Legendary Pictures' GODZILLA - !!SPOILERS!!

[RIDDICK]

Godzilla's form was based on bear.

Edwards talked about it long ago.

Saw this image posted on another site, I think it's pretty clear now, Godzilla's overall build and form was based hevily on bears.

funny, that is pretty dead on.

I am getting afraid that with all these clips and things being released that the same thing that happened with Spiderman 2 is happening here and we are going to end up seeing all the godzilla scenes online.

his screen time is short from what It has been said and it is starting to look like we are seeing too much

I'm going to stop watching the clips now, I've only seen the one that the gif above is from and the let them fight flip, from here on out, I'm going cold with the trailers and clips. Only two weeks left before I'm in a theater watching the movie.

Uh no. We've seen no fight scenes, no punches thrown, only quick glimpse and the monsters standing before each other. We haven't even seen the second monster yet. Spiderman 2 showed you everything, from the fights to the goblin, to how Gwen will die. Godzilla on the other hand showed more human interaction and only a little of godzilla.

i know we havent seen the fights... .Yet there is still some time.

And you might think they showed little of godzilla but didn't some reviews say they only really show him at the very end? or did i imagine hearing that? I don't know,

I think you nailed it! The resemblance is uncanny!

I dont think they'd show him at the end. he shows up multiple times throughout the movie it seems.

i read that the first time he shows up is after

Spoiler

one hour has passed

 

[ironwez20]

Which really isnt a bad thing. Im sure we'll have glimpse and stuff of him. Idk we'll see.

Godzilla is going to play out very much like JAWS, Jurassic, Park, Alien, etc. The first hour of the movie is going to establish the humans and the grand situation they're all in so that once the monster mayhem unfolds, we're invested in the characters thrown into the midst of it. From what I've read of more recent reviews, early reviewers over-exaggerated how brief Godzilla's screen time is, likely let down (due to expectation) by him not being in it over the course of the whole film, but frankly, if they understood CGI costs at all, they'd know that's pretty unrealistic.

If you were to add up the actual screen time of all the Godzilla shots we've gotten in the trailer, I don't think there's even been five minutes of him shown, they've given us only a proper tease, there is so much we haven't seen. What we've gotten is reveal shots and roars and that's about it, we haven't seen him fight mutos, we haven't seen his atomic ray in use, we haven't seen him fighting with the military but for a shot of some missiles hitting him.

The marketing team has done a great job of giving us just enough to get excited over without giving out the payoff footage.

Preview a few OST tracks, I'm really liking what I hear.

I can hear influence from past Godzilla scores, the JAWS score, Jurassic Park and such, great choices for this movie.

 

[ironwez20]

O I like godzilla victory!

Here's another great thing about the new Godzilla movie, they don't spoil the best shots. They might do in the late marketing push, but as of now—marketing is doing cinematic foreplay the right way!

[–]that_guy2010 25 points 1 day ago
Answer it so we all know: is the big flying MUTO in San Francisco the same one from the airport?
How much screen time did Godzilla actually get?
Was the atomic breath amazing? Was there a good crowd reaction when he used it?
What was your favorite scene, without spoiling anything if you can.

[–]r_antrobus 37 points 1 day ago*
No. Alright, some confusion here. Yes, flying Muto ends up in SanFran. But he's not "big" compared to
Plenty of screen time. Those journalists might have underestimated American audiences...(Well, the same audiences did give Grown Ups 2 a 100 million dollar opening....)
Atomic breath was ****ing amazing, people clapped! I clapped! I had a rock hard erection that stayed hard throughout the entire movie!
****, too many to choose from. 3 words. "KISS OF DEATH"

[–]that_guy2010 6 points 1 day ago
I have plenty of other questions. I hope I'm not over stepping my boundaries by asking more.
How was the score?
Run time?
Do the MUTOs ever get names other than MUTO 1 and 2? Not asking what they are, just if they do.
What character stood out as having a great story arc, or having the best moment?

[–]r_antrobus 16 points 1 day ago*
Desplat's score was great. Though most of the tracks kind of sound like variations of the theme, the theme will stick with you—trust me.
A little over 2 hours, don't worry—it's appropriately lengthed.
Nah. Just MUTO.
Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has a really great moment with muto and Godzilla.

Do Godzilla's fins light up before he shoots his atomic breath?

[–]r_antrobus 54 points 1 day ago
Hell ****ing yes!

Well there you have it. His screen time is fine. Guess most people were expecting a bayfest with all destruction and no substance but that aint what godzilla is about. Its the buildup that makes it worth it.

I can hear something very bland and lazy... Yep, definitely Desplat.
That bit from Ifu(k)ube's Fantasia No.1 was soooo out of place, made me dizzy for a minute.

So reading that reviewer's posts, sounds like it's official that Godzilla is not humanity's savior like the he eventually became in the Showa era, but he's not a direct threat to man either, he stayed away from man until the mutos arise, but he destroys everything in his path.

Sounds like they took both sides of Godzilla and combined them into one, probably trying to tap into fans of both, as they're often divided. I'm fine with that, though I was hoping for some just Godzilla destruction.

Mobile game from WB, not the Smash3 game, doens't looks as nice for graphics but it's free for phones, I haven't played yet but I downloaded it.

 

[MaulFan]

For anyone with a spotify account, the full soundtrack is on there now, I'm listening as we speak.



Track 2 sounds a lot like something from Alien.

 

[RavenEye]

There better be Godzilla Rises theme in that soundtrack!
