Oh lord please please please don't let this one suck.

World War Z was actually good, it just had the misfortune of being called World War Z.

As for Godzilla I am mad sick pumped.

My only problem with WWZ (besides deviating so much from the book, but honestly, that was expected) was the weak ending, which unfortunately was the most problematic part of an already highly problematic production process.

And damn, dat teaser. I just hope the movie isn't a repeat of Cloverfield, with the Big G as a background disaster and the plot focused entirely in the tallking heads. People go to a Godzilla movie to see Godzilla, there is even a Trope named like that.

Well the leaked pics have shown one other monster so we have that atlest.
I am just glad to finally see the real trailer after being "rickrolled" for month...
IGN Rewind Theater - Godzilla …

someone from the a company affiliated with NECA posted pics of 'Zilla. Looks pretty good.

>>39349
I'm aware you are probably short listing the name Godzilla, but Zilla is the official name of Godzilla 97 to prevent it from ever being thought canon as anything besides a humiliation, and for what just happened is why I wish they had chosen GINO instead much clearer. Godzilla In Name Only.

Here, the only two videos featuring Zilla worth watching and how history will remember the pile of shit.

Godzilla Final Wars Godzilla Vs Zilla

Robot Chicken: Godzilla Returns

But yeah I like the design, kinda reminds me of instead of throwing a Cat in the mix you used a pug, his chubby solid nature and shorter snout are cool distinguishing factors that make him unique while still staying true to the spirit of the character.

>>39350
I will defend GINO!
In that the cartoon was good
Godzilla The Series - S1E1 - N…
And I have a soft spot for the toys...

>>39352
I had the remote control hundred dollar GINO and the animated series is to this day among the best.

With that in mind, the damage done to Godzilla, Giant monsters, special effects, film and ESPECIALLY music is the worst.

For the few good toys and single season of a good animated series the damage done to CULTURE was not worth it.

>>39352
GINO wasn't the monster in the cartoon, his kid was.

>>39354
And massively more durable and Godzilla like, hence his ability to actually use atomic breath.

>>39353
> the damage done to Godzilla, Giant monsters, special effects, film and ESPECIALLY music is the worst.

I think you are giving the 90s movie a bit too much credit, and overstimating how many fucks people do give about it.

>>39361
It single handedly killed the entire giant monster movie genre off for 10 years, but don't take my word for it, ask Peter Jackson how much he hates this movie for holding King Kong back.

It gave Roland Emmerich more work.

It retroactively made Jurassic Park look like the devilish herald of a world where everything is CGI as well as being a rancid and shameless ripoff.

It is perhaps one of the most HEAVILY, DISGUSTINGLY sold out movies ever made, that should be clear somewhere around the Taco Bell dog barking at Godzilla.

And forming a correlation to that and how disgusting it is and ending on the damage done to music.

Jimmy. Page. and. Puffy. Daddy. Collaboration.

I know you might have blocked that out but don't look it up, save yourself from the infinite woe.

>>39362
> It single handedly killed the entire giant monster movie genre off for 10 years

Was the genre even alive back then? Outside Japan, that's it. I don't recall watching any major thetrical releases involving giant monsters before the 90s Godzilla.

> It gave Roland Emmerich more work.
Emmrich was getting more work regardless of Godzilla, ID4 was simply too big.

> It retroactively made Jurassic Park look like the devilish herald of a world where everything is CGI as well as being a rancid and shameless ripoff.
Sorry, but you are talking out of your ass. Nobody thinks that of JP.

> It is perhaps one of the most HEAVILY, DISGUSTINGLY sold out movies ever made
Yeah, but there are plenty that are on the same level, and some that are even worse.

> Jimmy. Page. and. Puffy. Daddy. Collaboration.
And nobody gives a shit nowadays. The music sucked but it is not like it was a watermark on the industry and guided the style for years to come.

I am NOT defending the movie, it's shit. But again, you are clearly exaggerating how important and influential it is.

>>39363
It was though, it was a fucking terrible rip off of Jurassic Park.

But yes, I am exaggerating it, but not by much.

>>39362
>I know you might have blocked that out but don't look it up, save yourself from the infinite woe.

