Godzilla . 2014 .

My aged brain meat no longer secretes the chemicals to get about this sort of movie. Where once there was joy, now only disappointment and indifference.

I wanna get big time blazed™ & watch this big time lizard™ on a big time screen™

All da kool kidz is jaded as fuk. Slammin' da movies b4 they hit da theatres, ya dig.

Don't worry watmm I'm sure the movie will have at least a few shots of people looking into the thin air for extended periods of time. EZ

I'm really looking forward to this.

*puts on shameface*

Is Jeff Goldblum in it?

He's not!?

Fuck this shit im outta here

new trailer is out.

personally i'm hyped as shit.

Isn't that the exact same trailer that's been out for a week or so?? Was really hoping it was actually new. Got damn internets

New trailer. I watched with the sound off, since I'm at a library, but it looks like shit blows up good.

Nice use of Bryan Cranston urgently yelling about hubris or cover-ups or something. I'm looking forward to this. May it not suck entirely.

ligeti's requiem was the best part of the trailer

Thought the CGI in the rising-out-of-the-water clip was just as bad as the Broderick version.

Still, there are plenty of intriguing elements to have maintained my interest, What's going on with that missile that appears to be covered in giant spores? Whose claw is that coming down? A flying monster but which one?

Looks pretty badass to me

yeah, they have my money.

I can't see anything Godzilla-related anymore without BOC playing in my head (not that BOC):

most of the cg looked pretty bad...and could they sell Cranston any harder? lol

Fantastic article, thanks for sharing.

So has anyone seen this yet? Dunno whether to splash the cash or not...

I can agree.

It's a tough one to dissect for me because a lot of it was ... Good! It all added up and made a lot of sense and the characters had motives and we had reasons to care for the characters and there was build up and awesome monster scenes and etc and etc...

The movie has a big focus on characters and showing their side of story. And for me ... >> none << of this was particularly engaging. It's boring to sit through for two or whatever hours.

I'd enjoy a bit more soul(??) in a film ... I mean.. I can enjoy dumb action films and smart action films and whatever. But for a film so invested in its pacing and it's building up and its characters it's just a bit soulless and unengaging.

And like, no matter how awesome the bit at the end where Godzilla (spoiler spoiler spoiler) is, nothing really saves it from generally genuinely being a boring film.

I thought Godzilla was super cute. Reminded me of a little fat kid. If that fat kid was cute.

I can agree with that.

I had a feeling a movie that used Ligeti from 2001 A Space Odyssey in the trailer wouldn't be able to live up to anyone's expectations. Pretty ballsy and also weird move to evoke Kubrick in a tent-pole monster movie

Doesn't totally suck, some of it is well done like I think they did a good job making you feel small compared to the monsters and feeling like a person in between the disasters would feel (at times). girl "lead" does a very good performance imo, guy lead sucks tho. I wouldn't recommend it but it's not a complete waste of time either.
