    WOW! And, in case I didn't make myself clear... WOW!

    ps: Wow!

    Yeah this is looking damn good. I hope the final film lives up to the hype and the trailers (e.g. the characters).

    Definitely looking pretty good by the trailers. Bryan Cranston is also a major plus. Oh...and Frank Darabont rewrites.

    We just might have the Godzilla reboot we've always wanted...

    Well.....we definitely need something good to clear our minds of the Matthew Broderick film from the nineties, I'll put it that way.

    Hells-to-the-mother-effing-yes. As I said in the shoutbox, it's looking like Big G is finally getting the film, & the respect, that he deserves.

    One o' de critters he'll be fighting. So far they've leaked the fact that G DOES get to fight other kaiju, called "Mutos":

    The world's most famous monster is pitted against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity's scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.
    Google up "Muto" or "M.U.T.O." & you'll get some interesting results.

    Damn, I haven't even seen this movie and it's already boring the crap out of me.

    What is it about the trailers that you find boring? Even if the movie isn't very good, I think they've done a fantastic job with the marketing. Just not a fan of Godzilla/giant monster movies?

    Looks OK. I will see it in the theathers, tho, but I actually kind of liked the '98 version.

    It's an ok "generic" giant monster flick...but it's not a Godzilla movie. They missed the mark so badly Toho had to scrap their plans to let the Americans be the caretakers of the franchise from that point on & go back into production themselves, thus Gojira:Millenium (aka Godzilla 2000 here in the west).

    ***

    If any of you are fans of the genre, take a look at "Godzilla: Final Wars", in which the King puts his smack on the american version (called "Zilla" here), among others, in his worldwide tour of destruction.

    The fact that I can't remember one thing about it already. Nothing stuck with me from it and I've already seen it a few times.

    Yeah, to be fair, I find them pretty boring from go. They were great when I was a kid and WPIX 11 would run their Summer marathon, but now I'd rather read wikipedia articles about the films and how they were made (I've actually done this before), as I find that much more fascinating than the notion of another forced modern retread.
