Yup, that's the ugliest Godzilla suit I have ever seen. Jesus Christ, it's hideous.
And what's up with that giant tail?! Godzilla always had a long tail, but never was it almost bigger than the main boy. Looks awful. So yeah, as far as design goes the Legendary Godzilla wins. Don't know if I even want to watch this movie to be honest... which is sad because I freakin' love Japanese Godzilla movies. But this looks really bad so far, the rest of the trailer wasn't very interesting either. |

Well that's certainly a thing. I dunno, it just seem sort of there... I don't have strong feeling towards this one way or the other. Godzilla's design still looks like someone really liked Burning Godzilla and wanted to mix it with the G-virus from Resident Evil. I think they're going for a Hibakusha thing, which makes sense, but I don't care much for the execution. I also still think they're trying way too hard with those teeth. When his mouth is closed it looks fine, pretty damn intimidating. But when it's open? Especially the close up at the beginning- it looks dopey as hell. Like Ojiisan Godzilla lost his denchers and bit into the world's largest cactus.
I do like all the ground level stuff, seeing all the horrible destruction and truly catastrophic results of Godzilla. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of that. Also looks like there's going to be a lot of focus on human drama, even outside of the stuff dealing with Goji. So... yeah. Kinda middling here. |

I get what they're going for with that design, but it just isn't working for me. The shortened snout with a lot of teeth isn't really something I'm into, the tail is too damn long, and while Godzilla's arms have basically always been short, they look a little too noticeably short and too skinny for the body size. I'm also not really big on the burning Godzilla look.
I like the street shots, though. Monster movies with street shots tend to focus on the people reacting to the monster, rather than focusing on the scale and destruction of the monster itself. But this Godzilla just doesn't look to hot.

I'm very hype up for the movie. The movie looks really good. I really like the darker feeling of the trailer and the special effects look really good. Godzilla himself looks scary as hell.

At first I was like "Seems like a teaser for a Godzilla film." Then when I saw his suit I just could not stop laughing. The tail is so long and his arms look too small and when he opens his mouth it just did not look that great. Then the shot with the explosions and the camera panning up, his smile just made me laugh more. The city destruction looked pretty good and the civilian scenes look okay.
The only other Godzilla film I had seen was the 2014 film so I am not the best person to judge this trailer on. I was hoping that this film could introduce me to the Japanese side of Godzilla, but this looks like Godzilla should be serious and his suit just failed at it. |

I just think Godzilla standing there, wagging his tail in the middle of the city with a stupid grin on his face is so dumb. Like, "oh no! This giant radioactive terror! He's going to destroy the city!... probably. Right now he hasn't moved much."
I'm probably entirely wrong, but I have a feeling this could be sort of a red herring. That they're presenting this charred monstrosity as "the new, gritty Toho Godzilla" but in reality, it's just a disfigured imitator, and the REAL Godzilla is gonna show up to kick its ass by the end of the movie. Maybe that's just wishful thinking. Lol. |
