You all are welcome to start topics in the forum to decode and analyse every scene of the trailer, but this topic will primarily be used for the "initial reaction" you experienced after watching the trailer, for the first time (in HD).
You can find a vast selection of screenshots from the trailer in our Godzilla Trailer Screenshots Gallery here.
After seeing the trailer, I can happily say I was beyond satisfied. The tone, the score, the Godzilla! Everything about this trailer rocks!
Predator: Badlands - coming November 7th, 2025
After doing some research trying to figure out how big this Godzilla will be, I have come up with a number that is shocking. When the paratrooper is looking at Godzilla you can see the top of what I believe is the Bank of America building on 555 California Street. That building is 778 feet tall(237 m). The largest japanese godzilla was 100 meters. This new one is more than double that size!
Makes sense now when guillermo del toro said there was only one monument that the godzilla team asked about GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
My reaction: Impressed at the budget, but I was (even though I expected it) disappointed that they still choose CGI for the creature effects. Japan went more than 50 years making Godzilla movies with suits, all the way up until 2004 and it looked fantastic. However when the US get hold of it they have to use CG and we ended up getting that monstrosity of a 'remake' in 1998. Seriously I think that Hollywood should maybe reconsider the visual effects side when it comes to making movies. Plus we haven't even got a good look at the beast yet, who knows it could look absolutely terrible. This is just my opinion though and I will support it all the way.
I thought the trailer looked stunning & felt very creepy! The soundtrack reminded me of Gerry Goldsmith's atmospheric Alien score.
As for the King of Monsters himself.......WOW, I'm impressed!

It looks awesome. Now I have to wait 156 days to the movie. I agree @JETJAG I watched it over and over again.

Did anyone else see the scene where MUTO employees open a vault that should have held a monster, but instead there was a hole dug in the ceiling by the escaped monster? I'm pretty sure that the people who are running away in the scene after the paratroopers segment are running from the escaped MUTO-made monster. Bryan is running the opposite way, towards the monster. When the door closes, I think the terrified woman is sealed in quarantine with the escaped monster.
That's just my interpretation, though. If that's true, this will be a dark movie, much like a kaiju film should be. Even if it isn't as good as the trailer lets on (it's a great trailer), let's be honest, the movie is gonna kick some major ass. I can't wait!
We finally got our trailer and the movie is only 156 days away... what do we do in the mean time???? BUY THE UPCOMING MERCHANDISE!!!!! >:DD

Anyone else notice the strange claw/mouth that's ripping apart the train. I wonder if that is the MUTO creature. Brilliant trailer. Can't wait to see this!
Finally, the website works. I absolutely LOVED the trailer. I love that it started with a long and intense shot. It's actually a long take for a trailer opening, but the risk comes with reward as that silluoute is the perfect introduction to the size and power of this Godzilla. Character reaction shots were rather redundant but 'amazed' and 'terrified' can only be done so many ways and surely is more prominent than any other reaction. Devestation looks intense,
and
oh yes
SKREEONK! The roar is superb.
I then watched the trailer to Ikifube's score. Gave me goosebumps. The King of the Monsters has returned.
Well its college finals week for me, but as a die hard Godzilla fan, I ended up going to my class an hour and 40 minutes late because I couldn't stop watching that awe inspiring, and "inner giddy child" provoking trailer that manifested from the magical mind of Gareth. Thank you for bringing back my favorite childhood icon, and for shitting on that 1998 giant raptor movie that was a huge embarrassment, with the trailer alone.
Just seen this if its already been posted I apologize. Note the subtle changes and some not so subtle.
TOTALLY AMAZING I must admit i got teary when i saw this on the net i gotta say two things My personal favorite part was seeing Ken Watanabe finally all we hear is Brian Cranston this Aaron taylor that seeing good ole Ken up there was nice
this all leads me to...
1 King kong is shitting his pants right now
2 Feels like Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) falls in love with Juilet Binoche's Charector and Brian Craston will be Ogata from the original Godzilla movie the 1954
Hey everyone! When that comic con trailer was leaked a few months ago, I was able to download it before Warner Bros could take it down, just so I could keep watching it. When the official trailer was released yesterday, I absolutely loved it. The trailer in itself has nothing wrong with it but I still thought it would be cool to combine the leaked trailer with the official one. There are elements to both trailers that I really like. I played around with a bunch of different combinations in my editing program and I really like what I created. Let me know what you guys think! Did I accidently ruin both trailers? Or did the trailer work? Comment!
I bet this is Japan's reaction to the new godzilla trailer
then of course you got some of the people that hate the trailer, so this is for them:
I for one am digging the trailer BUT I think prefer the comic con leak trailer than this one but that's just me
