half life 3 confirmed

sorry i beat you again bigbadben

there are many factors that will make this movie a success

1. mystery of the plot in the trailers (mostly no spoilers)

2. a completly new story in other wrods the fact that this is not a remake

3. good and well known actors as teh main cast, all of them look like they will do a fantastic job

4. godzilla looks like a bad ass

5. the audience now knows that this godzilla is almost indestructable

6. it looks like a godzilla

7. ITS GODZILLA

8. there is more than 1 Monster

9. it looks terrifying

10. it is being promoted by nearly every form of media, from IGN-MTV, from New York Times-The Metro (UK newspaper)

@Valkorin I agree with you about the clawed muto. I've watched that part of the trailer over and over again - frame by frame. My conclusion is that the scene takes palce on a building rooftop and what you see in the near background is only part of its body (which I originally thought was being dragged along the ground). If this is correct, then the clawed muto would be as big ad Godzilla.

I could however be completely wrong on this. I guess we will have to wait until the movie comes out.

also there have been so much postives comments and reviews on this trailer, even by those who disliked the teaser trailer or weren't convinced that this movie will be good. and yeah since everyone like jaws and this movie uses a jaws technique with godzilla making him both awesome and more terrifying then this movie will surprise and be loved by audiences, any fear i had with this movie was crushed by this trailer, also this trailer had virtually no spoilers and kept secrecy and mystery with the movie, unlike pacific rim and spiderman which gave and has given 90% of the plot of the movie away, pacific rim just gave 100% of the begining and middle of the movie, spiderman gave the premise of the movie and even showed Electro's origin... on the 2nd trailer, that is a stupid move.

thats the thing godzillafan1995 we really dont know if gareth and his team are setting this to todays date so to speak maybe the time frame in the movie might be awhole lot different.

It is intereseting that they included the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla in the comparison. Here in Guatemala, believe it or not, this Godzilla is more famous than Zilla!!! :o()

damn it godzillafan1995 you beat me again i was also going to say that there are alot of people who like bryan cranston's acting and for good reason hes just that damn good. i dont think that people will dislike this movie i have a few people here in my hometown that are not fans of this franchise that have said they want to see this not because of bryan cranston being in it but they simply said this "looks bad ass."

Bryan Cranston was in the Total Recall remake...and the less said about about that the better, but you make some valid points GodzillaFan1995. I get a 'Jaws' feeling from this Godzilla reboot...we'll get glimpses of the main man, all the while building up the tension to an all-out kaiju brawl between all the monsters of some sort.

i have a feeling that this movie is et 15 years in the future and the the '15 years ago' thing maybe the Fukishima Nuclear Meltdown, also if this movie does take place present time i heard that there was a nulcear plant accident in 1999

I'll try to put my two cents in as to how this all COULD work (please bear in mind I'm no chemist or biologist or physicist):

Godzilla's mutated body is the result of several centuries or even millenia of mutation post-death of the original creature from naturally occurring radiation, each increasing the creature's lifespan, durability, size, and array of exotic abilities, all incrementally and at the absolute genetic level, thus allowing him to shrug off the likes of nukes, remain physically stable even at his great sizes, and produce such powerful exotic abilities.

Additionally, this makes him functionally immortal, being almost completely self-sustaining due to nuclear organ systems save for an occasional top-off after periods of hibernation. His newly mutated telomeres never shorten, thus meaning his body won't break down like a normal organic being.

Add to all this that this nulcear cell biology can repair impossibly huge amounts of damage, on top of his bodyily composition being extremely dense and strong bellying that of any naturally evolved organic being to withstand his great sizes and proportions, and you have the makings of a "living god".

it really is making me wonder because gareth has said that if he gets to do another film with godzilla it will be like a "DESTROY ALL MONSTERS" like enviroment.

idk laddy but you might be on to something 

well considering that the main trailer showed that this movie has a good cast, you can't say that the modern audience will dislike it for that, infact it would be bad to have less human drama, the only people who have complained about the human drama are godzilla fans, the general audience will not care if there is more humans, they are the ones who make the story not godzilla or the monster, the monsters are just the plot device, surely the trailer must have brought faith in the human drama and come on, Bryan Cranston is a major character in this, that was what got the general audincese attention in the first place.

Chris showed me a version where they got the directors name wrong. *facepalm*

nope mothra and her fairies the shobijin are not in this film. case closed

I doubt they would be in the movie. Like people have said, its most likely an easter egg. It's pretty coincidental that they wear the same color outfit as the twins and the broken side of the building close up looks like Mothra's wing colors tho. 

thanks for sharing and i will be the first to apoligize for saying godzilla was bigger than 350 feet, another magazine just confirmed it as well, meaning total film magazine and this new empire magazine just give more facts. i now know that it was because of this CGI effects they are doing that make him look bigger.

you know they might protray him like what akagi said an ancient dinosaur that lived during the precambrian era. which also if you believe in god and you read the bible it does say in one of the books i forget which book, verse, and chapter it is from but it does talk about the leviathan, not saying that is what godzilla will be refered too but it does make me wonder.

Ha, that is too funny! I thought that was godd editing to show Walter White's head inside of the Jaegar pilot suit. That was pretty good!

He's obviously an iguana guys!

Emmerich joke haha

@G-MAN

the cast wasn't terrible. I thought they were pretty damn good.

Good laugh

Welcome to the forum.

You bring up a topic very near and dear to my heart. The possibility of Godzilla returning to a tokusatsu style, or as you put it, suitmation and miniatures, depends on how well that genre/style does in Japan.

