and the occasional hurt feelings.
He thinks that it was a creature because the graph wasn't moving like an earthquake, it was moving like a creature or something living. It wasn't an earthquake that caused the plant to fall it was something living.
DUPR004-You didn't specify what movie sequel must fall into your "criteria". The fact remains unchanged. Had one of those movie sequel fell at the box office, they would not have made another. Yes Star Trek and Star Wars, by your logic, Godzilla would have fitted there too, it was a pre-existing franchise with many sequels.
It is speculation to argue that Godzilla would not become a sequel anyway even if it was successful, which is what you seem to be arguing. So I don't really see how your point is stronger.
GMAN2887-Someone has to end it, or at least give a more definitive end to the endless "why GINO sucks" questions.
This may have been said already, but I haven't seen it... Anyway, there's another decently clear shot of the MUTO head. It comes immediately after the helicopter shot of the MUTO, around 2:21. The shot itself is an aircraft crashing into what seems to be a forest, but in the first few frames you'll spot the glowing red eye and will make out the rest of the head.
I wondered the same thing because the soldiers guns react to the mist when it hits them. However if we piece all the footage of that scene together I think it's more likely to be a nucleur warhead going off in the tunnel. I've seen a shot of a train loaded with warheads and a shot of a burning train heading towards them so, yeah, that's how I've come to that conclusion. How the train reaches it's fireball state tho...that's another question altogether.
Obviously its a giant burp.
I think (or I hope rather) that most people realize that the cloud in the nuclear power plant is steam or some other gas related to the malfunction....NOT a biological gas emitted by the MUTO.
The gas I think the OP is talking about, is the gas that comes out of the tunnel and appears to damage the soldier's guns. I'm not sure what that is tbh.
It might be a cloud of dust/debris that is violently kicked out or displaced as something is destroyed/attack from inside the tunnel maybe?
One of the many mysteries still remaining for May 16th, in spite of all the footage we've been shown :-) Take that Spiderman-3!!! I feel like I've seen that movie already
I think the CG goes from passable to poor. Some of the city destruction scenes look pretty bad, but then again, I didn't expect the greatest qualiity CG from the film.
That sounds really negative but its not.
So yeah I was a bit more impressed with PR's CG, but that is because the director knew he was making a bullshit movie and didn't try to hide behind realism for it.
Anytime you try to copy realism, its going to be harder to pull off a plausible CG.
Its passable at best and that is all I'm going to say about it. Doesn't mean I'm annoyed or disappointed or wont like the movie-- considering I'd sit through this film if it were claymation or suitmation.
I thought the CGI had definitely improved. The shot of the fin breaking through the train track has certainly been touched up.
^ I'm just guessing here, but I think the old cameras are going to be used in the flashback when they try nuking Godzilla.
I'm kind of surprised at how many people think it wasn't that good lol I don't think it's fair to compare it to PR because the whole selling point of that film was the visual effects. Godzilla on the other hand is focusing a lot more on story as well as spectacle. Even then though I thought most of the cgi moments were on par with PR, and some were better.
I just can't wait to see this movie in theater quality instead of 1080p, it's going to look awesome.
Allow me to explain something. The star Wars prequels were planned from the conception of the original trilogy. So the fact is there was always going to be 3 prequel movies, the decade they were released doesn't really matter. Hence why I said "not including the star Wars prequels" Then there's star trek. Yes it did get 4 movies, BUT that was largely due to the television show that it was based off. The movies didn't follow a plot based off eachother, as much as the show. It's basically like saying 'Oh well pokemon had 3 movies" when none of the movies really had any connection to eachother, and were more based on the show then as a seperate media. Then there's Matrix. Bravo 1 movie that spawned a trilogy that you named, there are a few more like scream jurassic park, ect, but point is it wasn't as common of a thing.
Even if you wanted to discount all the reasons I gave for why star Wars and star trek aren't comparable to godzilla that's still only 5 or so films that got past sequels. I'm going to go with what I said, that your argument that we didn't get a series is speculation banking on that fact Godzilla could have broken into this small niche for films that managed to get more than a sequel before finishing.
Allow me to turn this half baked argument back. Thank god for the 1998 movie as without it we would never have what seems to be a great movie that's coming out soon. See what I did there? Even though this movie may or may not still have been produced I'm jumping the gun and saying it wouldn't due to my own speculation.
This isn't a documentry. So what is scientifically wrong or not, it is a film, it is a science fiction film. If you ask me critics won't give a shit about that, they care about the movie itself not the small things just because they're not correct. All you guys seen was a wave crashing into Hawaii and Godzilla submerging with red flares. That's it. If you seen the scene around the end of the trailer where Godzilla is swimming towards a boat, his speed could cause the waves, you never know. His natural home is water.
WHAT ABOUT BOOMER???
Boomer, will, live
YAY
I don't think it's all that stupid of an idea. I mean the water is going above trees(granted palm trees which don't get too big, but still). Unless godzilla rushed out of the water, and judging by the rate he's going when they shoot the flares up I don't see him bringing that much water forward. However due to the fact the MUTO is in hawaii I don't think a tsunami would coincidentally show up and bring Godzilla to it, but I see your reasoning behind thinking it.
As much as I love these clips, I'm really starting to get bored of them.
@MrDinoboy2000, I agree with you. It does look like Kamacuras and Predator. Muto is one ugly mother f*cker! XD
You guys, the music sounds amazing right? This soundtrack seems very intense and promising.
