Crap, there goes my hope for a Godzilla Beverly Hills Cop type movie. :lol

Well, you can still enjoy the Godzilla NYPD-type movie:

Warner Bros' Godzilla presentation at CinemaCon gave us a peek into the human story behind the monster story. It also gave us lots and lots of disturbing destruction, including a devestating tsunami that kills hundreds as Godzilla wades to shore on some South Pacific island.


It turns out that Bryan Cranston is an engineer at a nuclear power plant, where he works with his wife, Juliette Binoche. It seems like a normal day... until a strange seismic event shakes everything and a meltdown begins, and Binoche is right in the middle of it. Cranston runs down to the evacuating area only to see a radioactive cloud rushing at him. He knows his wife is still in there, but he has to slam shut a containment door or risk contaminating everything. She comes running to the window of the door just as further steel doors close, cutting them off and leaving her to die. The nuke plant goes on to completely collapse.


But Cranston knows that the seismic event wasn't an accident or an act of god. He knows something else was behind it, and that drives him as Godzilla begins to attack coastal cities.


The scope of the footage is impressive; the scale of the destruction is actually upsetting. It's interesting to see Gareth Edwards' approach to this - there's no disaster porn on display. Every bit of destruction is felt, not cheered on. This makes Godzilla appear to have a really strange tone for a blockbuster summer release.
 
Sounds like this movie will be as frighteningly reminescent of events like 9/11 as Gojira was to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I love that Edwards has been allowed to just make this film as it should be and not given a Hollywood sugar coating.
 
Curious to find out why they though Godzilla would look cool with his arms hanging down at his sides like that.

It is truly the one thing that drives me crazy about this new design.

I thought it looked odd at first, but it looks like they've taken that look from the way a crocodile holds it's arms underwater. If you take a closer look at Godzilla's new look, he's pretty much just a giant croc with a shorter snout. I'm interested in seeing how they explain his existence/history in the movie. I think the new look is a prefect mix of staying true to the original, yet designed well enough to make it "believable". As believable as a giant, atomic, monster can be I guess.

Yeah... I put pics of Crocs out of water with their arms like that comparing it with this Godzilla. Skin texture is without a doubt Crocodilian. That may be the reason... But personally It's my least fav part of the new design. In the newest trailer when we see him in the smoke I hate how his hanging arms look. It makes him look too humanoid IMO Like a big fat guy.... But hey I know that all can change when we see him in action. I just want to know why the film maker thought that was a good idea.
 
The main characters families last name is Brody...... The Daughter is Elle Brody........... Ellen Brody..... Me thinks I smell a little tribute to the greatest film ever :)
 
In no particular order, for me it's:

- JAWS
- Rambo
- Gojira
- Rocky Balboa
- Terminator 2
- Aliens
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Halloween
- Wrath of Khan
- Batman 89

OH I Love lists!!!!

My top Fav films of all time

JAWS
Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Die Hard
Raiders of the Lost Ark
An America Werewolf in London
The Thing
First Blood
ALIEN

All pretty much perfect films..... With the exception of JAWS.... Which is a perfect film.

I'm liking the sounds of everything so far. It's like Godzilla is being reborn again since 1954! I want this to be a mix of horror, action, and fantasy all in one, therefore making Godzilla a name that should be respected and not laughed at anymore. Can hardly wait.....
 
I saw this enormous figure at ToysRus of the new Godzilla design for $50 today. Was very tempting. Can't wait to see some high-end collectibles.

That's what we like to hear.
