Haha me too and I don't even know why. It's also the first time I'm gonna watch a movie on it's first day when the cinema will be full.
I'm checking the reservation system every 30 minutes. I want to have the best seats

I'm trying to find out if my local theater is doing a midnight showing of it.

It bears repeating. They did an awesome job in designing this new Godzilla. It looks insanely menacing
Especially with that image, you really see how much it invokes the original
That is way to early. I'm planing to get about 20 min early.

haha was rewatching the original, love how the suit seems to have gotten all kind of wear and tear during filming and they didn't give a shit. godzilla got a lazy eye for a few scenes.
How are the feet? Have you seen the movie, do they still look like Brachiosaurus feet?

No haven't seen it. I'm just comparing that image with the style of the original

To be exact. Many of the Godzilla movies are connected to the original and/or connected to each other.
85, 2000, Megaguiras and GMK, and then the two Millennium Mechagdozillas were all connected to the original but nothing else. The two Millennium mechagodzillas were direct sequels to each other.
During Heisei, Biollante all the way up to Destroyah are connected to the original and then form their own singular storyline though some of the story gets a little funky because of the Heisei King Ghidorah movie, lol.
The Showa movies have a sliding scale of connected/not connected to them and honestly, I have a headache trying to figure that junk out sometimes.

didn't they retcon original godzilla's death a bit in millenium mechagodzilla?
im pretty sure the bones dissolved in the original, but i guess they didn't.

Can't wait.
Can't wait.
I think so. Maybe in there universe oxygen destroyer doesn't destroy bones

Nah. The original's Oxygen Destroyer disintegrated all flesh and left the bone around The fish scene shows the skeletons still alive. However, I think they did destroy of Godzilla in the original, so it's kind of a continuity error. Destroyah kept the same premise too. That sets up the millennium mechagodzilla movies perfectly.
I just had both on as background noise last night too. lol

I always thought they had killed Godzilla in 1954, but there was a second one, which is the one he fought with in S.O.S and what not.
Shouta
Member
Correct. There was a second one in the Millennium Mechagodzillas.
In fact, they are almost always a second one or sometimes a 3rd Godzilla, lol.

Is there a Godzilla fans thread?
Might as well ask here if there isn't but where does the second Godzilla come from? If the OG one was detroyed by the Oxygen Destroyer than where does the second one come from? It must be a different Godzilla in Raids Again, 85 and the entire Millenium series right?
EDIT: Haha, didnt realized the same thing is being discussed above me .

EDIT: Haha, didnt realized the same thing is being discussed above me .
Almost the very next scene after destroying Godzilla underwater, the slightly crazed biologist father asserts that he "couldn't have been the last of his kind" and that there were more Godzillas out there. So it opens the door for different ones.
Right on i'm gonna see it there too, all by my lonesome self.

Wonder how this movie could open up for other monsters if it gets a sequel?
Honestly, I think Baragon, Angilas, Rodan, Mothra, King Ghidorah (maybe) and a few others could be done rather well.

Nah, For the second film they should use a lesser monster like varan,Angilas orRodan. The third film should be about King Ghidorah.

You think so? I know when I've gone to early screenings for other films, usually end of the year "prestige" films. It's been good to show up at least an hour early. I showed up an hour early for Captain Phillips and had to sit too close to the screen.
They overbook these advance screenings, so a pass isn't a guarantee to getting in.

Anybody know how much screen time Bryan Cranston has in this movie?
I thought he was just a supporting character but the trailers feature him heavily as if he's the star of the show. I'm assuming it's because of all the Breaking Bad hype...

If they use a Toho monster for a sequel I kind of hope it's one of the lesser used villains like Biollante. Third film should definitely be MechaGodzilla or Ghidorah.
It depend on where it is. Where are you seeing the movie at if you don't mind.
I don't wanna see Godzilla job to Mothra again though.
Unless they use the Twins, without them it wont feel right.

All of the scenes they've shown of him seem to be early on in the movie, so I think they might be overplaying it a bit.

dude this is the first time in years I am pumped for a blockbuster movie.
I'll quote myself :
The trailers make him look like the hero, but Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the real (human) one

I'm curious if Cranston even gets any screen time outside of Japan but I'd perfer not to know.

Apologies then, It seemed like you were snubbing me a bit, but I must have just took it the wrong way. Its all good.
Thank you so much! This type of breakdown is the sort of stuff I was looking for. Most of the stuff I looked at online read more like some weird multi-timeline fan fic.
But Anguirus is my favorite!

hmmm was watching it again last night (amazon prime subtitled one, so not sure if there were any edits) but im pretty sure you see godzilla's bones for a sec and then you don't. could be bad editing or i didn't pay close enough attention (was folding laundry)
That sucks, but not completely unexpected.

I don't its worth getting too wrapped up in, but if you want a specific example of one of the little continuity quirks in the Showa era, in Destroy All Monsters (1968) King Ghidorah (spoilers for a 46 year old movie lol)
gets his ass beat and is killed
Like others have said, Heisei is much better about having a consistent thread running through the films. Definitely watch them in order.
what this guy said, the release order is fine overall

the only godzilla films that felt like direct sequels were the 2 mellenium mecha godzilla and tokyo sos.
am i the only one that hate the movies with mothra and fairies and psychics? Godzilla is a goofy franchise but for some reason those elements makes it a bit too silly ;P

Pretty sure they did destroy the bones of Godzilla in the original '54 movie. But the Oxygen destroyer can just destroy all flesh as well. Could take it up to continuity error but I guess retcon would fit as well.

well then the movie also for some reason decided to put the bones in a giant robot godzilla for some reason, and for some reason the bones gave it a 'soul' of som-
godzilla is a silly franchise.
What about the entire Heisei era?
Godzilla 1985 is a direct sequel to the 1954 movie. And every movie from Godzilla 1985 through Godzilla vs Destroyah is a sequel.

That's why I prefer the MechaGodzilla movie from 1993. None of that bones nonsense. It's just a straight up military/war movie about fighting Godzilla.
