So, no one is hyped for this at all? Or is everyone still burned by the '98 movie?

Godzilla vs. Blue Meth
I like that Godzilla looks (and sounds) more like the one from the 50s-70s, and less like a giant lizard like in the last movie. What would be really mind-shattering is if they made a sequel where the Pacific Rim bots fight Godzilla.
Ahh come on man, Bryan Cranston is so much more than Walter White.Originally Posted by Munsu

Your point?
No need to bring up WW or BB or blue meth.

I plan on going if I can find a group to go with. I don't do theaters by myself.
I grew up watching the old school Godzilla movies, so I'm pretty excited that this one is supposed to be similar.
We won't even talk about the Matthew Broderick monstrosity.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
Excellent argument.
If you really must pigeon-hole an actor/actress based on one role, that kinda sucks. He does come off as frantic Walt in some of the scenes in the trailer, but he still deserves some respect as a great actor.
But back to the topic, I like the inclusion of Godzilla's Japanese roots. Of course, it'll probably be a bunch of Koreans playing Japanese.

You're so off-base on what you're saying and in what you're interpreting from what I said that it's not even worth bothering about. I'll give you a hint, nothing of what I said has anything to do from what I perceived from Cranston's character or his acting, or anything that was found in the trailer or outside of it as far as this movie goes as it relates to that particular aspect.
I don't know, I'll give you a hint.. maybe I was giving homage and adding a bit of humor to the old Godzilla "vs" titles, based on the seemingly plot setup to make the Cranston's character into the hero that is our only hope to stop him.
But of course, I was obviously making a snide demeaning remark about Cranston, and his acting based on his most popular role by far (and I'm well aware that he's had other well known projects that I've actually watched), regardless of how long of an acting pedigree he has going for him.. I'll just have to remind myself not to make any Jack Bauer jokes in the future too or Dexter or... well I hope you get the idea.
A sense of humor might help.

If you had posted anything besides "Godzilla vs blue meth", I might have seen the humor. Whatever, back to the movie.

What`s wrong with the 90`s movie?

I was at first surprised about the changes, but I still think it was a good movie overall.

Peace.
I can't remember if I even saw the whole thing, that's how forgettable it was. The biggest problem was the departure from the classic Godzilla, turning it into more of a lizard/gator creature that a dinosaur. While this was more scientifically accurate, it went against the original design.

Do you mean that it is forgettable because of the monster design?
Peace.
Why can't you identify an actor with a character that he/she played? Specially if that actor didn't anything really remarkable other then that character and series/movie. What other things other then Breaking Bad have Bryan Cranston done that you guys have watched that make him a great actor deserving of such respect that you can't identify him as his most successful acting of his career? Would you even know who Bryan Cranston was if not for Breaking Bad?
All i have seen Bryan Cranston in that i could remember when i first watched BB was "Malcolm in the middle" and a returning episodes of "How i met your mother" as Hammond Druthers. And MITM wasn't even a show i followed. Total Recall remake was after BB. Other then that i couldn't recall anything of his. Not then when i first saw it and not now. For me he is Walter White. He will probably always be.
Some other actors that are far bigger and greater is identified as one of their characters. Munsu mentioned Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer. Hugh Laurie as House. Patrick Stewart as Picard, James Spader as Alan Shore, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy. It's not a bad thing. It means they made such an amazing job, that role is etched in to our brains. I believe that your name as an actor need to overshadow the character (the greater the character the bigger name you need). But back to what i first wanted to know. What has Bryan Cranston done that make his name more recognizable then his character?
The 90s Godzilla-design was infinitely superior to the original Godzilla, you suck. Never understood the complaints about the Emmerich-movie. Yes, there was too much focus on human drama (which could ruin this new movie, too), but all the Godzilla-scenes were fantastic.
I still hate that we never got a sequel to that one, since it ended with such an obvious hint for one.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
There was the cartoon...which unlike the movie, was awesome. It took the more "Godzilla is a anti-hero" track of the later Toho films and hadGodzillaZilla (Toho reclassified it to divorce it from the series) and much of the team from the film hunting down other kaiju-type monsters. Connected to the film by the scene at the end of the movie with the new hatchling.
If you need a reminder of why the 1998 version sucks and why this one looks better.
edit:
Or a different, shorter reminder of why it is mediocre at best.
edit 2:
There's always some element of cursory human drama in Godzilla films. But the destruction is always the key focus. It hasn't been about the message since the first film.

To be honest, there`s not that much of a difference between a giant lizard and a giant dinosaur, they both look alike more or less. And you have to consider that it was a reimagining, saying it`s bad because it`s different doesn't fares well with me.

It was more realistic, if a giant monster lizard were to arise from the sea and wreak havoc and destruction on the world. But I'm a purist and "reimaginings" and reinventions piss me off, for the most part. How about some originality? Stop bastardizing other people's work.
Go watch it and see for yourself. I remember Matthew Broderick being a sissy (how did Ferris Bueller turn into such a wuss?) and unlikable.

The funny thing is Bryan Cranston was clearly cast to channel some of his Breaking Bad rage monologues. Or maybe the casting director was a huge Malcolm in the Middle fan.
This looks very good, but that's the easy part. Here's hoping it has a brain.
