Godzilla 2014 Teaser Trailer

I just watched the trailer and I just can't muster anything more than a "meh".

Okay the last godzilla effort was pretty bad, but this one just seems....I dunno. It's hard to make any kind of assumption from a short trailer, but I am baffled why it opens with soldiers being sent in by HALO jump for one thing.

I know they've said its grittier and darker, but every reboot seems to have those two words strapped onto it. That doesn't make it any better or an incentive to go see it.

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.

You make valid points....but it's still a new Godzilla movie.

In the trailer, those operators are doing a High Altitude Low Opening parachute jump which would be done as a stealth measure. So why do they have flares and red smoke? Other than it's a cool visual effect. Fuck it, I'm just going to overlook that - it's Godzilla, a movie about a giant irradiated reptile. And Matthew Broderick isn't starring in it.

I've never even seen the 90's version because Matthew Broderick did star in it.

I never watched any Godzilla movie and never intended to either.

The only reason why I could imagine watching this is because Mr. Cranston is part of it. I fucking love that guy!

So do I have to know the other movies to watch this?

I know, it's weird seeing him not cooking meth or manipulating somebody.

Not at all, though they are entertaining. This movie looks like it covers it.
 
There is a relation to the original movie from the 50's, but you don't have to watch all 100 movies that followed after that, because they all tell different stories. Sometimes Godzi is a bad guy and sometimes he saves the world from other monsters.

Oh my dear young man. Zilla is a cinematic icon. Bryan Cranston is...2 or 3 TV shows. That's like watching... I can't even find a comparison. Get some culture and watch those movies. You may change your handle Vanilla to Vanzilla.
