First look at new Godzilla (2014) at SDCC

Also, there were many statues etc. before that part of the en encounter, and some are believed to be based on the new design, perhaps early versions:

Looks closer to old-school Godzilla, and less like the overgrown T-Rex version from the 90's.

I liked the overgrown T-Rex version. I also loved the camp of that movie, such as the Ebert/Siskel parody and the stupid reporter fighting. The fact that they blamed it all on the French Government's nuclear testing was just a hilarious take on the original premise. I watched it again during the years when the Bush government was contending with France (the era when some congressman wanted to rename "French Fries" to "Freedom Fries"), and I wondered how much better the film would have been received if it had just been released a few years later with the new political climate. Either way it was comically stupid, and enhanced my enjoyment of the film.

It was something of a "so bad it's good" film for me.

Thank GOD

I wonder how Legendary and Warner feel about this now after Pacific Rim pulled a John Carter.

"The fish! They've eaten all the fish!"

I think a bulky, clumsy 'Zilla would've heightened the comedy value of that movie even more.  The overgrown T-Rex version was a little too nimble for me.

yah, i liked that movie too. in fact, i don't think i've seen a godzilla movie that i haven't liked

hopefully this new one doesn't take itself too seriously

Everybody likes Emmerich's Godzilla, but few are brave enough to admit it.

And that is amazing. Let's hope this movie turns out to be really good so they can bring sequels with Anguirus, Mothra and King Ghidorah :P

i don't know if the giant monster genre can ever beat Big Man Japan.

check this out.

After Pacific Rim there is nothing these guys could do to impress me at this point.

Unless we have poorly dubbed japanese dudes running around and a man in a suit destroying an obvious model city, it's going to be a try-hard monster flick that I don't care about.

There's already going to be at least two monsters in the movie, in addition to Godzilla.

There are going to be a lot more monsters.

I only liked the characters in that movie. Almost all monsters sucked and the robots didn't do shit - except when that one pulled a sword out of its ass. Man of Steel had way better action and destruction.

Disappointment of the decade.

Pretty good but I dont reslly like the look of his spines.

excellent; out of the ones i've seen, the '54 film is my favourite

[QUOTE="rocinante_"]

[QUOTE="Hallenbeck77"] The producers stated that the tone would be closer to the 1954 original film. It'll be interesting to see what it'll look likeHallenbeck77

Wow, that's a great design for him. I just hope it doesn't have a story so the people in this thread that didn't like Pacific Rim will like it. Yeah..not enough destruction, there was too much of a well thought out story, plot, and character development that got in the way of the AWEESSOME MONSTEEWWSS and WOBOTS!...disgusting.. MickeyTheNinja

Pacific Rim has no well thought out story and plot. It's horrible. It did have likeable characters though, can't remember the last move that had so many of them.

It only has one genuinely cool kaiju, plus one that's obviously a giant version of those Pitch Black aliens and is in the movie for about seven seconds.

It technically has a couple of cool robots, but they are on screen for about two minutes and we're left with generic giant Power Ranger robot dude. Can't have a three-armed robot stomp around and do karate moves, it might alienate the public!

The good thing about PR is that it made me way more interested in Godzilla 2014 than before. It's a massive tease and I need something to deliver what it promised.

I had a dream two nights ago about seeing the trailer for it but then I woke up :(

Looks like one weak ass Kaiju.

its been so long since WB picked up the rights (think like 3 years). I hope they show a trailer soon with comic con around the corner..

Agreed completely. 

That said, I'm still super stoked to see them go back to the old school Godzilla. I'm hoping for a Jet Jaguar cameo appearance. Complete with theme song.

though I would be dissapointed if its teaser with lot of nothing going on. a trailer similar to the tdkr back in 2011 would be ok though.

Looks very promising, the director and producers are very talented and I have faith that this will turn out well.

NICE! looks like 84' godzilla

My first thought was Mothra, since for some strange reason was a hit. Hoping that's not the case. I don't need any CG big ass moth :P
