The official Godzilla Trailer Reaction Thread - Post your initial thoughts here!

Finally!

Well worth the wait! I now have no doubt that Gareth Edwards has made a serious, high-quality movie about the most famous monster of all time. This trailer is fantastic, from the eerie ambient music ("2001") to the great camera shots of the Halo-jumping soldiers. The smoky, dust-cloud atmosphere is perfect; gives it a surreal atmosphere that is totally appropriate for the tone of this movie. From the beginning, I was excited by Edward's decision to do this film in a dark, realistic way: what would people do and react like if such an impossible thing actually happened? I've waited forever to see a movie that took this approach, and put realistic human drama into it, and just by what I've seen in the trailer, it seems that he's done just that 8)...

Seems to be multiple threads on here and elsewhere pointing to a similarity between this enemy monster and Desotroyah.. interesting because while Desotroyah was an intruiging enemy, it was one of the most dissapointing Godzilla battles in all the films... despite the fact it should have been one of the greatest. Maybe Gareth Edwards sees this film as a chance to correct that. 

I have been watching Godzilla movies since I saw the original as a kid in the 60's and I have the complete set of all the Godzilla movies ever made except the one Hollywood trashed in 1998. I hope they bring back the old with the new and make it a Great Movie! The trailer looks great! 

Honestly, this movie looks REALLY scarey

If you watch the soldiers, as they dive through the clouds, the lightening creates 

a silohuette of the Godzilla eye from the 70's classics.  It's in the dead center, and was nothing but a brilliant touch.  

As they fall through the clouds, watch for the final flash.  It's bitchen.

Yeah, I geeked out again and again and again, and pause, and rewind and all that that we are allowed to do, and the trailer is just awesome!

It's at the 48 second mark.