I always thought the music video was too hilarious for me to get mad at it.

>>39354
>>39355
Zilla Jr was the best american Zilla, and I think even Toho liked it enough to consider it part of their hall of honor.
And I remember the series even aliens made GINO a cyborg Zilla, atomic breath included.

>>39353
It's still a very good cartoon. And kind of an appropriate redemption from GINO. Way better than the Hanna-Barbera one. Even when that one had it's funny moments.
GODZILLA Cartoon Intro

Also, am I the only one who liked the Puff Daddy (back then) And Jimmy Paige collaboration?
That was my trampoline towards based Led Zeppelin.

>ITT: Tiki hates everything

If GINO/Zilla had really killed the giant monster genre, we wouldn't be getting a brand new movie in 2014 with ODSTs vs. Godzilla and Heisenburg trying to stop radioactive giant monsters.

Riddle me that.

>>39371
It didn't kill it, he damaged it severely, just ask Peter Jackson who had to wait a full 5 more years before he could green light King Kong due to that garbage.

Thus yes it did damage, though I will concede King Kong likely turned out far better for it and the improved technology though the fucking disgrace should always be treated as a shame; aside from the cartoon.

And you could not be more wrong, I've watched and read literally everything Godzilla and I've loved just about all of it; but Satsuma was right when he said it's not Godzilla, it doesn't have the spirit.

Oh more concepts and renders!

PJ's King Kong kinda sucked.

Nowhere near as bad as the 98 Godzilla, of course, but it wasn't a particulary good or fun movie.

Ah, but wait!
Did Toho not start making new Godzilla after 1998?
Maybe GINO was the boot to the arse they need to get their shit in gear?
And for that I think SHE (the eggs had to come from some sort of female hole damn it!) deserves a spot in the canon.
As the Dan Hibiki stand in.

>>39377
Granted.

>>39378
Toho only stopped to allow 98, since they had faith in American film, they realized it was sorely misplaced.

And yes, Zilla is in the canon, it was killed literally in thirty seconds though it had the honorable distinction of being the fastest monster in Toho canon, though it's speed just got it killed faster.

I say it because it's a hermaphrodite.

>>39379
Nature finds a way, to get turned into a radioactive smear.

>>39378

>motherfucking Varan gets a spot on a comic book cover

Mah nigga finally gets his turn in the limelight.

He's like Baragon, poor bastard never gets any love. Seriously, why are there not more toys of this guy? His design is great.

>>39392
I especially like his jumping deal, it's radical that a giant monster would pull a flying squirrel.

first scene in the movie. Zilla enters by tail slide.

>>39377
It really was really pretty bad.
So terribly long and drawn out... and Jack Black in it.

>>39397
Jack Black was actually great in it because he injected some much needed life, it's the last hour or so that's in New York that's the good part.

I-I must be the only one with a soft spot for Hollywood!Godzilla...

>>39362
>ask Peter Jackson how much he hates this movie for holding King Kong back.
Serves him well, even I think that movie was a disaster.

It was also a good thing for most everyone, since he had to make LotR before he was allowed to make it.

>>39400
Zilla, he's not Hollywood!Godzilla, he's Zilla, that's his official name and you are not alone, as a completely separate entity from Godzilla he's fine though the movie is a thousand, MILLION times worse than king Kong and you are fucked in the head if you believe it's not.

The main problem with King Kong is that Peter Jackson was too much of a fanboy. That may sound like a good thing at first, but Jackson obviously wanted to exapand everything from the original and revisit every scene with reverence and spend as much time "savoring" every bit of scenery and whatnot, and the pacing went to shit for it. Yes, the oldschool NY setting looked cool. No, you did not need to spend so much time on it at the beginning of the movie when every-fucking-body wanted to move to the murder island of horrors, and especially since later in the film we'd return to NY anyway.

>>39405
I get the impression there was some serious color filter going on in NY, which for me doesn't help.
And yeah, I can see the fanboyism on the Jet Li!King Kong scene when he fights two T-Rexes.

>>39401
Well at least "Zilla" had a 90s blockbuster feel (it's hard to describe. the whole directing, lighting etc), which has its own charm. I didn't see anything like that in King Kong.

