Walter White + Godzilla = Awesome.

The two teaser trailers prior haven’t given us much in terms of actual story, dialogue, or the big green lizard himself, but this trailer definitely changes all that. And I absolutely cannot wait. Everything about this movie looks pitch-perfect, from the effects to the phenomenal cast. It’s about time we get a great Godzilla movie, and hopefully this is it.

With a script by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Walking Dead), starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, and David Strathairn, Godzilla hits theaters in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D on May 16…

OMFG

This doesn't happen often when I watch movie trailers, but I definitely got goose bumps from this trailer. It looks absolutely fantastic.

Wow that looks awesome.

Btw, this looks to actually be a direct sequel to the original version. Interesting choice.

Also of note... the various glimpses at OTHER giant monsters.

Sequel to the original 60 yr/old one or the 98 one(gag)?

"Original" = first. The one from the '50s.

Very cool bonus - first track from the soundtrack released.

i am very happy they look to be letting Cranston do his Cranston thing, rather than just ringfencing him for a 'big' name splash

i will say the CG looked a little CG for me. i guess i have super high expectations for CG nowadays, and i'm ok with Pacific Rim looking "cartoony" due to the style/content of the movie. But i was hoping this one would be a bit grittier or something, and the CG has a very clean feel to it.

that being said, this is definitely climbing the list of most anticipated.

On second viewing, I'm in agreement with you about the CG. The CG design is amazing, but the execution looks like something that's maybe only 90% complete. Maybe it is, who knows. Either way, I've noticed similar CG on a computer monitor before that ends up looking way better when projected. Something like World War Z comes to mind.

to be honest, the visual effects company on this movie Amalgamated Dynamics, i've never been impressed. look at their resume, they were cutting edge (Startship Troopers, Jumanji, Hollow Man) back in the day

but they've not kept up with the times recently

The Thing (remake), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (eek), Stealth, Aliens vs. Predator

so, i hope that Edwards gets the best out of them, esepcially since he started out as a visual effects guy

Man I wish I shared you guys excitement. It looks pretty "meh" to me, but to be fair I am pretty critical of flicks like these.

Not a huge fan of monster movies, but the writing doesn't seem horrible.

I feel the same way, Barry. Was expecting to see monster on monster battles and big-time full monster shots. Not to say those won't be in the actual film, but that didn't strike me as anything more pronounced than trailers I've seen for the 1998 Godzilla or any of the Jurassic Park films.

On a positive, it looked about 50,000 times better than the Spiderman trailer I watched earlier.

Looks like I'll have to watch the original Godzilla for the first time.

Agree that the CG is iffy at times. Hopefully there's more polish on the way.

I noticed those glimpses of other monsters. I wonder how many we can expect? I'll probably avoid all updates on this movie now to make sure I go in spoiler-free.

I haven't seen anymore than this trailer but I bet I could tell you the basic plot of the movie, how it begins, the climax and then the ending. I don't think there will be too much "spoiling" going on with this type of flick.

I doubt I'll see it in the theater but it does look pretty cool.

ok. I'm in.

Here's a link to a gif of one of the other monsters.

maybe it's me being a Chris Nolan fanboy but I think Ken Watanabe is a fantastic actor, dude needs to get more roles than just "we need some Japanese guy".

All the cars stopped around the highway intersection.... my worst nightmare.

Looks pretty damn good.

Cool.

I'm looking forward to the movie but the trailer didn't do much for me.
