Kind of. I just wanted to know after the movie comes out what we're all going to bitch about, but so far most of what I'm getting is "Don't make it like the 1998 movie and it'll be fine."

I don't think that's the only thing but Godzilla 1998 pretty much nailed everything every G-fan feared would happen in an American version of Godzilla.

- Lack of Godzilla
- Godzilla is not portrayed correctly in design or spirit
- Bad acting
- Bad Dialog
- Cheesy 1 liners
- boring sequences
- Godzilla baby's
- Ripping off Jurassic park
- No monster for Godzilla to battle

So Emmerich an Devlin pretty much set the bar very low for an American Godzilla film, An Toho has left the bar pretty low after most fan's being majorly disappointed with ''Godzilla: Final Wars''.

So to me Legendary would really have to want this property to fail in order to do something worse then Sony's misfire.

True.

Hopefully this film can have some great action while still having a serious and intelligent story.

While I want Godzilla to be slim, I would actually like to see a bulky enemy kaiju, especially if it's something like Ghidorah or Destoroyah.

The suits were also made out of a new lighter material so actors had more freedom to run and not have so much strain on them.

But again GFW wasted what could have potentially been great tooth and claw action we haven't seen since the 60's films. As for the enemy, I don't mind them being slim as long as they tower over Godzilla, especially if it's King Ghidorah. The one thing that makes him stand out besides being gold and three headed is that he makes one of the largest creatures on Earth look small standing next to him.

GINO was supposed to be a remake of Gojira.

I'd also like to see some contrast in personality between Godzilla and his enemy. Godzilla, to me, has always been the ultimate anti hero bad ass. He can be both frightening and heroic, but over all is more chaotic neutral. For an enemy like King Ghidorah, I want to see something evil and foul. While Godzilla had this sense of nobility to him, KG had a more arrogant and mocking personality, as well as a lot of sadistic glee. Another good example is Destoroyah. When Godzilla is fighting, you can tell he is VERY pissed off, while Destoroyah on the other hand is in murderous ecstasy and is having the time of his life.

Back on topic, another thing I'm worried about is seeing something like Kingdom of Monsters (hamfisted humor, evil Godzilla, overtly political tones)

Not enough sex scenes.

Sorry, too much Game of Thrones.

Godzilla being good or "lost" or alone.

I had the most vivid dream I ever had last night.

Me and Brit were at the theater for the premiere of LP GODZILLA

It started out fine, until Godzilla was finally revealed.

THEY USED A TOY. And half of it was just a slide show like thing.

I was VERY upset. And the worst part was I woke up this morning believing I actually saw the movie.

Now you know how a lot of fans felt when they saw G 1998.

Also I'm sorry you had to suffer such a nightmare.

I'm terrible about that shit. I am completely incapable of recognizing a dream as such while it is occuring. Just to make it worse, they're alway incredibly vidid and realistic for me, meaning that I recall them almost as intensely as genuine memories. When I have a really rough nightmare, it can be tough to push it aside in the morning.

1. A movie in the style of Kingdom of Monsters (political humor, modern pop culture references, the excessive humor, etc.).
2. The film specifically caters to children. (skreeonk the children!)
3. Humans eat up 90% of the screentime, making the monsters a mere afterthought.
4. An out of place, overdrawn love story.
5. Godzilla can be harmed by conventional weaponry.
6. Godzilla is killed off.
7. It resembles a movie by Michael Bay.
8. It is another GINO.
