    This actually looks pretty good. And the trailer, unlike so many trailers these days, isn't giving everything away. Or... if it is, this is going to be one weird movie.

    Definitely. I quit trailers half way through sometimes because so many now show the entire plot.

    This movie looks incredible. I can't wait.

    The director has said there will be other monsters and if you look closely at the new trailer, there are glimpses....(Rodan at 1:32?).

    Last summer, at Comic-Con, they showed some footage that involved another monster attacking an airport:

    just give the movie studios time.. usually for movies the first trailers or teasers are awesome cause they dont give everything away. As the movie approached release they have new trailers that show more and more.. i hate trailers like that and usually try to turn away.

    I used to go to Blockbuster with my gramps and always rent a Godzilla movie and we'd watch it together.

    Definitely one of my nerdy passions. Can't wait; hopefully we're treated to an actual Godzilla movie, rather than that '98 trash-heap.

    Hoping this will be better than Pacific Rim. The film started it promising only to come crashing down in the 2nd half of the film, anyone feel this way about Pacific Rim.

    Pacific Rim was just badd-ass, balls to the wall fun. But it did lack character depth and an epic quality. This, though, definitely looks like it could be more of a complete film.

    This is shaping up to be badass. If Hollywood can make good remakes then I'm all for it.

    I love these type of movies. But please do not let there be baby godzillas like in that last terrible movie. Why did they need to remake the kitchen scene from jurassic park.

    Cloverfield was better than Pacific Rim. For one thing the escalation and suspense kept building and building while Pacific Rim fell flat on its ass big time. It tried so hard to incorporate all this other **** but failed when all we wanted was some robots fighting Kaiju beast and that didn't even hold its end of the bargain.

    Everyone looking forward to this should watch Monsters, a film done by the same director. It was Monsters that actually convinced the moneymakers to hire Gareth Edwards as the director for Godzilla.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1470827/

    Don't be fooled by its average rating on IMDB. It's a good film. The worst part of the film is the below average acting skills of the two lead actors, but that won't be a problem with Godzilla.

    It is very character driven, and from what I've read that's how Godzilla will be too.

    A creature of that size cannot survive underwater as well as out of it.

    It will be crushed by its own weight.

    A creature of that size walking on two legs? Forget about it. The legs wont be able to support that kind of weight. He will be lucky to just stand on two, much less be able to walk and endure additional stresses. The knees, and ankles....we are talking Yao Ming part 2.0.

    Also, this guy better be all lungs because if he isnt then the incredible amount of cells in his body (massive volume/surface area ratio) are not getting enough oxygen and he will be huffing and puffing just by taking one step.

    Fail biomechanics. Fail physiology.

    Fake.

    Not watching.

    Monsters is one of the most pleasant surprises I have ever gotten with a film. I absolutely loved it. The ability to create a film this good on such a low budget was incredible. Monster's was literally driven by atmosphere and suspense. Showing very little of the enemy. The actor's in my opinion where great for being unknown. I did hate the guy at first but as the filmed carried on I began to like him. Character development was present. Once again, Monsters is one of the best films I have ever seen. Yes I liked it that much.

    I was not aware it was the same director. This completely sold me to watching it on the big screen. If he did Monsters with a bunch of DSLR's and a low low budget I cant imagine what he will do with Godzilla.... I'm excited... Thanks for the info Haymitch
