Also, as someone who is so utterly bored with CGI effects, I prefer not to see him all too much this time around.
Sorry, but that I'm going to have to disagree with. I expect to see giant monsters destroying cities in my Godzilla movies. If I don't get that, then it isn't a good Godzilla movie.

I agree with PkMstr, Cloverfield tried to do this and that movie sucked.

If they do it in the first portion of the movie, like the original movie did, I am okay with that. However, once we hit the hour point, I better be seeing giant ****ing monsters duking it out with one another.

Agreed.One thing this movie has over Cloverfield already is no stupid shaky cam first person view.

I'm actually most afraid that they'd keep the movie centered on the humans surviving/fighting Godzilla over Godzilla himself.

I know what they're trying to do, and it feels very Jaws-like in tone going solely off the trailer, but I'm gonna have to agree with what others have said. Even without the shaky cam, trying to go in a Cloverfield manner and putting the focus just on the humans would be very disappointing.

Not as impressed with this as I was with the comic con teaser. Suspense and surprise be dammed just show us Godzilla already WB.

Oh that I agree on too,but I trust Legendary studios. Whenever they design a creature,they definitely want to show it.

As a long time Godzilla fan this brings tears of joy and chills!

This is a monster movie. Not a suspense thriller.

Godzilla. NOT Cloverfield. NOT Super 8. Those movies were terrible.
I can understand not liking Cloverfield, that movie had a lot of problem...especially the ending.

But I can't agree with you on Super 8. It was an absolutely delightful return to the classic Steven Spielberg children's adventure film. Maybe I'm just biased on that having grown up watching ET and such, but, I loved every second of it.

CGI is just another tool that takes the same amount of effort and skill as any other visual of a movie, if not more. It takes animators animating by hand and direction to make any effects.

This bizzare mindset on CGI perplexes me. Nobody appreciates the craft of all aspects of movie visuals anymore.
I just think it's overused these days (ex. Blood Effects)...and I profoundly miss practical special effects, which as an artist, I can appreciate a bit more as a craft.

While I understand CGI does require a lot of work, I will always have a stronger appreciation for someone who took the time to build an animatronic, cast a mask, or use miniatures. It looks more real to me.

Yeah, well, I've been a Godzilla fan since I was 4 years old, going on 30 years now, so this one is a no brainer. Looks fantastic.
