Gareth Edwards promises and I quote " You will tear up in this film".

I have no dought that it will be emotoinal because just by watching the trailer you can tell it will be a griping experiance on people

The only thing that will make a true godzilla fan cry is if godzilla dies.

Maybe that means he will die?

The only way that Godzilla can die is if his heart is melting down. Otherwise, the army is not supposed to kill Godzilla, unless the Mutos do something about it.

Well to normal viewers, seeing destruction and death amongst the city that godzilla will destroy, they will see that as a sad thing. To godzilla fans, thats just the way godzilla movies go. So they'll only cry if he dies, but I might be wrong.

We have to remember this storyline is a lot deeper than what we're used to, but if he dies, I will cry.

I feel like there's already one scene we're goina end up tearing up at and that will be near the beginning when whatever happens to Bryan Cranston's wife happens. So probably at various parts. Also during the scenes of destruction there were some heartbreaking moments involving families and children during the original Gojira so considering this new film is trying to match that tone I can see it happening. 

i don't think he'll die but godzilla will show empathy.

Are you all THAT stubborn? You'll only cry if Godzilla dies? The depth of the story Edwards provides will be what makes us cry. He didn't say us GODZILLA fans would be tearing up, instead that the general populace will, as well as us. It's a gripping human driven film. That's what he meant. That the family being torn apart would be what makes us cry. Can't wait. And i hate stubborn conservative Godzilla fans. He was killed by one man in the original. "He can't die by the military" hop off it.

Well said GBETTA35. In a way the movie would be like the book Cell. It's not so much about Godzilla but about the people around him and their emotions towards him. Gareth must be very passionate about the movie to take this step, and now I applaud him for that!

i agree with gtbetta35, if you love that emotional godzilla death, watch destoroyah or go back to 98 godzilla, this is real human characters here. That's what im expecting, tahts what he set out to be. Yeah i understand you all have different opinions on what sad is, but you are missing the point that he is saying the emotional parts are from the HUMANS, and thats what it set out to be. Dont say it SUCKED because there was no sad emotional 98 death from the monsters.

junkerde is right, this movie is about the humans and godzilla's effect on the human race, the emotional scenes are going to be from the humans, i better not hear from fans that 'oh this movie will suck becuase it has a lot of humans and not enough godzilla'. the 1954 gojira movie had a lot more human scenes compared to the rest of the showa series and they were good scenes 

I feel like crying now.....with just the mention of Godzilla dying and everyone on this forum fighting.......my heart aches......lol.

I have to agree with GBetta35 and Junkerde, Edwards isn't talking about Godzilla possibly dying, he's talking about the characters. While Godzilla is important, Edwards has said over and over again he wanted a very strong human element that audiences will feel connected to.

I have a feeling he's talking about certain character deaths that could affect us quite emotionally if we have a strong connection to the main characters.

And for the record, I didn't cry when Godzilla died in vs. Destroyah, I don't think another time would be any more affective.

i also agree with gbetta35 and junkerde it is going to be a rough experience for the human characters and most likly the viewers of this film who watch it and are not godzilla fans like the rest of us are.

I do recall Gareth saying that he was particularly proud with the way Bryan Cranston's scene came out (the one where his wife is trapped). That could be one of them.

godzilla has given us times to cry in the 90's era.  i wouldn't be suprised.  makes for a better movie at times.