If the Legendary Godzilla movie does well at the box office, Hollywood will probably just pump out another sequel. Toho likes the fact that another studio is doing all the heavy lifting and they're reaping a profit off of it. Why would they spend money on their own movie when another studio is doing it for them?

If the new movie flops at the box office, Toho will probably assume that Godzilla needs to be retired and I wouldn't expect another film for the next 20 years or more. Either way, Toho probably won't be producing their own Godzilla movies for a long, long time.

Now if suitmation/tokusatsu becomes popular in Japan again, I can see Toho wanting to cash in on that. Right now the only movies/television series made in that style is Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai (Power Rangers). Kamen Rider and Super Sentai are doing well, but Ultraman is practically on life support. If that style of filmmaking becomes big again, there's a good chance Toho will use the same techniques to bring Godzilla back.

But as it stands tokusatsu and suitmation is a dying breed of visual craftsmenship in Japan. I don't think it's going to make a comeback any time soon. That's includes Toho's suitmation Godzilla.

@MIKEYNAMEZ

thank you so much man. I saw it in the magazine and decided I NEED THAT

I found of of it on ebay's inside the issue thing but it was super tiny and was blurry no matter how much I sharpen it

^Seeing as Rialto has nothing to do with Legendary or Warner Brothers, I don't think it has anything to do with marketing the new movie. In fact it sounds like they're just cashing in on the hype of the new movie to celebrate the 60th Anniversary.

This is fantastic non-the-less. I saw it on the big screen 10 years ago. I can't wait to see it again. I wonder if they'll use the Criterion restoration.

Even Toho acknowledges it on an official level. But I find it amusing that they typically don't mention it in official channels if they don't have to.

I personally don't count it as part of the series. When I list Godzilla movies, take inventory of them or line them up in some sort of list I typically omit GINO. It has and always will be GINO for me.

The issue isn't what they took away from this creature to be Godzilla, the problem is that Roland Emmerich believed that simply blowing up a giant scaley animal and having him stomp through a city equals Godzilla. But that doesn't make much sense. By that logic the Rhedosaurus from The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and the Ymir from 20 Million Miles to Earth are also Godzilla. They're clearly not.

Maybe the monster would have been accepted had it been anything that remotely resembled Godzilla's past history. He's been a walking metaphor for atomaphobia. He's been a social issue for women to stand up against. He's worked as the antithesis of pollution. He's been a villain, a super hero and an anti-hero. He's stood up to mean all of these things with a looming nuclear answer that could drop at any time. Not one of those things came through in GINO.

In GINO he was just a scared animal. He didn't fight back. He didn't destroy a city based on psedo-mythical vengance. He didn't protect it either. There was no sense of dread or horror. There was no sense of urgency either. This isn't creative license. This is just a lack of creativity.

Supplement that with a boring cast (Jean Reno was the only interesting character in the film) and a complete lack of fun surrounding the possibilities of the creature and you've commited another sin which is arguably the worst one a Godzilla movie could commit: It was no fun.

There's no likable characters, there's no sense of real danger. It's all played off like a joke-- which would be fine if the audience were in on it and enjoying it just as much as Emmerich.

See, Emmerich, like a lot of people here I'm learning, didn't get it. The Godzilla series was unique and endured because it did stick out. Because there were no limits to its imagination. And despite how absurd they got, there was always a sense of urgency and care amongst the characters whom grappled with these creatures like it was the apocolypse. He had a long list of facets that could've been Godzilla and chose to ignore all of them to create one of the most bland, uninteresting giant creatures in cinema history. That's the movie's greatest accomplishment: It takes real talent (or none) to make a giant monster boring-- Godzilla or not.

Also i'm just saying the haters a growing like wild fire on this movie so just warning ya.

There have been haters in almost every film. The more haters there are.....the farther the movie's goodnes goes down. They did it with man of steel, and pacific rim. No wonder why pacific rim didn't make it to the number 1# movie of 2013. Stupid hunger games had too many people liking it. And just for the your information people I HATE THE HUNGER GAMES. And I have some really good excuses for that but there is abut 24 diffren excuses why. Anyways I have just had enough with giving haters second chances. The choose the wrong monster movie at the wrong time  >:D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5gdbUC9mWU Here's the trailer I was talking about. I think the dialogue and music would match nicely. After I watched it again, the line "You think you are safe...you are not..." really rang true as well.

Regarding Godzilla's size, I really only have one thing to say, and I'm sure you'll all agree:

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

As of this moment, Main trailer 61,283 'Likes' and 1,481 'Dislikes'

Teaser Trailer has 61,279 'Likes' and 2,266 'Dislikes'

And the Main Trailer is still almost 4 million views behind the teaser. 

So not only will the main trailer likely become more well viewed....but it has also been much more well received :-)

Fine by me

Well, they might consider just keeping his origins a bit of a secret. Which is cool by me. Just like Jordan Swickard said: it's just a movie, not concerned with too many facts. That's the reason we see movies too escape reality.

Good work! I enjoyed it!

That would be pretty cool actually xD
They already used him to explain the nuclear tests in the pacific

if u can find a link to it on youtube or something then maybe ill give it a show,howler 

Well my request stands, keep it clean.

Yes, it should be counted. Zilla appeared in final wars, thus making it canon. Also I like to think of zilla as a different kaiju opposed to gojira, because it doesn't capture the main look of godzilla. Maybe I am a bit nostalgic toward the movie, because I grew up watching it. All in all it's an entertaining popcorn movie. The original japanese movies however rule(for now).

I disagree DURP004
