    Looks excellent, like the idea that nukes in the 50's were trying to kill it rather than create him and all the earthquake and disasters are caused by Godzilla. Would have been better if they kept all that secret though

    Some of the Godzilla FX seemed a bit ropey tbh, particularly the scene with the flares. Usual caveats about trailers apply, but I hope they're still working on things.

    Still looks interesting though; the real trick's going to be whether the script resists the temptation / pressure to enable humanity - or more specifically, the US armed forces - to defeat Godzilla. If that's allowed to happen it'll undermine the whole point of the creature.

    Cool that they're keeping the nuclear motif, I had wrongly guessed they wouldn't and it's an intriguing direction to go for; that the nukes were actually trying to kill it, that they didn't accidentally create the beast (I also spotted flashes of other big beasties during the trailer, perhaps they're the results of the 'testing')

    Nice. It has the same tone as the first trailer, so I'm still looking forward to it with some optimism. I disliked the '98 effort as a Godzilla movie (if you think of it as a giant dinosaur attacks NYC, it's passable, but it just wasn't Gojira) so it's interesting that the new movie also refers to the 1950s nuclear testing in the Pacific but clearly denies that that testing gave "birth" to the monster. In other words - and this is just what I choose to read into it :pac: - screw you Emmerich and your French Godzilleaux.

    I'm with you Pixelburp re the US military/humanity in general needing to be more or less powerless in the face of such natural force. The presence of other kaiju would make me hopeful that that would be the case - we need Godzilla to defeat other beasties as we are incapable ourselves. Well, fingers crossed anyway.

    Anyone got theories on the other monsters in the trailer? I am convinced I saw Rodan

    Thought that might be Rodan alright emerging from the clouds and diving into the water with wings tucked back. There's the insect claw we see stamp down which looks reminiscent of a spider or mantis. No idea about the orange-glowing tentacle that looks to be grabbing a missile.

    Tentacle monster could be Dogora.

    looks a bit by the numbers, if they introduce another monster then all will be well but just having a disaster movie starring a big monster is some thing we have already seen. I hope this turns out better than I expect.

    By all accounts it is monsters rather than just having one other monster.

    Bryan Cranston's character seems to be a mixture of Heisenberg and Hal. Halenberg. I like.

    If that is the case then it would peak my interest, I used to be a big fan of the Japanese films when I was a kid, mostly recorded from Channel 4.

    Not bothering with the trailers as I want to see this knowing as little as possible. Happened to see a trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man in the cinena last week and feel as if I've seen the entire thing given that they condensed the entire plot down into a handy 2 minutes

    I think having multiple mobsters is the way to go, especially if they plan to develop the character somewhat beyond being an unstoppable killing machine.

    You and me both. My favourite one was the one with King Ghidorah from 1991, used to watch that quite regularly as a kid. Been hunting for the DVDs of those movies for a while . . . .

    Honestly Ill probably watch this film just because of Cranston...And I agree about not watching the trailers, recently trailers seem to spoil most of the best scenes from films

    Yeah, New York getting annihilated by Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro would be epic on all sorts of scales.

    There was a leaked trailer online a few months ago that showed another monster. Looked like it was dead, and had numerous arms.
    And in the latest trailer there seems to a large creature that break cloud cover (winged monster).

    I have a feeling we'll see a number of different monsters. Really looking forward to this movie since I heard who was directing it.

    Channel 4 was great in the 1980's and early 1990's for anyone who enjoyed the original Godzilla films.

    They also went through a phase of showing a Kurosawa film (nowt to do with the big green guy I know) every weekend which introduced me to films that blew my young mind.

    The great thing is that, some 20 to 30 years later, the same films that blew my mind back then still have the same effect on me, and the creature features I loved back then are still just as enjoyable to watch today.

    Yeah, same for Shaw brothers movies, old Jackie Chan films and Bruce Lee as well as the Asia Extreme stuff. There was a few channels on sky when we first got it in the house that were great for that stuff too.
