How Godzilla 2 can compete with Jurassic World 2!

@Koldwarkid62:

I believe, to the point of certainty, that Thomas Tull needs to have a sitdown with Gareth Edwards, and basically tell him to ramp it up this time around. 

As Admiral Stenz said to Dr. Serizawa, "The cat's out of the bag, Doctor. No more secrets." 

This film is going to feature several giant monsters. Make it the shock-filled, thrill ride that it should be. Not just more monsters. But, make them fierce and intimidating. When I see Godzilla 2, God willing, I want to be made to lean back in my seat, trying to get out of the way. I want to see POV's that aren't possible in real life. I plan to leave behind the day-to-day reality of things when I pay my money (or have my e-mailed ticket scanned) at the door. The audience should be kept off balance. I don't think the point here is to make something they can feel comfortable with. A film that is cathartic, to a degree, anyway, can be just as rewarding (and worthy of several viewings). Link Godzilla more to his atomic origins and tie it to Monarch. They're a multi-national entity, so no one country will be made to look bad, if that was a concern.

^Agreed. Everyone's pretty much hit the nail on the head. It has to be better and they have to convince eveyone that it's better.

And then hope for the best!

The biggest thing this film is going to do is drawing back its lost audience. The first trailer will have to be stunning, jaw-dropping, spine tingling good. The opening will have to draw you in make you interested in the environment and the characters.

They will have to make an outstanding film, something to remember.

Yep.

This is it, Legendary. Like this.^ I would not advise resting on the We're-Not-Roland-Emmerich-laurels, either. And, the trailers should reflect how the film actually is. I hope a buzz results from the film's trailers and opening, causing the hesitant to want to see it. Then it'll have legs.

That you 'get' Godzilla is obvious. But can you bring the terror and awe to the screen? And the atmosphere that pervades the story, the narrative and the dialouge in such a way that even when he's not on screen, he dominates the film? A great feature, indeed, characteristic, of the great Godzilla films, like Gojira (1954), is the anticipation of his return, the feeling and dread that he is near and the inevitability of his return.

GMAN2887 - I would just like to mention that it is your opinion that Jurassic World is "dumb", please don't state it as a fact, I'm not trying to be nasty or anything but it is just your opinion and i respect that but I do not respect it being presented as a fact as many of us believe otherwise, thank you :)

Evan,
Of course it's an opinion, but there's nothing stopping me from firmly believing it is a fact, thus stated as such. It's a dumb movie. I love it, but there's plenty of reasons why it's riotously stupid. There's nothing wrong with liking dumb fun movies. It doesn't mean they're bad, just self aware; from King Kong vs. Godzilla to The Avengers, many of us like movies just like it.
