Godzilla-To Many Monsters for one Screen

I see your point, but hey, it won't be as boring as the 1998 film

If that movie didn't have the tiny godzillas running around I wouldn't have a problem with that movie. That is another fear of mine that personal character development will be forced on us by people running away from godzilla when in reallity they are all dead if they are anywhere near the city. Sorry off topic.

Why would it be too much? Two monsters sound great to me (three is okay too, but im more inclined to believe for there to be only two). It gives Godzilla a chance to show of his powers, and the fans have wanted to see a really good looking, well designed CGI Godzilla thrash some other monsters.

Also, i dont think you can really compare this to Pacific Rim (Not saying PR is bad, i love it), because of how different the story is. I have a feeling that there will be alot more Aaron and company than Godzilla and the MUTOs (MUTOs? MUTI? MUTWOS?).

in my honest opinion no three is not too many destroy all monsters one of our all time favorites had 11 monsters total, final wars which some people dont like i personally do even though it is a bit cheesy but it had i think around 11-14 in it so i look foward to seeing these mutos fit in with the big g :)

happy 60th godzilla.

I agree with the story will follow the cast more then Godzilla. If there is going to be almost a dozen monster then that takes away from godzilla. i wouldn't want leabron james dunking on my elderly mother giving her a facial(basketball term). I want to see him go against Durant. If he's just slapping around some punk Mutos then whats cool about that. he needs a challenge.

Too many monsters would be at 11 or more. The reason I say this is because this is the first movie and it needs to show Godzilla and his power, not every freakin monster there will be in the series!

I agree that the movie will follow the cast more than Godzilla itself.

but almost a dozen monsters is too manyit takes away from Godzilla I don't want to see the LeBron James dunk over my elderly mother giving her a nice dunk face I want to see him go up against a Durant.if you just slapping around monsters that's no fun for anybody he needs a challenge

I'm with Dr strange love, I think one formittable monster is way better than two ankle biters, if Lebron James gave my mom a facial (basketball term) I would certainly be unimpressed!

Really, based on all the clues we have so far, it seems most likely to me that there will be only two monsters other than Godzilla in the film: the "Mutos" (counting all of the eight-legged and winged Mutos as one, since they seem to be almost the same and will most likely act entirely together, meaning that they share most of their screentime) and the mysterious "ancient foe" that forces him to flee out of the ocean. This really wouldn't probably be very cluttered, since there would only be two monster-based subplots: the Mutos emerging from underground in the Nevada desert and wreaking havoc, and Godzilla emerging from the ocean (probably at San Francisco) and progressing further inland as he is chased by the third monster. I'm guessing that these subplots would converge with the military using flares to lead Godzilla to the Mutos (I doubt think we will ever see the military attack Godzilla, since, given certain events in the backstory, they'll already know there's no way they can harm him) and of course, wherever Godzilla goes, the other monster will follow.

I honestly think that this would be much better than having just the eight-legged and winged Mutos, mainly because I don't see how the inevitable climactic monster battle could be very much more exciting than the other fight scenes preceding it if it was just another fight between Godzilla and the Mutos, unless he only fights them once in the whole movie, which would probably be even more dissapointing.

Its going to be too much.

Trust me, my Doctorate is in cinema

And pediatrics.

I think storyline and human characters involved also play a very strong / crucial role in the direction of a movie, and how it plays out to audiences, which eventually determines the movie's box office success. 

As much as there are people out there who hope to see less people-interaction in the movie and more of monsters just plainly fighting each other with no strong plot or human character development, such movies will only enjoy moderate success because audiences who watch the show formulate their impressions and it gets spread through word of mouth or through social media quickly and the impact can be damaging to ticket sales. We have certainly seen movies that are hyped up and opened with a strong debut in the first weekend at cinemas only to see their ticket sales dive down quickly by the next. - Because of poor reviews from the first wave of audiences. 

When producing movies such as Godzilla, its threading a fine line between pandering to the expectations of diehard Godzilla fans and the wider general audience. We look at Godzilla Final Wars as an example, where the movie had tonnes of monsters with poor character development, which clearly was a treat solely to fans, but it was shunned by general audiences, which rendered the movie a flop. 

