Hey! I have been keeping myself in the dark on this film up until today. Godzilla was a staple of my childhood, and there are many running jokes in our family about it. I have been trying to keep my expectations at the bottom of the barrel, but this trailer has forced me to raise them... hopefully not too high.

Betting that is a wing hook.

That's what I thought. A pterodactyl or bat type wing...

Definitely keep those expectations low. Better to have them exceeded than crushed... Let's face it, "modern" versions of those old Japanese monster movies centuries have really failed to live up to even the low expectations we've set for them.

Things I love about the upcoming movie after watching, and re-watching, the latest trailer;
1) Looks like they are tying this movie to Godzilla’s origin story from the very first Godzilla movie 2) The tone of the movie appears to be very somber and serious. Godzilla’s first movie had that same tone but after 50 years of camp it’s hard to remember that fact. Dear God am I hyped to see this movie.

Not sure how this could possibly end up being a good movie.

This movie can be good if the acting is not over the top, and they let the message of the film speak for itself rather than ramming it down the audience's throat. Something else that may not bother some, but I hate revelations that come via exposition. Obviously some things should be revealed through dialogue, but I do not want this to be something like M. Night would do where the entire back story of the monsters are spoon fed to the audience via the mouth of some government official or scientist that could not possibly know everything he knows. Let us fill in the blanks dammit!

I don't know why you think that. Everything so far indicates this isn't just going to be a Roland Emmerich disaster movie.
