in age where every movie needs to be edgy and cutting edge I would like to see some flight where the main characters don't all survive. I'm tired of all the stereotypical little girl And And always end up alive with some amazing luck. I need to see some true death and despair even if Godzilla turns out good which because of the other monsters I think it is a safe bet.
Pertaining to Godzilla and his adversaries, seeing as this is the first movie of a hopeful series, I think Godzilla dominating smaller creatures is a good move. It's important to establish Godzilla as the dominant creature before pitting him against a monster that would be a challenge-- which this movie isn't about anyway. It's about re-establishing an icon to a new generation with a backdrop of strong characters.
Assuming there's a sequel, pitting Godzilla against a creature that is a more worthy adversary gives ups the stakes in a natural way. Such a decision is better saved for the future.
Someone more cant see it? If is that the case, here write your e-mail and I can send you, and later I´ll fix the prroblem of the image here
it's the most anticipated movie of 2014 so the chances of a sequel are high but I don't see them going beyond a trilogy and I'm certain Toho won't be making any new films until the American franchise comes to an end. They're in direct partnership and will be making a good penny out of this so I wouldn't be surprised if its another decade before an actual Japanese Godzilla film.
I did this draw for a tournament on a Godzilla spanish fans group, just some weeks ago, Now, I´m doing one more.
I think storyline and human characters involved also play a very strong / crucial role in the direction of a movie, and how it plays out to audiences, which eventually determines the movie's box office success.
As much as there are people out there who hope to see less people-interaction in the movie and more of monsters just plainly fighting each other with no strong plot or human character development, such movies will only enjoy moderate success because audiences who watch the show formulate their impressions and it gets spread through word of mouth or through social media quickly and the impact can be damaging to ticket sales. We have certainly seen movies that are hyped up and opened with a strong debut in the first weekend at cinemas only to see their ticket sales dive down quickly by the next. - Because of poor reviews from the first wave of audiences.
When producing movies such as Godzilla, its threading a fine line between pandering to the expectations of diehard Godzilla fans and the wider general audience. We look at Godzilla Final Wars as an example, where the movie had tonnes of monsters with poor character development, which clearly was a treat solely to fans, but it was shunned by general audiences, which rendered the movie a flop.
Sigh. I don't think what they are doing is exactly iilegal, particularly if they said their films were parodies, it'd be completely legal. The term they coin is 'mockbuster'. Most of the times they get sued, the company suing them loses because the story of said mockbuster is different enough that it doesn't count as infringement.
Problem is, the movies are just bad and they are meant to appeal to a certain brand of low-brow film renters. People who don't know better. Its like how parents will buy the cheaper console for their kids for christmas, or buy nasty palmer chocolate bunnies instead of the good Russel Stover stuff during Easter. Its all a money game. They cash in on it. Its not evil, its not plagerism, is just annoying capitalism at its best.
Can you say they are evil for wanting to make money off something that is popular? Specially since there are people out there who are going and picking up the new godzilla figures and selling them for three times their price on ebay?
Its just how this great western civilization works...
I for one can't wait to see the stupid, horribly done piece of dog crap they produce so I can laugh at it and the people who are duped into renting it.
Beauty, Just the buildings can be betters.
Yes, a good music tribute for the king.
destroy all monsters melee
Its going to be too much.
Trust me, my Doctorate is in cinema
And pediatrics.
I DID THIS ARTWORK FEW DAYS BEFORE THE NEW TRAILER COMES OUT.
godzilla is da bomb!
He looks great! :D I can't wait to get my hands on him!
Godzilla is the only one that can stop the Mutos. After he destroys them, he'll go back to his normal rampage on humanity as always. :)
I like the muto. :) Very nice.
Really, based on all the clues we have so far, it seems most likely to me that there will be only two monsters other than Godzilla in the film: the "Mutos" (counting all of the eight-legged and winged Mutos as one, since they seem to be almost the same and will most likely act entirely together, meaning that they share most of their screentime) and the mysterious "ancient foe" that forces him to flee out of the ocean. This really wouldn't probably be very cluttered, since there would only be two monster-based subplots: the Mutos emerging from underground in the Nevada desert and wreaking havoc, and Godzilla emerging from the ocean (probably at San Francisco) and progressing further inland as he is chased by the third monster. I'm guessing that these subplots would converge with the military using flares to lead Godzilla to the Mutos (I doubt think we will ever see the military attack Godzilla, since, given certain events in the backstory, they'll already know there's no way they can harm him) and of course, wherever Godzilla goes, the other monster will follow.
