New Godzilla Toho Film
 

Looks like new toho godzilla films will be running side by side with the new Legendary era of Godzilla

now hoping for the gamera film to be good

Awesome I cant wait its going to take a long time for the next Legendary movie to come out so seeing the original handlers of Godzilla will be more then enough to tide me over. Sure they are pretty low budget then the Hollywood pictures and they use suites but I love those movies.

Fresh fandom wars will ignite over the alternatives on offer, but that's half the fun:)

I was seldomly excited until I saw the trailer. I had already seen the design and had mixed feelings but wow I'm sold. This isn't my favorite Godzilla design aesthetically since he looks terrifying and out of a horror movie. But that's great for what this is a movie where Godzilla is scary, I mean I can't think of a single movie where I legit thought he freaked me out attacking the city. At this point I don't even care for the new American Godzilla, the 2014 movie was definitely disappointing, I have no desire to really watch it again and the sequel shoving in more than 1 monster and one of them being King Ghidorah doesn't get me to excited and neither does the Kong sharing universe with the new American Godzilla.

Not big on the Godzilla design.

New design is fine but his arms are too small. I know T-rex (real dino) had small arms but it's just kinda odd here. His legs/hips have always been too big imo.

Absolutely in love with that trailer. If anyone else here also posts on Toho Kingdom (terrible forum but about the only active giant monster game in town), I've been giving it a lot of praise there as well.

Some reservations about the human shots, but stylistically it's completely exceeded my expectations.

I was also veeeeery lukewarm on the 2014 movie, and that might be generous.

Too much tail, not enough arm. But I love the design otherwise, it's so demonic, truly worthy of fear. Looks to be a dope movie! I'm psyched to see Jun Kunimura is in it.

Jesus, I'm on board. I've been a huge Godzilla fan all of my life, and this is why.

Negatives:
-Arms and tail. That's about it.

Positives:
-Godzilla looks like a walking version of hell. This is absolutely ****ing FANTASTIC.

-It looks dark, just like the directors promised.

-The scale. The only movie that really did a good job depicting Godzilla's size was the '54 original. This makes him look gigantic and I love it.

-By Japanese standards, that CG is incredible.

What's going on with his tail? I know they made fun of US Godzilla for being too fat, but I'm not too sure this is a huge improvement.

The movie looks pretty cool otherwise – it’s about a million miles from Final Wars in tone by the looks.

I am interested.

Just How Tall IS the King of Monsters in ‘Godzilla: Resurgence’?

Why are his thighs so thick?

Godzillas thighs have been huge since the 80s.

I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about this one.

never skips leg day

If memory serves, the director of this film is Hideaki Anno, who is best known for "Evangelion."

Yep! That's what I'm excited about. EVA had cool monster designs as well.

They're killing it with crossover merch. I'd love to see something like it happen in a video feature.

Some examples.

NECA also revealed a figure that I'll be picking up when it releases next year. I'd love to get EVAzilla but it's probably out of my price range atm.

Well we know anno is a toku fan. Evangel ion is filled with ultraman stuff

movie was great go see it!

saw the film yesterday, really enjoyed it.

Kamata-kun was adorable.

Also, Anime Godzilla (finally) film will be coming out next year. it will be done by Gen Urobutcher (Madoka Magica, Kamen Rider Gaim, and Thunderbolt Fantasy)

awesome... my bro loved it i was surprised because he was reluctant to go at first...

i'm contemplating seeing it again...

might be my first bluray purchase!

haha peace

Just realized that I never posted my thoughts on this movie. Eh, late is better than never, right?
I'm not a big fan of Godzilla, but I've always liked him. I've read some of his comics, I know some of his history, and I have fond memories of watching old Godzilla movies as a little kid, and this movie certainly took me back to those times. The newest U.S. 'Zilla movie was good in its own right, but didn't really have that Godzilla movie "feel", mostly because it didn't come from Toho, it came from some other company. That alone contributed to this movie feeling more legitimate. Also the fact that an actual person acted as Godzilla. While it wasn't a guy in a suit, which is disappointing, motion capture along with CGI and puppetry made for a classic feeling Godzilla. Godzilla's design itself is stunning, a truly terrifying looking creature that provides plenty of menace. I loved the evolving angle of Godzilla, it added so much to the film, making everything that the humans try to do seem hopeless. Here we have an enormous monster that is constantly evolving, adapting to everything they throw at him, things couldn't be worse for Japan, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Godzilla's atomic breath was breathtaking (pun not intended), and made for my favorite scene in the movie. The way they defeated Gojira might've seemed silly to some, but the original films were too, so I liked it. The final shot of the movie, focusing on Godzilla's tail, was pretty deep. Godzilla, always evolving through whatever they throw at him, attempted to evolve one last time before his defeat, evolving into the one thing that defeated him: man. I hope this gets touched upon if they decide to make a sequel. Overall a fantastic movie that I seriously recommend.

Makes sense, considering that evolution would've probably dominated mankind, and he'd certainly would've wanted to keep procreating.

I managed to see one of the few screenings in my area, and seriously lamented that I wasn't able to make another showing. I'm dying for this one on blu-ray. I liked it at least as much as the original.

Yeah, we will probably be waiting until the fall. Japan will probably release their copies and then ask funimation to wait so that they can make sure to get their sells.

So that Godzilla is a Hermaphrodite then.

I just watched the movie and it's amazing, right from the start it's amazing, and the trailer didn't dissapoint as it delivered exactly what I wanted. When it comes to Godzilla there is one simple fact, the movies that only have him as the main threat are the best, this is exactly what I wanted from Godzilla 2014 which I thought was ok when I watched it but now I can say it was a big disappointment, I even passed watching it in theaters a second time for free and I'm sure if I'd liked it I would've done it, even The Force Awakens which I did not like I was willing to see it again when it was free.

They were able to make a giant mosnter in a city menacing something that is almost impossible in today's age. I felt bad for Godzilla and also for the people of Japan. One thing I did notice is the lack of people dying, sure some people die and no I didn't expect to see tons of people dying on screen but some acknowledgement of "thousands have died", the way they avoided things like that made it seem a "good thing they had a parachute" level of censoring.

YESS!!!
We need more of these films! Bring on more Shin Godzilla! :D

Will it be a sequel to Shin Gojira or just another movie though, the article states and translates as a sequel to Shin Gojira but then again that same article falsely reports a new Netflix series which is only a movie and one that was produced before Netflix was even in the equation.

I don't know if I'd want a sequel to Shin or for them to do their own things like the millenium series. I feel a sequel as awesome as it would be would just not be necessary in that universe. I think I'd rather have a bunch of different takes.

Well, if it is a sequel and they have him fight other monsters, hopefully they can make it work. Problem with the suit is it seemed to be the least mobile godzilla suit to date, even. worst than Heisei films (which just became beam struggles because of suits)

That Netflix movie would be this

So was the Matthew Broderick one.

‘Shin Godzilla’ Sequel Cannot Be Made Until After 2020
http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/34...not-made-2020/

not surprising at all. Especially considering that on the plate we have the godzilla anime film as well as Godzilla 2 and Kong vs Godzilla. You don't want them to interfere with one another.