Pertaining to Godzilla and his adversaries, seeing as this is the first movie of a hopeful series, I think Godzilla dominating smaller creatures is a good move. It's important to establish Godzilla as the dominant creature before pitting him against a monster that would be a challenge-- which this movie isn't about anyway. It's about re-establishing an icon to a new generation with a backdrop of strong characters.

Assuming there's a sequel, pitting Godzilla against a creature that is a more worthy adversary gives ups the stakes in a natural way. Such a decision is better saved for the future.

in age where every movie needs to be edgy and cutting edge I would like to see some flight where the main characters don't all survive. I'm tired of all the stereotypical little girl And And always end up alive with some amazing luck.  I need to see some true death and despair even if Godzilla turns out good which because of the other monsters I think it is a safe bet.

So your a pediatrican and your interested in seeing children casualties? I like your style Dr. Strange Love you think outside the box. You are a patriot and a scholar, As for little muto attackers, Im a fan of the idea they can drain Godzillas Radiation as he fights a formidable adversary. What do you think Doc?

Since this is an intro movie I can see the fear that to many monsters could destroy the movies plot, and have a spiderman 3 type deal, but having 3 monsters, 2 of which seem very similar and can have a backstory done together, is fine 

nothing can sum up my fear more than Spiderman 3

I don't like the fact that they might be able to suck out the radiation ,Godzilla is alreadyradiated he should be the same size regardless of any Radiation loss.

thank you Anthony you can see my work on the blooper reel To Catch a Predator unfortunately the police did not get into the room in time to stop me.

Ah, the stature of limitations making America more holsome every day. I salute you doctor.

Trust me, judging by everything we've heard thus far, there will probably be too little monster in the film.

I find nothing wrong with Pacific rim's high action concept, I wasn't bored at all watching it. I have a feeling I'm going to be a little bored during this movie though, not digging the whole constant "HUMAN DRIVEN DRAMA" crap that is being shoved down our throats.

For me I found the lack of proper story in Pacific Rim its biggest downfall...so I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to....but as for Godzilla, since it'll be sticking with the original there's really gonna be some drama,but to see Godzilla and other monsters in action for a time like this will be epic either way..

Not to be mean Dr. Strange Love, but I am extremely dubious about your "doctorate" in cinema given your comments and poor use of spelling and grammar. Forgive me for being skeptical, but your style of writing doesn't inspire confidence in your claim.

Besides, I fail to see how this movie could contain too much with only three confirmed monsters. Godzilla fights one, walks away. He fights another one, walks away. Movie over. How is that too much? Now there will likely be more monsters than that, at least I hope. But still, how is this too much?

But by your logic, these Godzilla movies were all 'too much.' And to be honest, I completely disagree on multiple counts save for a select few.

King Kong vs. Godzilla (And I am counting the octopus)

Godzilla vs. Mothra

Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster

Godzilla vs. Monster Zero

Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster

Son of Godzilla

Destroy All Monsters

Godzilla's Revenge

Godzilla vs. Gigan

Godzilla vs. Megalon

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

Terror of Mechagodzilla

Godzilla & Mothra, the Battle for Earth

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II

Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus

GMK

Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S

Godzilla Final Wars

Would you agree with this list then Dr. Strange Love? All of these Godzilla movies had three or more monsters in it, and by your presented logic as a "doctorate of cinema," they are all 'too much' for one screen.

Dr Strange Love got his degree from the school of hard knocks. plus all the older godzilla movies are different kind of movies than what this movie is going for. Gareth Edwards has said his biggest inspiration from the original 1954.. How many monsters were in that ? When ever I have an itch i go get a prescription from Doc. Strange Love

who are you to question my doctorate I have spent years studying the greats like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielbergand the Wayans brothers. 

It people like this is why to this day Rob Schneider does not have an Oscar.

and of course you count the octopus  in King Kong vs Godzilla

And my grammer is fine you butwhole
