I don't really expect anything like that. I think some people will make the same old cliched jokes in a poor attempt to get some laughs, but I don't think they'll actually expect the movie to fulfill those stereotypes.Living Corpse wrote:Anyone else think some people will go to see this movie for the exact same reason as other won't?

No, the trailers'll probably show enough CG SFX and characters they won't expect dubbing or rubber and cardboard. Of course, the original suits and sets weren't rubber or cardboard, but, ya know, people have an image of Godzilla being so cheap while it really had decent conventional effects.

Re: "LOL Let's Go See That Corny Monster Movie"
With the upcoming Pacific Rim (a film that I believe will be the appetizer as we wait for Godzilla) people will feel differently about the kaiju genre as a whole. Honestly though, when people first got a glimps of The Hulk back in 2004 do you think they expected Lou Ferigno? By the time this film reaches near its release date, people will have an idea that this movie is not a joke.

Actually most people at this point know its an American Reboot an not a Japanese film so the rubber suit thing/cardboard boxes thing is kind of out unless there clueless about the film.. I do see people going to check this out because they did enjoy the 98 American film, an people who wont bother because they hated it.

Most people are really only aware of the original movie (which they've never seen, or mix up with an amalgamation of Showa films) and the 1998 film (which they ALL seem to think was titled "Godzilla 2000"). Generally, in my experience, people are aware the '98 movie was a bad remake and, thus, are looking forward to the upcoming movie.

Re: "LOL Let's Go See That Corny Monster Movie"
Seems like the hundreds of people who say that are only making fun of stereotypes of the Japanese Godzilla films, and hold no real knowledge of the actual Legendary Pictures film itself. I haven't read anyone online wanting to see the movie just to make fun at it, more or less from what I've seen, they think the movie will be bad because of the "grounded and realistic" part said by Gareth, or because they think it'll be cheesy and rubber suits. But other than that, majority of movie goers, fans, and the increasingly growing general public are interested in seeing how this Godzilla movie delivers.Living Corpse wrote:Anyone else think some people will go to see this movie for the exact same reason as other won't?

Yes, some still thinks its GINO, but once more interviews come out along with concept art, trailers, and even word of the mouth. They'll change their tone very quickly.

Once this film comes out on DVD, it needs to have the lips un-synced for comedic factor.

Perfect comparison. People weren't expecting Lou Ferrigno, so they won't be expecting Rubber suits or dubbing.tenup wrote: when people first got a glimps of The Hulk back in 2004 do you think they expected Lou Ferigno?

Yeah, this will happen. But just accept it. As long as they're paying for their tickets to see the movie, then the movie is making money.TheSecondComing wrote:Of course some people will see it out of hipster irony. That's life! But who cares, their tickets only add to the box office.

Re: "LOL Let's Go See That Corny Monster Movie"
I think ultimately the comparison to go for here would be the Adam West Batman series. I think many people were aware of that when Warner Bros. was developing that first Burton film but never was the realistic expectation going into it that we would get a bigger budget version of it. The same should be true of the "Godzilla" films. I think there was a similar sentiment when the '98 version came out. I can recall the cast on Saturday Night Live teasing Matthew Broderick about it as part of his opening monolouge during his hosting gig. There was also an interview with Maria Pitillo on "Late Nite with Conan O'Brien" where they showed footage of GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA, instead of clips from the new movie. Though I think this had more to do with Columbia and Emmerich not wanting to supply an early "preview clip" than anything else.
Check out the PG version of my short film, "Destroy All Sisters".

They really have no idea how to make one do they? I'd rather see a Teen Titans film based on the 80's and animated iterations , a decent Wonder Woman film with Gina Carrano [and with Haywire's choreography] and an Aquaman film than a Superman film.

Re: "LOL Let's Go See That Corny Monster Movie"
I like Batman Begins and X-men 2 and Dark Knight was ok, but I've been sick of superhero films pretty much since the craze started. The spiderman films are awful. I liked the Tom Jane version of Punisher because it was R rated so it didn't pull so many punches (even though it is a bit corny) but most these other superhero movies are just cheese layered upon cheese with bad costumes and overblown messy storylines, villains with no motivation behind them. The films have their moments, but overall I am really sick of it. The action film has pretty much been replaced by the superhero films.ScootaVaran wrote:

Then you had pretentious wannabe art crap like Watchmen and V for Vendetta. these films take themselves way too seriously. I keep watching superhero films in hopes of liking them, but I just end up making fun of them all.
Then there have been a number of superhero comedies like Kick-Ass, Scott Pilgrim, etc. VOMIT! And then the Fantastic Four films. They are for little kids, PERIOD!
The first Blade and 1989 BATMAN are the best superhero films ever and I doubt that any film will change my mind anytime soon.
