I had to check the prices on that t-shirt. Not because I like it, but because it looks expensive as hell.

45 bucks.

That's a helluva' lot for a T-shirt.

That said, you can get this

or this

Is that a catfish with legs?

That movie was epic.

And creepy as shit.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/G1pX97_0rxU?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Possibly the best trailer yet.

**** yes it is. Wow.

So, so, so, so, so, so stoked.

You aint ****ing kidding. This is looking to be awesome.

I didn't know Kick Ass was in this one. Shit.

I feel like Bart Scott, baby. CAN'T WAIT.

Ya know for keeping it under wraps for a while I feel like I've seen a lot of clips and scenes.

Then again I still don't feel like they've given away the story- specifics, I mean, we all know the general plot line.

This looks promising. Coupled with such a strong cast and I have renewed desire that it's worthy of an imax 3d viewing.

Yes for sure!!

Did anyone see Gareth Edwards first flick "Monsters" ?

I really liked it. it was pretty basic, but he stayed focused in character. Mainly due to the low budget though.....

Its available on Netflix.

Rodan looks bad ass.

"Let them Fight!"

:facepalm:

When is it in theaters? I know it's already been posted, but didn't look for it.

May 15th.

Started watching it last night.

Oh hell yeah.

Some early reaction from someone who's seen it. Apparently, they hold back the big Godzilla reveal until nearly the end.









Are you expecting the reboot of Godzilla to feature an endless array of monster-on-monster fight scenes, where two nigh-invincible creatures slug each other with computer-generated punches until one of them finally goes down for the count? If so, you’d better wait for the fourth Transformers film, because Godzilla is so not that movie. In fact, though the press saw Godzilla for the first time today in Los Angeles, they didn’t actually see much of the titular monster, who remains an elusive presence in his very own film. Director Gareth Edwards wouldn’t have had it any other way.
“[If] you throw everything you can at the screen, you’ve got nowhere else to go,” said Edwards after the screening, when Vulture asked him about his bold approach to the film, which holds back the first reveal of Godzilla — and the first full-fledged fight — for as long as possible. His goal, said Edwards, was “not to frustrate the audience, but to tease them. It’s kind of like cinematic foreplay.”

How will that go over in a multiplex more accustomed to orgiastic spectacle than foreplay? We’d love to tell you how it played today, but we’re under embargo; what we are allowed to tell you is how Edwards carefully calibrated his approach to the central creature, who is mostly seen in glimpses until the very end. “What we were trying to do when we designed the movie was to incrementally build and build,” said Edwards. “So hopefully, you get the big climax at the end and it has the maximum power possible — and then it’s the end credits.”

This reboot, then, is the sort of exercise in anticipation that recalls movies like Jaws, Alien, and Jurassic Park, and Edwards said it was the latter film in particular — which, like Godzilla, holds back the big Tyrannosaurus Rex reveal until an hour has passed — that served as his primary touchstone in several ways. “Jurassic Park has thirty visual effects shots in it, and it’s one of the classics,” he noted, explaining his judicious approach to CGI. (There’s plenty of effects work in the film, but it’s used mostly to convey the massive aftermath of those discreetly glimpsed monster battles, which wreck several cities.) Edwards said he tried to resist the temptation “to get seduced by the spectacle of it too much, because in my opinion, you can end up reaching a plateau” of CGI fatigue.
Let Godzilla's incredibly effective marketing campaign serve as your barometer, then: Those terrific trailers are mostly made of mood, serving some striking city visuals and terrified reaction shots with just a sliver of Godzilla himself, and the feature-length film pretty much sticks to that recipe, too. You won't have to wait much longer to see how it all comes together: Godzilla is out May 16.

Doesn't tell me much. Screen time and building up to the reveal is old hat for entertainment and presentation. If the story is compelling and the actors good (which this cast is) the movie can still be a winner.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes comes to mind- almost all back story yet wonderfully done.

A few extended clips.

Extended clip from trailer with Cranston. The little I've seen of him has been impressive.

Nice gif.

Someone needs to put a Poe jersey on this one...

Love how Godzilla rolls up like "Nah, bitch. Wrong neighborhood."

Couple more...

I imagine Godzilla saying some like this;

That clip seems to portray big G as a "protector" to some degree like he was in the cheesy 70's flicks.

Not a slam, just a comment on his motivation/intelligence...

I didn't care for the music.

reviews are gonna start creeping out here in the next day or two. I guess it had its big premiere over in France today. Jeffrey Wells even dug it and hes one of the snobbiest critics around.

