Godzilla's Size Debate Ended

I only posted the 779' ESTIMATE because I saw something in the OFFICIAL TRAILER that rattled my own opinion of the American Godzilla size.

At first, I was like you that our Godzilla would be around 400-500' tall but had nothing official to even suggest Godzilla is this big. I also had heard that Edwards wanted big but not too big. Considering how many skyscrapers are in San Fracisco, where it has loads of 400s-600s foot tall buildings, figuring out what height is big enough to be seen YET not so tall that Godzilla can't hide is tough.

Say Godzilla was 780' tall when standing upright, it would be JUST taller than the 600+ foot tall buildings we have in San Francisco. In today's world, our major cities has such huge buildings that Godzilla at 328' tall (100 meters) would completely disappear in (depending on where in the city).

Now I freely admit my size ESTIMATION of 780' is off. This was using the building the viewer was falling towards staring out at Godzilla. I was hoping for something to be right next to the American Godzilla to identify and use its size to determine Godzilla's size. However the ending scene (where Godzilla's claw goes above a building before turning to roar) doesn't help. The building was destroyed for one thing so I can even begin to speculate its original shape or size. That's why the 555 Street Building is our first REAL HINT to the size of the American Godzilla. I NEVER said this was the official size, just a SIZE ESTIMATION!

I've always thought that 237 meters (779 feet) is just way too much, and yeah, it's outrageous just to think Godzilla would be that size.

Now I realize that was just speculation (after all we are still making estimations) but let's imagine if Godzilla's height was that, now imagine if that Godzilla were to fight King Ghidorah... How tall would that King Ghidorah have to be in order to keep his usual size advantage?! That guy would be like over 300 meters tall!!! It would dwarf enourmous kaiju such as Biollante, Legion and Slattern so much that it would be simply ridiculous.

Kaijus of that size (+230 meters) wouldn't even be able to walk in the streets, they just try to walk and basically become giant bulldozers bringing down the whole block of buildings in their way with them. Personally I agree on the 110-140 meters estimation. But, Who knows?

@LYUTAVEN: As I said, this was my recent estimation based on the official trailer at that paratrooper scene.

San Francisco is in an earthquake region, so I'd assume the buildings would withstand (to a degree) severe earthquake shaking. This could make them survive longer when Godzilla walks around.

I will freely drop this size as soon as I get a better scene (or leaked image) to give a clue to the overall size of Godzilla.

@TRUE AMERICAN GODZILLA

Well just to clarify (because I didn't stated it anywhere on my last post), and now that I read the post where you estimate Godzilla's size, I'm not discarding entirely the possibility that a Godzilla of such size could be the one we will see in the final film. If that's the case then I think Gareth exagerated a little trying to create the biggest Godzilla ever seen, I personally wouldn't like it that much, but I have to admit that it would definitely be an impressive and jaw-dropping vision nevertheless. At the end all that matters is that it's still Godzilla.

I know i've said it before but now I'm convinced...since this movie is going back to the feel of the original then i can completely see Godzilla being 400' tall. After all that's how tall we made him in the American dub.

considering that marvel comics godzilla was 150 meters, the new godzilla will have to be somewhere above that. the biggest that i see him being is 20% taller at 185 meters. he would be bigger than many buildings but still able to hide.

Godzilla is supposed to have a certain height between 120-180 ft not 779 that's too huge. That will make other monsters look puny like biollante. 

Im glad to share with you my "monster size comparison" with very accurate data from movie webpages and wiki

Godzilla is going to be 200 meters tall. So there. Prove me wrong.

when you watch the trailer's ending scene and the foreground buildings, you can gauge a size reference off his longest spine fin which i estimate at 6 floors high or around 18 metres ( almost 20 yards ) if ALFOK's post as a guide using our new measurement, we arrive at an estimated ball park figure of 145-150 mtrs.  awesome !

@ALFOK, I think Slattern might be too big in that size comparison picture. 181 meters puts him at over twice the height of Gipsy Danger. In the movie, he is not nearly that tall. I think that 181 meters might be his length instead of height. Not trying to be mean or anything, I just thought he looked a little exaggerated next to poor little Otachi haha.

a creature with the ability to grow to that size should in all likelihood have the ability to adapt to being that size so all this rigmarole about the creature's exploding from the pressure with its own body is invalid.

MATTZILLA115 Said: "This movie is for us the fans, the AMERICAN fans..."

Yeah guys! This movie is made for AMERICANS! You know, that is, Canadians, Brazilians, Argentinians, Chileans, Jamaicans, Barbadians, Mexicans... Oh wait!

Anyways, I thought we were discussing Godzilla's size... alright, hmmm... yeah.

why is godzilla not the king of japan

I don't get how they came up with 779'.

Gareth says "just a bit bigger"

them: "just a bit bigger= doubling Godzilla's current largest size".

Yeah, that's not much bigger at all.

@GODZILLA3580 In "Pacific Rim: Man, Machines, and Monsters" book, its official, it says "HEIGHT" instead of "LENGHT" take a look 

As i said, I searched for very accurate info. I know in motion picture their sizes may change but Im based in official info stats for every monster

Kyero, you shouldn't tell people they are wrong in thinking that Godzilla will be the same height as the 555 Building in San Francisco. All we have to go on right now is the official trailer. And judging by the trailer, he is as tall as that building. And IT IS that building because it has a distinct roof shape. And of course they won't show Godzilla in the first wide shot of the San Fran skyline because they wanted to save the Godzilla reveal for the first-person view from the paratroopers goggles. As far as the only proof we have to go on, you are wrong until proven otherwise. No matter what Gareth Edwards said in the interview.

I heard that Godzilla 2014is supost to be 645 ft. : whitch is 200 m.

Well, now we all know Godzilla's size is the same as Cloverfield... Im NOT dissapointed, 106 m height is a MASSIVE SIZE, bigger than the average Kaiju in PR
