I wish i could too, fucking hate 3D, worst feature ever.

Too bad in my location they will only show it in 3D...

Another reason why 3D needs to die.

 

[Cindres]

Damn, I was hoping the title was going to be; Godzilla |OT| I Am The One Who Knocks... Down Buildings. or Let Them Fight.

Either way, this is going to be AWESOME. I'm going next Friday for a mate's birthday. HYPE.

At the official site http://godzillamovie.com/ you can make your own wallpaper. One of the pictures you can use is this

What does it say? i know the first three signs spell out GODZILLA, but what about the last two?

It says banzai. Kind of a famous word. Like a cry of celebration I guess.

 

[Expendable.]

In case you missed it, this is most well-constructed, entertaining blockbuster in years.

My spoiler-free review should be up early tomorrow morning, unless the embargo breaks early!

GAF EXCLUSIVE:

With ballooning budgets, waning attention spans and constant pressure to deliver the best (or rather the most) CGI, Hollywood’s contemporary crux on throwing everything at the screen for as much of the runtime as possible has led to an inundation of watered-down, homogeneous tent-poles. While this regrettable trend will undoubtedly persist due to reciprocating box-office receipts, Gareth Edwards delivers a riveting breath of fresh air with Godzilla.

A reboot of the same property that was last grossly mishandled less than two decades ago by Roland Emmerich does not seem like the finest starting point for a creative bout of originality. However, the British director effectively takes the world and character-building skills he learned on the miniscule-budgeted Monsters and expands them to a nearly unfathomable multiple with this $160 million production.

 

[Messofanego]

I cannot wait to see this, I've been hyped since the first trailer.

What's the whole "I am death, destroyer of worlds" thing all about?

It's right in the OP lol. Oppenheimer quoted a bit from a Sanskrit text (Bhagavad Gita) when he saw the first nuclear test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26YLehuMydo

You folks should watch the mini Godzilla BTS that talks about the 3D conversion. Pretty exciting. Hooefully someone links the YT vid because I can't on the Vita.

Edit: When the director says the 3D shots look the best they've ever looked and wanted the premier to be in 3D, you know it's got to be good.

 

[faridmon]

I really hope this isn't another case of Pacific Rim. I really hope its not.

I am salivating. Thanks! Can't wait to read it. =)

I'm a firm opponent of 3D. Never liked it and probably never will. Don't care for it.

Well, I'm convinced.

 

[Jedi2016]

Some of my friends get headaches with 3D, so we'll probably end up seeing this one in 2D. But I'll pick up the 3D Blu-ray later on, regardless.

OT is AWESOME, good sir. Love it.

 

[Expendable.]

As a disclaimer, I haven't really taken to anything Marvel post-Captain America, wasn't a big fan of Skyfall nor TDKR.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Boy, I really hope this movie kicks ass, my expectations are well beyond the ceiling.

 

[Formless]

Watched the original in preparation. What are some other good ones to watch?

 

[SpaceBridge]

Watched the original in preparation. What are some other good ones to watch?

Watch the direct sequel: Godzilla 1985.

 

[obin_gam]

Watched the original in preparation. What are some other good ones to watch?

Watch the direct sequel: Godzilla 1985.

Then watch the rest of the Heise series (You dont need to watch them in this order, just make sure you watch Destroyah last):
Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 2
Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

 

[munchie64]

And then watch Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.

It's awesome.

 

[ACESmkII]

I am so so hyped. I got IMAX 3d tickets for thursday.

Just a few more days.

 

[MickeyPhree]

Won't be able to see it till Saturday. But I got my tix reserved at least.

Reserved seating upstairs with spread out seats, blankets, pillows, and a full liquor bar. No one under 21 allowed

 

[Raptor]

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

[Testicular Sound Express]

I'm so ready for this.

omg, im fucking dying right now. LMFAO

 

[MegalonJJ]

Another reason why 3D needs to die.

This. (Especially post converted 3D).

Booked tickets for a 2D + Dolby Atmos screening! Looking forward to it.

This person knows what's up. Plus having a hilarious Godzilla avatar for as long as I can remember.

Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah

Those are all good, except Biollante.

 

[Expendable.]

I remember in the other thread Expendable said the embargo is up today sometime (it's the 10th on the east coast right now). I can't wait to see the reviews start coming in.

I believe it's 1am EST tonight/early tomorrow.

 

[teiresias]

I quite like the 98 design personally

The movie itself was an abomination however...

I honestly like it too if they'd only made him on a bigger scale. Like you said though the film is crap.

This month is packed with movies to see. I haven't had a summer with this much content I'm interested in seeing for a long while.

 

[The Librarian]

Those are all good, except Biollante.

I'll add: Godzilla vs. Megaguirus and Godzilla 2000.

They may or may not be bad, but in that case, they're so bad they're GREAT. The former, for example, has this legendary line of dialogue: "This place is the pits!"

 

[JdFoX187]

Those are all good, except Biollante.

Godzilla vs. Biollante is one of the objectively better Heisei movies. It still doesn't compare to Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah in sheer spectacle, though.

 

[industrian]

Godzilla kicks off three consecutive weeks of movies I want to see being released:

Godzilla, then a week later X:Men, then a week later Edge of Tomorrow.

It's a good month for movies.

 

[1138]

The movie has its premiere here in 2 hours and there is still tickets available. Worth to go even if its in3d?

 

[obin_gam]

Those are all good, except Biollante.

I would tend to agree. But Biollante was the first ever Godzilla movie I saw so it will always have a special place in my hart :3

 

[Cow Mengde]

 

[Corpsepyre]

When are the reviews coming out again?

 

[Expendable.]

When are the reviews coming out again?

Look about five posts up.

 

[Cow Mengde]

I think they should be coming today.

 

[Blader]

Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 2
Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

You kind of do; there's an actual continuity that runs through them.

That said, the only Heisei movies worth watching are 1985, Mechagodzilla, and Destroyah. The rest are bad or, at best, extremely uneven.

Is there? I have never noticed... I take it it's one of the human characters?

Biollantes death scene really ruined it for me. If you've watched it, you know what I mean.

 

[Blablurn]

awww yiss

 

[Amalthea]

Biollantes death scene really ruined it for me. If you've watched it, you know what I mean.

If they would kept the face of the girl outta it then the scene would've been a lot less corny.

 

[SillyEskimo]

Next Saturday I'm taking my Father-in-law, my Stepfather, and my adopted brother to see this. We all love Godzilla and are geeked to be seeing this in all it's Imax 3D glory.

No women allowed on this trip.

Heh. Having a girls' afternoon out with two of my friends. Lunch then Godzilla.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I'm shaking already

Watching the extended look trailer makes me breathe abnormally

I should stop watching it

I think this had one of the best Godzilla suits, as well.

Just as I expected, but I'm glad to hear it nonetheless.
