What Do You Expect?

[King Caesar]

1) Excellent monster designs. I don't care who he fights, just as long as they look good. He could fight Gezora for all I care.
2) Good acting. Seems simple for LP to follow this, but it is a Sci-Fi movie...
3) Godzilla being the central character. I don't wanna know how so-and-so feels about this or that, just focus on what the movie is called: Godzilla.

I expect a movie with Godzilla in it!

Now there's no way this film can disappoint me

Did we not learn our lesson from last time?

Good point

My thoughts, from another thread:

Can they still make a bad film? Yes but if they are taking the backlash from the last remake serious at all I think even if they screw it up it G 98 would still be the bigger skreeonk up.

Exactly. We'll get a Japanese-style Godzilla (who looks like him, has atomic breath and is immune to most weapondry) in full CGI facing off a monster...the story could be nothing but the characters farting, and it would still be a better movie than GINO.

i expect a well created, and crafted Godzilla that stays true to the orginal but have a little bit tweak in its look. Nothing dramatic. Also wouldnt mind little bit of human character development, but nothing to over the top. Basically i want an overall great movie.

[SuperSaiyan4Godzilla]

I expect crap. Because when your expectations are the lowest, you can only go up!

[Shadow]

Well, LP has made good if not great movies in the past, so I hope they will do the same with Godzilla.

[Gojira-Fan]

I feel a lot of people are going to be disappointed with this movie...

That's why I think it's best to just go into this upcoming film with zero expectations. I learned my lesson from GINO: Don't overhype something, because then it's always going to be a disappointment.

Seriously, nothing ever lives up to the hype, especially not an American Godzilla film.

I'm excited for this, but I don't have expectations like "It needs to be dark". "It needs more action" "There needs to be no Toho monsters, because I'm tired of the same old monsters"

I'll just watch it, and if it's good great, if it's bad, oh well.

We only have one example of an American Godzilla, so I think that it's rather unfair to assume that, by its very nature, it couldn't live up to hype. I agree that we shouldn't set our expectations too high (or too specific) because LP can't tailor the film to please every single nit-picky fan out there as well as the general public, though.

For example, I think expectations such as "recognizable as the classic Godzilla" and "a film that takes its material seriously" are reasonable. Getting too demanding, wanting certain monsters, certain tones, etc. is just setting yourself up for butthurt.

[Hellspawn28]

What I Expect to happen:

- The film will be dark and gritty something similar to the Nolan Batman movies and the upcoming Spider-Man movie. It seems like they want to go for that tone and it seems likely

- The movie will have a lead character being scientist and most of the human cast will be pretty forgettable. I would imagine that the movie will try to focus more on Godzilla then the lead human characters. Something similar how Rise of the Planet of the Apes was is possible.

- Maybe one or two homages to the Japanese movies

- Godzilla looking like and acting like his Japanese counter part

- People will still bitch about the film even if it's a good film.

[Biollante]

"Godzilla...Is home."

[Gorosaurus Rex]

We live in an age of bitching and incredible cynicism. This is bound to happen.

[Dust_pan]

I don't believe there's anything inherently wrong with high expectations, as long as you can deal with disappointment (which of course, not many people can handle). I've expected many things from hyped movies, songs, games, etc. But I'm never that disappointed when it turns out I didn't get what I wanted.

Besides, it can be entertaining to see other people complain.

[ZillaEra]

Source?

Google "Godzilla 2012 Brian Rogers", and a video interview where he confirmed this, should be the first thing to pop up. He says he will fight an "other monster, or monsters".

...That hardly implies Godzilla will fight SEVERAL monsters.

True. Sorry, I accidentally misinterpreted your question.

But there's so much to bitch and be cynical about!

Eh, it's not just that.

It's just bound to happen.
Difference of opinion makes that a 100 percent chance.

You know your favorite band that you and 2 million other people are the best thing ever? Someone hates them.

You know that movie, that is a staple in cinema history, and groundbreaking in everyway? Someone hates it.


So, everyone is bound to hate something.

I'm hoping for something in the same vein as Star Trek or Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
