And didn't we see Anguirus in an earlier trailer?

Somehow this looks fakey-er than the previous trailer. Is that because the audiences have seen more of the classic Kaiju films and expect a little "model railroad getting crushed by guys in rubber suits" look to these films?

Don't get me wrong, I loved 'em back in the day, but that Rodan fly-by looked kind of... bad.

I stopped caring after "whatever it is they're guarding so carefully." As far as I know, Godzilla was awakened by Nuclear a-bombs and stuff and was never a military secret. That whole theme is pretty played out. Oh no! Mr. President McWhatchumacalit didn't INFORM the people that.. shit this is gonna suck.

I watched Gojira yesterday, as well as the MST3K with Godzilla, Jet Jaguar, and the WWF match of monsters.

This trailer is not remotely close to the quality of either movie. It looks like Asylum tried to make a Pacific Rim knockoff.

Should'a been Baragon.

What, no Minilla?

NOT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY!!! Now it's PERSONAL.

*locks and loads*

Personally I think they should have gone in another direction, with a story along the lines of that Joe Lansdale's short story "Godzilla's Twelve Step Program"

http://www.revolutionsf.com/fiction/godzilla/01.html

"Saturday, Godzilla goes to the beach. A drunk monster that looks like a big turtle flies by and bumps Godzilla. The turtle calls Godzilla a name, looking for a fight. Godzilla remembers the turtle is called Gamera.

Gamera is always trouble. No one liked Gamera. The turtle was a real asshole.

Godzilla grits his teeth and holds back the flames. He turns his back and walks along the beach. He mutters a secret mantra given him by his sponsor. The giant turtle follows after, calling him names.

Godzilla packs up his beach stuff and goes home. At his back he hears the turtle, still cussing, still pushing. It's all he can do not to respond to the big dumb bastard. All he can do. He knows the turtle will be in the news tomorrow. He will have destroyed something, or will have been destroyed himself.

Godzilla thinks perhaps he should try and talk to the turtle, get him on the twelve-step program. That's what you're supposed to do. Help others. Maybe the turtle could find some peace.

But then again, you can only help those who help themselves. Godzilla realizes he can not save all the monsters of the world. They have to make these decisions for themselves. But he makes a mental note to go armed with leaflets about the twelve-step program from now on.

Later, he calls in to his sponsor. Tells him he's had a bad day. That he wanted to burn buildings and fight the big turtle. Reptilicus tells him it's okay. He's had days like that. Will have days like that once again."

This is going to be the best movie of the summer you fucking bastards. I am not even watching the trailer because I don't want to spoil any more than I have already seen.

SO MANY STRONG FEELINGS TOWARDS A NUCLEAR DINOSAUR UP IN HERE

I kid, I myself am a little annoyed at all the trailer footage I've seen so far of Bland Army Guy and His Bland Girlfriend sighing desperately at each other. I didn't watch The Graduate to see kaijuu battle each other and destroy a metropolis or three, and I didn't watch Godzilla vs. the Hedorah to see humans trying to understand their own feelings and coming to terms with the end of innocence. But I will watch this and hope my annoyance is just for crappy trailer editing.

The more scary sound effects they add to the trailer, the worse the movie is going to be.

History shows again and again
How nature points up the follies of men
GODZILLA!
