I'm sold, definitely. But some of the CG looked kinda bogus? Statue of liberty and the battle-ships especially. That being said, I really look forward to this. Fuck trailers but this one got me psyched.

Really, it had great atmosphere and tension for a teaser trailer, but the bits of action were nothing special, a few planes getting knocked around, some destruction that had already happened. The acting and plot pretty much seem cheesy as fuck, although that could work if they are doing it in a smart and purposeful way, but I doubt it. The glimpse of Godzilla was dubious IMO, not really sure I dig that head at all. Still feels like the most novel thing about it is using the original Godzilla roar sound effect.

That Statue of Liberty threw me at first too, until I realized it was the one in Vegas at that theme hotel, and it looks pretty damn close to that.

When will we learn that there's no point in us firing small arms at a monster like that? Esp after nukes apparently did not work.
What we need is some giant robots controlled by two mind-melded people (but don't use your sword unless it's a last resort).
P.S. This looks good, plus I'll watch anything with BC for his performance.

Man love that foreshadowing scene. Easy to miss at first. The scene with Cranston standing at the balcony looking at a city destroyed, you see 3 blurry paper cranes floating just above the city like they were the ones that destroyed it and fit to scale.

Didn't even occur to me it wasn't rated yet.
I'm not sure you need an R rating here, yeah? The body count and death is kinda more implied than graphic. I don't recall ever seeing horrific death in a Godzilla movie and it never took away from it. I don't see a need for boobs in Godzilla either...
Unless it is hot Biollante, who will probably be saved for the sequel anyways.

What the hell do you expect them to show to improve it? Tits? Godzilla literally eviscerating children? Its just a destruction porn monster movie.

you are a weirdo. you dont need excessive gore and sex to get an R Rating. violence and profanity alone do the trick. think die hard with a 30 story lizard.

You are a dumbass. How are you as old as me and this dense. Its a fucking special effects vehicle opening at the beginning ofsummer fucking blockbuster season!This movie is about one thing, and one thing only. Making giant piles of money. They want to maximize audience and ticket sales. They want it to be friendly to 7-11 and soft drink endorsements. They do NOT want to literally keep 50-75% of middle American parents from bringing their 8-10 year old kids to this thing. It will be just adult enough to cast broad appeal and just tame enough not to exclude pre-teens.
Damn we go through this every fucking summer and some of you get fooled repeatedly. Then it will launch and people will be back here like "it was ok but it didn't really cater to the inner nerdy child in me who loved the quirky campy Japanese originals"....well no fucking shit?

Uh, Die Hard had plenty of blood and obvious gunshot wounds, so that's a pretty terrible example but it's you so stupidity is expected. The violence in PG-13 movies is always very sanitized.

this is what i meant.. pg 13 violence always feels like they are holding back. the only pg 13 film i ever saw that wasnt like that was indiana jones and temple of doom. that shit was insane.

Temple of Doom was PG, it was one of the reasons the PG-13 rating was created.
And really it was just two things, the ripping out of the heart, and the gross-out scene with the monkey brains and the eyeball soup. The latter of which seems impossibly tame now. The heart seemed a bit hardcore for PG at the time, I'm not even sure it would be today. Nothing else in the movie is any worse than anything in Raiders. Hell, just the face melting during the Raiders finale is as bad as any part of Doom.

you forgot the dude getting his turban stuck in a roller and being smushed alive , the flaming shishkebob indy chucked at that jap and the crocs eating those dudes alive. the heart ripping scene is more intense than anything you see today in a pg13. mostly because it was done pre cgi so it looked a lot more realistic.
