As soon as Bryan Cranston's character died, Godzilla 2014 took a nose dive for me.

Yeah it's like, it's good because you have Cranston who is incredible and a building suspense and then the movie turns it over to Quicksilver and Wanda.

 

[Toa TAK]

Movie has sweet cinematography. Hopefully it isn't wasted.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

After Pacific Rim and Godzilla it is nice that we get to see these secondary monster in the daylight.

even he thinks that himself

"That character dying at that time was a mistake. It was. It was a mistake. I knew it when I read it. When I read it, I said, ‘Oh, page 50, this character - who is the emotional core, the center that was guiding the story up to that point – he dies? What a waste.’ And they kind of dealt with it poorly."

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Jeez Louise, swap John Goodman and John Reily immediatelly and it would salvage all that bad humor.

Otherwise, I see why this was originally just called SKULL ISLAND. Kaiju mayhem woo!

 

[Cow Mengde]

I was worried this would be based on the shitty novel with a similar name. Very happy that's not the case. I will watch the crap out of this.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Next year may be the best year for geek movies. Because looking through the list, good god...

Ya man Jesus Star Wars 8, this, planet of the apes, spider man, GotG 2. Why so packed?

That trailer was tight as hell tho im hyped!!!!!

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Not too sure about the humour. It'll probably play out much better in the film but it felt out of place here, especially in contrast to the first trailer.

THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT

 

[pixelation]

I really like it.

 

[Maximo]

Got rid of the best character and replaced him with his boring as fuck son.

 

[More_Badass]

THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT

You know why

 

[Salsa]

THEN WHY DID YOU DO IT

 

[Blablurn]

I hope they go all out, and just add Pacific Rim to the mix at one point.

They better.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I hope they go all out, and just add Pacific Rim to the mix at one point.

Isn't that sort of the plan? They talked about crossing over Pacific Rim with Godzilla years ago.

 

[Ashhong]

Goddamn, there's like 5 people from MCU in this lol

Brie looks amazing. Will watch for her at least

 

[Vampirolol]

I like it a lot.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

the fact that they cant use the name King Kong but can totally use Kong is still so hilarious to me

the poster literally says "hail to the king... KONG"

Wait, why can't they? King Kong is public domain.

 

[hateradio]

Who are the real monsters, I wonder.

 

[Nakadai30]

can't handle some bantz, m8?



I'd love to see something like that. Then again, I'm that one guy that really wanted a Terrence Malik-directed Superman film after the teaser for MoS dropped.

That would be about as far a cry as you could get from Zac Snyder's Man of Steel. And almost certainly an improvement.

 

[AgentChris]

Corpsman Dey, Nick Fury, Loki and Captain Marvel join forces with Caesar' giant grandad.

 

[PhantomX1313]

This fulfills my needs of kong, that lizard should stand on 2 legs to fight or else they are saving some doomsday.1/2

 

[Haines]

Idk why everyone is acting like John's humour sucked.

He really wasn't trying to be hilarious. He was trying to be a character and nails it.

Just bad editing is all.

 

[daviyoung]

Using Kong as Col. Kurtz is pretty fucking inspired, I'll give it that.

Looks like an Apocalypse Now reboot

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Kaijuverse?

For me I think it'll work in the context of the film, but for the trailer it felt a tad out of place. But it certainly hasn't ruined my exceedingly-too-high excitement!

 

[Thewonandonly]

Movie has sweet cinematography. Hopefully it isn't wasted.

Right that's all I think about is just how damn beautiful this looks. Exspecially the explosions in the sun glasses.

Little off topic but I have a quick question. Seeing as this is a recent movie thread I will ask it here. Does anyone know a good movie podcast that's talked about latest trailers and news. Kind of like PS I love you but for movies

 

[Instro]

Who are the real monsters, I wonder.

Really makes you think.

This. Totally agreed. His character is off the hinges and the trailer decided to focus on it. I don't think it paints the whole picture.

Ya I think he will have the same role as Charlie day did in pacific rim. Which were some of my favorite parts, but that's cause I love Charlie day

 

[PhantomX1313]

Fuking make godzilla moan and throw his fire breathe in the sky making a banana to signal kong frm nyc in after credits scene.2/2

 

[Ashhong]

That would be about as far a cry as you could get from Zac Snyder's Man of Steel. And almost certainly an improvement.

2 hours of absolutely nothing happening on the screen? Sounds like exactly what I want from my Superman film

 

[maquiladora]

Was NOT expecting that tonal shift. Loved the tone of the first trailer. This one though.....

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Trailer has confirmed to me that Vogt-Roberts might just be crazy enough to make that MGS movie he's attached to, anyone who makes an Apocalypse Now mashup and plugs in King fucking Kong as Kurtz is crazy enough to do metal gear right.

 

[Bishop89]

that was amazing. Loved it.

Looks heaps better than peter jacksons

 

[Mariolee]

This just got me hyped up.

 

[Einchy]

Not the tone I was expecting at all

Neither was I but I REALLY like it. Seems like a ton of fun.

 

[Gravidee]

I feel like with this tone, they're easing us into a world of monsters where it's meant to be taken seriously, but not overly serious as was depicted in Godzilla 2014. Could mean a tonal shift for the next two Godzilla movies which will have more Toho monsters.

 

[neorej]

I'm gonna go live in theatres next year.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Well fuck me that looked alright

 

[Luigiv]

Trailer was alright but the name could use work. Should have called it "Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie: The Movie".

 

[stilgar]

The trailer did nothing for me.

But this :

This, I loved.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Looks rad, and I appreciate that it's not being totally po faced and serious after Godzilla turned into a snore fest without Brian Cranston propping everything up. The first trailer really set the drama and stakes up well, but this one shows it's more than a single note generic narrative beat stretched out to monotony.

These kind of big ridiculous blockbusters need that contrasting light and shade, otherwise it all gets bogged down into either shitty melodrama or unengaging farce.

 

[xrnzaaas]

That was a good trailer for about one minute.

 

[Phreakuency]

Whoever greenlit the (attempted) comedy relief should be fired.

Horrible trailer.

 

[Cindres]

I'm super keen on it but the tone of the trailer was all over the place. Is it going to be serious, light hearted, Cheesy?

 

[ScottSullivan]

I'm in wait and see mode since Godzilla 2014 broke my heart