Those 70's flicks were so cheesy, they were cool.

We don't get to see nearly enough of that in this day and age.

In the 70's and 80's there were actually enjoyable B movies.

Now they're mostly unwatchable crap, even in the MST3000 or Best Of The Worst sense...

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014...st-look-review

Thanks, I enjoyed this review. I like the fact that he seems kind of ambivalent about the ending, but still happy/satisfied. I'm in the same boat, having enjoyed the original as well as the "savior of humanity" versions of Godzilla.

Quint's review from AICN (about the only reviewer left there that I respect): http://www.aintitcool.com/node/67271

I thought this part was particularly interesting:

I've convinced my wonderful fiancée to see this one with me. Pretty stoked.

Yeah, this looks awesome.

Well, if you want an endorsement, thats probably the best you can get.

I heard its good but takes sometime for Godzilla. Mixed reviews are out there but I'm thinking most will like

So far with 25 reviews it is at 84% on the tomatometer.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/godzilla_2014/

Could have seen it free tonight, but didn't feel like driving an hour...

I think its sort of an interesting test for modern audiences. We have all sort of become conditioned to expect non stop destruction and amazing special effects from start to finish.

For instance, If this were "Michael Bays Godzilla" there would be an action scene every 10 minutes.

Do we (myself including) still enjoy the slow reveal and teasing anymore? Like the older movies that didnt have the modern special effects.

If you have to drive an hour, two hours total coming back, that is not seeing it 'free' in my book...

Exactly my logic. Told my friend it would be cheaper to go to a matinee on Friday.

Exactly...I don't think it will be like Pacific Rim the whole time. 84% w/ 29 reviews ...I think it will be good

Pacific Rim I actually thought the entire middle section didn't have much action. But it wasn't a slow reveal either. They basically had a big action scene up front with a full reveal.


I'm curious to see how an audience responds to a slow reveal. Will people accept that.....thinking that this movie will be a full on 2 hour monster bash?

If I remember correctly, the old movies kind of did slow reveals at first as well.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/A-KYpxQs_TA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yea, alot of that was budget and special effects limitations of the time. Like Jaws for instance.

But sometimes limitations enhance creativity too.

I tried watching one of the newer movies on Crackle and I couldn't handle it. It was like watching power rangers.

Yes. Yes please. Yes, for the love of God. Michael Bay's absurdly overthetop endlessaction untileverythingonscreen
morphsintoonegiantneverendingbattlegetsverytiresometowatchandiwouldappreciatejustalittleplotandactin gthankyouverymuch.

Michael Bay is the Vince McMahon of movie making. In this corner, GIANT****INGROBOTS!!! (crowd goes wild). In THIS corner, different GIANT****INGROBOTS!!! (crowd boos and hisses). NOW FIGHT!!!!

That's great if you're 12 and under I suppose, but seriously, enough of that.

I really like the idea of the slow reveal. It makes it that much more epic, important, suspenseful, exciting, etc. when it finally happens.

89% w/37 reviews on rt

My biggest issue from the trailers is the shape of his his snout. If that's the worst that comes out of this for me, I'll be very happy. And, since I'm a big fan of old movies, the slow reveal isn't going to be a problem for me. I've already started re-watching the whole series (I'm not watching Emmerich's atrocity, though. **** that).

Also, as someone who grew up with creature double feature on the weekends, I'm really hoping this is more Gojira and less Pacific Rim. From the early reviews, that seems to be the case. This may just have to be an Imax experience.

Snout definitely looks different- more of a jaw structure of a pitbull it looks like to me?

Yes , but enough about the strip club, what do you think of "Godzilla"?

I don't know exactly, but it seems off. Maybe it's because it's more angular?

The big guy also looks like he's been hitting the Bon Bons.

Been filling up on the billions, and billions of Japanese.

85% on RT with 65 reviews

B+ rating from the A.V. Club.

God I am so damn jacked up to see this movie...and so damn pissed that I have to wait until Sunday to see it. :cuss::cuss::cuss:

Fukushima Daiichi, yo.

It looks like his neck is fatter and his snout longer.

He looks like a cross between some type of lizard and a bear.

Here's a great article about the changes the Godzilla suits have gone through during the Toho years.

The neck and the snout is the biggest difference in this iteration of the big guy.

Got my tickets

Thought it was ok, not as good as i expected. I didn't like the ending.

Those pictures are hilarious. One of my favorites. LMAO
