Is it wise for Legendary to release all these clips even though the movie's a month away?

I'm with you, it's possible to get too much.  It starts to worry me, and takes a lot of mystery out of it.

Yes exactly. Gareth promised us the movie will be emotionaly demanding, yet the recently released 'Extended clip' showed us too much of the scene between Bryan and his wife. Sure it was short, but it's no going to be the same

Holy crap how did this happen???

Well I feel the extended clip showed way too much and ruined as scene as I said in a thread I made earlier, but besides that 30 seconds or so I don't think there's been any overkill. I just wish they had used that 30 seconds up on something else rather than ruin the precursors to an emotionally invested scene.

Seeing as I'm lagging behind the rest of the community here, and the fact I've been lagging behind as a G-Fan for the last few years (I've kinda caught up, still need to see KongvBigG).

Anyway, back on topic (got side tracked), no I believe they have not shown us too much. Why? Because all we've seen is the death, really. Not the fallout afterward. Not the emotion tearing through the hearts of the characters.

Showing that would be too much.

Showing what they have is like a piece of bread. We still need to find the full loaf.

True, but I'm just a bit worried. Whilst it may not be the whole thing the basic idea is still in our heads.

if i can recall, i remeber that nearly everyone on this site was bitching at legendary for not showing much, you got what you came for now your saying that they have shown too much despite the fact that 95% of the extended look was footage we have already seen.

I think the fact that this strategy has literally no resemblance to the Pacific Rim strategy shows there are worse ways this movie could be marketed-- and Legendary's not doing the whole, "Lambast everyone two weeks before the movie!" method. It's a slow trickle of hype and information as the weeks go by and the date gets closer.

I don't think they're showing too much and having a large stock of TV trailers to show during the NCAA Basketball championships is probably the wisest thing they've done yet.

It's hilarious how the mentality of fans has gone from "They're not advertising the movie! It's going to fail!" to "They're showing too much." Just goes to show fans really had no reason to be so negative all those months back and don't know how marketing works.

I actually joined in January so please forgive me that I was not there to witness the communitie's tantrums.

Honestly, they really haven't shown that much.  Most of the trailers that have been released have the same footage on each of them except for a few differences here and there.  And most of the things that they have "shown" were very brief and you would have to dissect it to notice the details (which is done on this website).  To the common viewer of the trailers and commercials, you see nearly nothing given away.  In fact, I would wager that the majority of people that have seen the commercials and trailers haven't even seen the MUTO, let alone knows it exists.

@Like A Bossk -  No offence but I laughed when I read this excerpt, I quote below:

" And most of the things that they have "shown" were very brief and you would have to dissect it to notice the details (which is done on this website).  To the common viewer of the trailers and commercials, you see nearly nothing given away.  In fact, I would wager that the majority of people that have seen the commercials and trailers haven't even seen the MUTO, let alone knows it exists."

May I ask, are the people in this website (you, me and everyone else included) the only ones capable of pausing a video or make a screen-grab so we could weed out more details of Godzilla? Are you sure? Aren't these trailers being played out to everyone the very same ones too which we extract info from? LMAO.

Please do not speak as if dissecting details from a short trailer like Godzilla's is akin to performing a complex procedure that requires lots of skills and surgical precision that only people like you can master or decipher. Heck, tonnes of people out there have been scrutinizing details from movie trailers using the same method ever since God knows when.

The so-called 'majority of people' you speak of are not as dumb as you think of them to be. The only ones who dun bother to scrutinize the trailer are those who either dun intend to watch the movie or they just haven't been interested enough to do so. Buh.

I believe it is a wise move.

The more hype the generate close to release, the more fresh it will be in the minds of the audiences regardless of whether they're new or die hard like many of us.

I have stopped watching them because I don't want to ruin the movie. The same thing happened with Prometheus and watching too many ads/promos etc was fun at the time but doing that really ruined the movie plot for me, so I am not making the same mistake twice. 

Yeah let me tell ya, it sure is a dumb idea to barely advertise a movie for like a year or two before its released THEN a month before it comes out actually advertise it.

If anything, its more dumb that they waited this long to show this much. 

We don't live in the ancient age of dont know squat about a movie before it comes out' just the fact that people are on this forum means they wanna KNOW about the movie. There is nothing wrong with understanding a product before you buy it. Films are products, you pay to see them. I wanna know what I'm getting into.

People are such slaves to consumerism that their corperate masters pretty much have programmed everyone to think that any little bit of info about something is a 'spoiler' or a 'leak'.

If you don't want to spoil the movie for yourself, don't watch the trailers featuring new footage. Plain and simple.

I'm kinda mad about Legendary & Warner Bros. showing the Janjira facilaty and the Tsunami scene. But it's overgrown me. but TOO MUCH FOOTAGE!!

I don't think they've showed too much in the new trailer, and I did expect the wife to die since the main trailer was released. But we haven't seen the best moments and don't know anything else pretty much :D

@sicopath , it's not that they've showen too much (even tho they technically have) it's more I wanted to see it in the theater, not a trailer. Same with that airport/tsunami scene!
