New teaser showing lots of new actiony footage, tagged cause there is a spoiler in thumbnail.

Saw a trailer for this on TV last night and thought the Godzilla FX looked awful.

Not sure if it's related to some sort of plot device, but we seem to have gone from the lumbering giant in the 2014 movie to him now jumping around like a tiger.

I agree. The CGI/effects people need to watch Godzilla-1.0 or any of the recent Planet of the Apes movies to see what realistic, quality effects look like.

Any indications whether or not this one will run 3D?

 

[Malcolm R]

Posters seem to include the RealD 3D logo, so I'd say yes, if your theater wants to offer it.

Coming to Cinemark Theaters

This looks like a disaster. And I’m a huge fan of both characters. But I’ll still be there opening day in IMAX.

The cost of the marketing campaign alone is probably enough to sink this thing!

The MonsterVerse movies just seem so dumb after Godzilla Minus One.

They showed two different trailers for this movie before my showing of Dune 2 this weekend. Got a sarcastic reaction from the audience.

Hmm... at the right age I probably would have been all over this, but I feel strangely indifferent. But then I missed the last couple of movies, so probably I need to see them to get into the mood.

Honestly, you might be better off not seeing them first!

The 4 WB "monsterverse" - or whatever they call it - movies have been wholly uninspiring, IMO.

Not terrible, and with some good moments, but underwhelming.

So it might be better to go into this one without that baggage!

I would rank them

King Kong vs Godzilla
Godzilla
Godzilla King Of The Monsters
*Root Canal*
Kong Skull Island

 

[Malcolm R]

I'd flip that list. I like Skull Island far more than any of the Godzilla-inclusive films. I wish they'd make another Kong solo film.

Though I don't recall much about KK vs. G. We actually started to watch it tonight as I thought I hadn't seen it yet, but the opening scenes seemed very familiar, so we ejected the disc and watched The Nun II instead.

 

[Joe Wong]

Skull Island is my favourite. Godzilla (2014) had a bad habit of switching away from the battle when Godzilla and the MUTOs were about to fight.

King Kong vs Godzilla
Godzilla
Godzilla King Of The Monsters
*Root Canal*
Kong Skull Island

"Skull Island" had one thing going for it: John C. Reilly.

He gave that movie a massive boost.

It's still not a good film, but at least he added some heart and personality to it.