>>39420
That's because Zilla is a complete rip off of Jurassic park.

>>39422
>rip off
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

>>39425
Stealing ideas and/or products to create something of lesser value.

Again I point you to:
Robot Chicken: Godzilla Returns

Zilla is a bad aping of Jurassic Park, it's literally just the T-rex bigger and extended to the plot of a whole movie.

>>39427
That comparison is shakier than a jello mold. By that logic, Pearl Harbor is a rip off of Independence Day, except with Japanese instead of aliens.

>>39428
At any rate it's a fucking terrible movie.

Hey remember how great it was when Emmerich and Devlin inserted Siskel and Ebert into the movie so he could belittle their entirely justified negative reviews of his AWFUL movies? As Mayor Ebert and his Aide? Remember? how funny it was they were sniveling morons who were evil and quick to anger?

Man I'm watching it AGAIN to make sure I wasn't being overly negative about it but I was actually underselling it's wretchedness.

Also 2 minutes of research on Godzilla 1997 will reveal it's desperate attempts to capitalize on Jurassic Park's success and how much critics pointed out it's vary obviously stolen material such as it's children being raptors.

>>39431
well that's Hollywood in a nutshell. One makes a blockbuster movie and the others ape it for the next few years after.

>>39432
Yup and it's getting WAAAAAAAAAAY worse.

>>39428
I think Independence Day is less biased in every way, tough.

>>39431
>how much critics pointed out it's vary obviously stolen material such as it's children being raptors.
I think that's hard to dispute. Come to think of it, sad that it ended up being essential part of the story.

I had no idea who these actors were, probably would have had a bigger laugh by then. They weren't out of place in the movie, at least.

>>39433
yea they've been suffering from sequel and remakeitus for too long.

>>39434
It's especially funny when you find out that Siskel and Ebert were like "You put us as cartoonish parodies into your movie, in your giant monster movie, so you could talk shit about us and DIDN'T kill us off? Lame."

Say what you want about Emmerich, but ID4 remains a solid, fun, immensely rewatchable popcorn flick.

>>39439
Hmm....yes, I will allow it. It has a lot of flaws, but Independence Day is watchable. And Stargate gave rise to a very enjoyable TV series.

...but I think ID4's watchability was a fluke, and owed a lot to the actors involved. And I think Stargate's TV series worked IN SPITE of the source material, rather than because of it.

>>39439
>>39440
Damn and now I find out people didn't like Stargate much?!

Either it's a cultural thing or there's just something wrong with me, I can deal with it. (Worth noting, "2012" was a letdown. "The Day After Tomorrow" was way closer to what I expected/wanted.)

>>39441
I would probably like it better if I [/i]hadn't[/i] seen SG-1, to be honest. It's just that the characters that were present in the movie were so much more likeable in their SG-1 incarnations that it makes it hard to enjoy the original.

>>39442
Never got around to seeing some of the Showtime seasons. of SG-1

Also Netflix has some of the Toho MST3Ks up.

>>39442
Stargate inexplicably lucked into having an incredibly engaging and easily exploitable central conceit that was ready-made for a much larger franchise, and further lucked into being picked up by the goddamned Macgyver. The movie itself is dumb schlocky Chariots of the Gods-inspired nonsense as expected from Emmerich and his ilk, enjoyable with your brain switched off much like ID4 (which might well have benefited from a similar Macgyvering - there's a ton of fan material exploring ID4's aftermath).

If you look at the quality of Godzilla the Series as opposed to the wretchedness of Godzilla the Movie, this seems to be a weird pattern with Emmerich films.

The only good parts of Emmerich movie is the effects.
I skip the rest.

And SG-1 was a good show, made channel 6 worth watching back when it was new.

Godzilla Official Japanese Tra…
This have some new shots in it.

So what are the betting odds on the new movie have the classic theme even in remix form?
(this is the one I am talking about just to be clear The Godzilla Theme )

Also was I the only one that read the toy info?
Man I hope MUTO is just a stand in name...

>>39528
Come on, you can't deny "Muto" is a very godzilla-ish name for a monster.