I honestly think that this would be much better than having just the eight-legged and winged Mutos, mainly because I don't see how the inevitable climactic monster battle could be very much more exciting than the other fight scenes preceding it if it was just another fight between Godzilla and the Mutos, unless he only fights them once in the whole movie, which would probably be even more dissapointing.
Very funny teven.... very funny.....
Cute Godzilla costumes. :D
Errrrrrmmmmm.................................
I'm with Dr strange love, I think one formittable monster is way better than two ankle biters, if Lebron James gave my mom a facial (basketball term) I would certainly be unimpressed!
I love everything about his face and head in this one. This is probably my favorite depiction of Godzilla 2014 yet, possibly even my very favorite of all Godzilla forms. The proportions and mood are so perfect. I hope it looks this good in the movie (although realistic, obviously ^__^).
If this movie is good... then definitely one sequel, but probably not as high of a budget.
The whole toy feels incomplete without the sound effects :(
They could have at least removed the speaker holes and the battery pack. It makes me very angry! >:(
Speaker vents and a battery compartment but no speaker? Interesting. He could be right and it was taken out for cost purposes. Maybe they tested the toy on some youngins and the new Godzilla roar was too scary for them?
If the Asylum were to film a Godzilla rip off they would call it something like "Atomic Alligator" or some hilarious title like that.
If they make a Godzilla rip off then they better use rubber suits and miniature effects, it would really be a huge step from the crappy CGI they always use, Hell! Low budget practical effects would look even better and WAY more REALISTIC than the CGI they always use.
LOL, I love the Asylum, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to say that I support rip offs or the act of copying others' ideas, that's nasty by itself, but you've got to admit that these guys are hilarious xD
Monster, Transmorphers, H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds... Oh man! The nostalgia! :')
So long as they keep turning a healthy profit, they'll keep making movies.
That being said, there are some doubts that even this movie will make money, so we MIGHT just be looking at one :-(
As time goes by however, Godzilla looks increasingly likely to hold it's own at the box office. I had more fears in the past than I do now, so I do think this first movie will make a profit.
After this first movie makes money, they'll make a second, and with some confidence, and some profits, they'll have a pre-built audience, they'll be able to properly market a sequel, and give it a better release date, so that one will have better chances of making money than the original if it gets made.
A third movie is where I see it ending. They'll probably have done something silly to jump the shark at this point, and audiences will have some "Godzilla fatigue". Not us G-Fans, but G-Fans alone won't warrant a sequel.
Long story short, from Legendary, I EITHER see them making this one movie, or I see them making a trilogy. And that's it.
Now TOHO on the other hand, I could see them making 4/5 more movies, riding Legendary's popularity if this first one does well. They've given Godzilla a healthy break, and Japan provides a consistenly loyal audience for Godzilla. So if Legendary knocks it out of the park, I could see TOHO actually making more movies than Legendary for a longer period of time before giving it a rest.
But yeah.....some of that might happen. Maybe none of it will. It really 100% depends on how much money each film makes, which is impossible to predict.
Be silly and try out Muto Gabara and Muto Jet Jaguar!!!
No one can tell yet, not until the profits are counted for this film
I'm hoping a lot!
AWSOME cant wait to get my hands on that
I am from Mexico, and here back at 2011 was demostrated that Toho is pretty adamant with the rights over all Godzilla stuff. There was a music band called La Morocha (Brunette) which created a musical video with pretty low budget and sfx for fun, and such video included a take of an Imperial Godzilla moving through a city poster where Godzilla´s roar and the begining of G intro theme from King Kong vs Godzilla are heard. THe take was silly because the hand moving the figure was not hidden; but even with this they received a legal warning from Toho stating that they will proceed legally unless the band stop to promote the video to the public. THe vid still can be seen in youtube here:

A note about the case can be found here:
There were more notes back then, incluiding the copy of the letter of TOho, but I cannot find that material on the web today.
