So what you're saying is his eyes would roll over white and you'd hear that terrible high pitched screaming?
Ok I got to say this... Can we all stop comparing JAWS with anything... It's the greatest movie ever and nothing comparesSeriously though... While I like the characters in Jurassic Park they are not even close to the characters in JAWS... I could watch a movie about Brody, Quint, and Hooper and have no Shark in it and I would still enjoy it. Those are some Great fleshed out characters. Jurassic Park... Not so much. They were good enough that I cared that they did not get eaten by Dino's but that was about it.
Just remember JAWS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything.
Eeww, Jaws. What an overrated, pseudo-horror, "monster" film.
My copy of Art of Destruction shipped an should be here tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest

What?? I am all for Quint being in this Godzilla film.... Perhaps it was Godzilla that sank the USS Indianapolis
There are a few Brody's in this movie

he played john lennon in nowhere boy, apparently he was pretty good there. The films about the forming of the Beatles when they were young.

CGI isn't the end all for creatures in movies, it still takes time and money to add, so basically, you either inflate your film with CGI and dial back on the quality of everything else or you get a good cast and use the CGI when necessary.
Yes, JAWS did a lot becaue of issues with the shark, but many people and even Spielberg will say the movie is better because of it and had the shark worked everytime they wanted it to, you'd have gotten a lesser movie (Deep Blue Sea
You think they wanted to limit Hulk's screen time as much as it was in Avengers or any of the Hulk movies? No, but being an all CGI character, there's only so much they can do on top of the rest of the CGI work they need to do.
Same with Godzilla, when CGI is used, it's going to be so heavy that I'm sure budget only allows you to do so much.
Building up the reveal and suspense isn't a marketing gimmick for the film, Edwards is just a director who takes a liking to the Spielberg type approach to films and it's refreshing to see someone is capable of doing such movies.
You'll still have Michael Bay and such around for those films, but those who appreciate good storytelling and patiently waiting for a big finish to a film, people like Edwards will be around. Everyone wins.
Funny thing I find when people keep on talking about Transformers and Bay is that in the first transformers movie, outside of the opening scene with blackout at the base, there's really little to no robot vs robot action until the 3rd act of the film besides the Bumblebee vs barakade fight. But that fight was something we barely saw, it was in the background. I'm not trying to defend transformers but people make it sound like it was beginning to end non stop action and it wasn't even close to that. Optimus doesn't even thrown his first punch until like what, an hour and 45 mins into the film? It sounds like godzilla will be quite the same but the main difference will be godzilla won't be filled with the dumbest characters you've seen talking about the most unnecessary things that have nothing to do with the plot.
Didn't make it into the screening tonight. The weekend is suddenly so far away.

Did not know:
One curious detail, which Mr. Tsutsui noticed in his research, is that Godzilla goes from four toes on each foot to three. That change might seem innocuous, but Mr. Tsutsui said there was a significant reason for it. “In Japan, four is a very unlucky number,” he noted. “So it makes sense that at the periods when Godzilla has been the most ominous, he should have four toes. In the period when he was less threatening, he would have three toes.”
Emmerich you tricky bastard:
Mr. Emmerich said in a phone interview. “He came up with a design, and they told us we had to go to Japan to get it approved.” Mr. Tatopoulos’s design made Godzilla iguanalike, slinking crouched through the city. In taking the design to Toho, Mr. Emmerich timed the visit to when “Independence Day” was opening the Tokyo film festival: “Toho, who had the rights to ‘Godzilla,’ was also the distributor of ‘Independence Day.’ That naturally was in our favor.” As for the Toho reps, “I saw it in their face that they weren’t prepared for that version,” Mr. Emmerich said. “But because ‘Independence Day’ had been a huge hit, they thought, ‘Oh God, we cannot say no to this guy.' ” Mr. Emmerich made his version. Toho used the man-in-a-suit formula in “Godzilla 2000.”
Bird was right:
The 2014 Godzilla is digital, but the team has taken great care to make him recognizable. “It was less about designing something iconic and never seen before, and more about giving reality to a familiar face,” said Andrew Baker, a creature designer at WETA Workshop, which worked on the new monster. The filmmakers wanted an angular and hard-lined face. Mr. Edwards thought rounded features connoted a Godzilla that was too cute. “When you’re designing the face, you end up in this triangle of potential pitfalls,” he said. “If you go too much in one direction, he looks like a dragon; too much in another direction, he looks like a kitty; and too much in a third direction, he looks like a dinosaur.” After seeing the Skeksis creatures from the book “The Dark Crystal,” he decided to employ the appearance of a bird of prey. “There’s something noble about eagles and birds of prey, and it’s mainly because the top of their nose is very close to the brow of their eyes.” Godzilla got deep eye sockets, which accentuate his cheekbone
