Godzilla Full Trailer Is Finally Revealed

​

The full-on Godzilla trailer teases a dark twist on the most famous monster to stomp out of the sea.

I can't say I was too impressed with the initial Godzilla teaser [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/130405-Godzilla-Trailer-Stomps-the-Tubes], although it did afford me the opportunity to make a Godzookie joke, which is always appreciated. But now the full trailer is here, and my mind is changed. Dramatically changed.

I'm no fan of generic disaster flicks, but there's something about this that looks different. Sure, there are plenty of special effects and things blowing up, trashed cityscapes and all the rest, but the "humanity will triumph" theme so prevalent in these things just isn't there. Maybe it's Bryan Cranston bringing some added gravitas to the table; whatever the reason, it's a lot less "we shall overcome" and a lot more "God help us, because we are SO screwed."

A good trailer does not a good movie make (I was very impressed with the first John Carter teaser [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/111669-John-Carters-Mars-Isnt-As-Red-As-Youd-Expect] and we all know how that turned out) but this is a very promising development. Hope the big fella lives up to his billing.

Godzilla hits theaters on May 16.

Why the stupid Transformer/Reaper dubstep beats? WHY!? Are those supposed to be what Godzilla's farts sound like?!

 

[Nooners]

They really are being careful with not giving us that big money shot of the 'zilla this time, aren't they?

Well, that's what I want to see, so I guess I'm still interested, for now at least.

The only word I have to sum this up is "meh". Just looks like another big, epic, brooding piece of shit. I'm not sure why but it totally reminds me of World War Z (and I wouldn't really call that a good thing).

I liked that movie...

Unpopular opinion: That movie is seriously underrated.

OT: So, it looks like it might actually be a true sequel to the original 1954 movie instead of a remake, that's good. And is seems like it will be more than a typical disaster porn movie. Color me hopeful.

Yup I am now looking forward to seeing this film! I loved the feeling/ tone of the trailer (so much fear). God I can only imagine hearing that roar in the cinema surround sound! I may go deaf!

 

[MCerberus]

I just got a whole lot of "Action movie paint by numbers" from that.

Blue/orange contrast shots, yelling vague dude yelling about doom, weird dramatic sound effects.

I SAY MEH AT YOU!

 

[IllumInaTIma]

I just love how they try to show more like a natural disaster than just some giant monster. If they keep it up in movie I'm gonna be very happy.

 

[JagermanXcell]

Minus the stereotypical trailer with fade ins, out's and long WUUUUUUUUUUBS, I'm hoping this movie will finally do Godzilla justice.

...Only because I really want to see him go toe to toe with Guillermo Del Toro's Jagers. I CAN DREAM CAN I?!

Modern movie trailers 101: Include at least one BWAAAAAAAA.

I'm still on the fence about this one, I doubt I'll go see it in the cinema unless it gets some spectacular reviews but it still seems like a better offering than the previous Godzilla movie.

Discount Inception music to start off with and then a man claiming that someone is 'hiding something'. I really hope that this isn't another super stealthy Godzilla as the trailer seems to be implying. Also, I was half expecting Raptors to jump out at the soldiers at around the 55 second mark.

 

[IndomitableSam]

It looks like a lot of fun. And that's all I want my movies to be. I'm not too finicky about adaptations or remakes or any of that. If it's fun, all is good.

And this looks like plain and simple fun.

when i went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaoug, they showed the first trailer at the theater if you saw the movie in IMAX, of which i did. afterwards my ears were bleeding, is that a good sign? by the way IMAX surround sound quality is MUCH better than your standard screening, btw PacRim was awesome because of it, every step of the Jeagers and the kaiju could be felt in my chest, and so did the roars.

 

[Absimilliard]

I mean, it looks ok, and I will check it out, but a voice in my head keeps asking why they've made a full movie out of the first two minutes of Pacific Rim...
(I am actually quite familiar with the franchise and its history, but the industry changes.)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think of Jurassic Park. "Clever Girl."

 

[Nokturos]

Looks great, but it's too early to tell, really.

Just hoping this won't suck as bad as Pacific Rim.