>>39540
Yeah true, but they cant just it on BOTH of the other monsters.
Unless its the same one doing the classic bug thing know as molting.
And what does it stand for anyway?

Godzilla: Unleashed (PS2) Jame…

James and Mike talk Godzilla movies while playing PS2 Godzilla fighters

>>39550
They're a male and female of the same species according to script leaks, the winged one being the female. The Mutos are basically Megaguirus on steroids.

>>39540
>>39550
What the hell are you two talking about? I have no problems with the name Muto but it's a really really western un-Godzilla name.

>>39566
I am not sure how Muto allegendly sounds more "western" than Hedorah, Varan, or King Caesar.

>>39567
Muto, as in a variation on mutant.

It's just a very western style name, contrasting that with King Caesar the only other western sounding name you mentioned it's got a Big'Ol "KING" slapped on there so you know where it's at.

Now again this is a western film so their is nothing wrong with a name like Muto but it need a little pump on it, you can't expect anyone to Scream "MUTO!!!" when he shows up like people do with Mothra and that's just "ra" tossed on the back of "Moth" yet it creates Godzilla levels of hype.

Needs a little Mutosuarus, Mutora, Megamut, Mutogon, Mutoking, etc.

I mean he's probably a jobber but with a name like Muto anyway but if that's the final name I hope they aren't giving him any real billing.

>>39569
Muto's actually an acronym for Massive Unidentified Target Object

>>39570
That makes it both a better name and even more western than I thought, I still think it could use a shot in the arm but hey, maybe the States we finally have a decent Kaiju.

>>39570
Reminds me how in Cloverfield, the actual in-universe name for the creature (which nobody ever used) was the LSA or "Large Scale Agressor"

>>39576
Yes but the less said about that movie the better, I can't fucking believe how awful it ended up being.

>>39570
Thank you for answering my question.
Also that means they can give them (real) code names like Pacific Rim later.
Right?

Have we gotten any solid confirmation that Godzilla will posses his nuclear breath?

From what I understand, the leaked toy info suggests he will, but alas the toys are not always 100% movie-accurate.

>>39588
Yup, they have said it wouldn't be Godzilla without the Atomic breath.

OH HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIIIIIT

>>39591
Come on mang, that's OLD news, older than raptor jesus

>>39591
>first I was like: who?
>so I googled
>and now I'm like Apu colibrí
But gods I hope they keep the eyepatch.

And I disagree on what you said about Battra because I like his design, the ying yang brother sister thing and that he was not called something boring like /yami/dark/nega-mothra.
Got more but need to sleep

>>39593
Wait are you talking about what I said in the /co/ thread?

>>39694
Yes, I did not fell like finding digging up that thread when when we all are already here.

l&utm_content=

>>39700
All I said is I'd reinvent Battra so he was separate from Mothra, I didn't say it was because I disliked him, it's actually BECAUSE I like him.

He's only been in one movie despite being super popular and it's because he's a problem to write due to his yin/yang stuff.

If you bring Battra in you've gotta bring Mothra in and usually it's a Godzilla movie and usually that means their is already a monster fighting him.

It's lame when your monsters don't get enough focus, my plan was just to make Battra more portable if you know what I mean, just easier to use.

>>39701
Okay.
But I dont think so.
They did Battra solo in the IDW comic.
It all about how good you are at making shit up.

Hell I'd have them(m&b) be twins from the same eggs, all the time throughout history, reincarnated as the asexual spawned(from Mothra) magical guardians of earth working as a sword and shield combo.

Intill the more aggressiv sword gets sick of all the shit humans do now days and pisses off on his own quest, maybe joining the "evil" earth kaiju team.

Unless he gets killed the first time he shows up.
Again...

Redesigning them to look a little more similar would be nice too.

But thats just what I want/made up.

>"Trying to get the face right was the main thing," says Edwards. "I guess he's got more of a bear's face, or a dog's. We also used eagle. There's a lot of nobility in an eagle. It made him feel very majestic and noble." Edwards also used London-based motion-capture facility The Imaginarium and its head, one Andy Serkis, on certain sequences to "control the souls" (as Edwards puts it) of his creations.

SNICKERS® - "Godzilla"

>>39862
Won't deny it, that made me chuckle.

