Wow. Your 9th post. And you've been a member for 12 years.

I am hearing that they didn't want to pay for the rights to any other monsters besides the G-man himself.

I does in some trailer shots. I guess some fans have quipped that it's "Fauxdan" as a result.

Super X

I don't know, Japanese Godzilla could have laid off the 6-packs a bit himself.

Mr. Cinema

I'm guessing we'll start getting some reviews this week. Bryan Cranston will be on The Tonight Show tonight.

Shannon Nutt

Rumor is - and I'm not spoilering this, since I don't really think it's a spoiler - that Godzilla actually appears on screen very little in the movie until late in the film. They apparently took the JAWS and ALIEN approach to the monster. I kind of like that approach, but in today's world where moviegoers demand more, who knows if that will work?

Solid Snake

I think I heard that the reviews can be released on the 10th.

Tom Creo

If the story and suspense is half as good as those films I'll be one happy moviegoer. Doesn't matter how much G is in this, as long as he's majestic.

I've read that, aside from one brief appearance, he doesn't really show up until around 45-60 min. into the 123 min. movie. After that, there are money shots galore that marketing, so far, has resisted showing. I'm willing to bet by the time credits are rolling people will be satisfied.

Mr. Cinema

I'm fine with him not being fully revealed until 45-60 minutes in. It gives us a chance to focus on the excellent cast while we wait for monster carnage. If the 123 minute runtime is true, then the film will be about 115 minutes minus a lengthy credit list. 50-60 minutes of monster fighting is plenty.

Solid Snake

Yeah. I think the film may hold off on splashing him across the whole thing but once he's out... The fucker is there prominently. Otherwise... It's not a G film. He's not Jaws. He's G.

resinrats

Well that's sort of how the Japanese Godzilla films went. G hardly shows up in the 1st half of the movie. Just people talking mainly.

Tom Creo

I wonder if there is a between/after credit scene.

E Unit

With Samuel L. Jackson making no doubt.

RichC2

That sounds about right for this kind of movie though, wasn't it like 90 minutes before King Kong showed up in the 2005 remake?

islandclaws

Edwards has said there isn't, and early screenings have confirmed that.

You could have practically watched the entire '33 film before seeing Kong once in the new one.

Does Godzilla really snack on cars or anything else while rampaging?

Ash Ketchum

Well, he's more likely to peel them open first before snacking on the insides.

TomOpus

So the best shots of G are from a commercial. F U Fiat.

Jory

No, that's just stupid.

Everyone knows Godzilla eats at Taco Bell.

Traxan

Who the fuck directed that stupidity? Roland Emmerich?

story

Glad the people in the yellow car didn't get eaten alive.

Too bad about the red car driver...

But, oh well! Buy this car!

hanshotfirst1138

That's fine just as long as the story and characters are actually interesting.

The entire soundtrack is up on Spotify.

I'm on my second listen and it's good, not great. Some nice use of Japanese instrumentation, lots of minor tonalities, but it also feels like a very traditional blockbuster action score. Some nice subtle moments in there, though. There's no comparison to the classic scores this series has seen, however, and Desplat's work is only better than most of the Millennium Series scores.