Word is up that the scene with the nuke in the trailer, is the Castle Bravo nuclear test, which in the movie's universe the "test" part was the official story of an attempt by the US goverment to destroy Godzilla in 1954.

Holy shit, this Godzilla took a 15MT Hydrogen bomb practically point blank and survived.

>>39867
He took a miniature black hole at point blank to the face and survived once.

black hole vs gojira

>>39868
That thing was weaksauce, it didn't even destroy all the Meganulas with the blast. A 15MT nuke would have left the whole island a scorching pile of glass.

>>39867
If that killed godzilla then where did the bones come from

>>39874
According to the leaked plot details (which must be taken with the provervial grain of salt), the skeleton is of another of Godzilla's species. Allegedly, that scene is where they find the Muto's eggs.

>>39874
It's probably a Godzillasaurus.

Major props for the heavily implied "Godzilla comes to eat a leaking nuclear reactor" plotline, though. Godzilla being a radiation munching monster is more interesting than Godzilla just stepping on a city because yolo.

>>40054
>90% rehashed footage from the first trailer
That's a pretty normal occurence as trailers go.

> dat awful smoke/waves cgi, don't tell me it's just in post-production, may is like 20 days away
Don't be silly, it looked alright.

> why didn't they just use real smoke for the reactor leak
Dunno, perhaps they didn't manage to make it move like that.

> yet another edit of Godzilla and then the Muto's leg coming down like it's Godzilla's leg what the what?
I am not even sure what the heck are you complaining about.

>>40054
My personal favorites are "Godzilla is wreaking us because some fucking idiots just can't stop thinking it's a great idea to stick their dick in his fire ant hill."

http://www.vulture.com/2014/05/you-wont-see-much-godzilla-in-godzilla.html

Think along the lines of Alien, Jaws or Jurassic Park, where the movie teases and builds up to the reveal of the beast to avoid CGI fatigue. The director calls it "cinematic foreplay."

>>40222
I hope that doesn't backfire on the movie, the " Just Here for Godzilla " trope is called like that for a reason. I mean, I know a ton of people that got pissed off at Cloverfield because you barely saw the monster. The payoff has to be HUGE for the buildup.

>>40222
Why must Godzilla movies always have to focus on the puny humans so much?

This is one of the big reasons that the Michael Bay Transformers movies sucked.

>>40224
>>40223
The original film had Godzilla only making landfall twice, once for his fifteen-minute rampage and then once more when they use the Oxygen Destroyer. Much of the film was focused on the human suffering in the aftermath and wondering just how they were going to stop this thing. Two hours of Godzilla smashing things non-stop would be boring if we didn't see some consequences.

Also, this movie has the benefit of not being a found-footage flick.

>>40225
>15 minutes

Still more than what we're getting with this

Times have changed. People want to see the monster wrecking shit, not generic disaster movie character cliche whining about his family or personal failings.

>>40226
>Still more than what we're getting with this

And you're certain of this how? Ninety-plus minutes of constant action gets boring really fast. The best monster movies have tension and build-up.

Also, having really well-designed sets helps too. Note the lack of green screen.

People are bad at identifying exactly what they don't like about things. It's very easy to misattribute your dissatisfaction to superficial issues rather than the true causes.

People seriously seem to have no idea of just how little Godzilla appears in his own movies compared to the human plot. This isn't some new thing, literally every major Godzilla film has had a large focus on humanity dealing with him and trying to survive or stop his bullshit. Even Godzilla: Final Wars, a movie known for having more giant monster fights than every other film in the series, spends more time on the Earth Defense Force dealing with the Xilliens, than Big G himself.

I'll just put this here...

Just watched this clip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKiOw-iABpk

Lovin' how Godzilla doesn't give a damn about the puny humans firing their toy guns at his tail.

So, there are some reviews out. The consensus seems to be that:

A) Bryan Cranston was good, and the movie would have benefited greatly if he was the main character.

B) Aaron Taylor sucks ass, and he brings down the general quality of the film

C) the first third of the film actually spuns a nice mystery, but the second act doesn't really do anything with that, and nobody cares anymore when shit finally hits the fan.
