Godzilla looks pretty badass

I thought the exact opposite.  I will watch it because I am a fan of Godzilla movies. The last one was ok.  One of the parts that bother me is from judging by the poster, Godzilla looks to be 1500 ft tall.  Thats just crazy. Godzilla has always been around 350 ft tall or less.  Not sure I am digging the cast either.

 

 

Raymond Burr is dead, get over it.

Lots to like...

 

- The callback to the original movie...

 

- The use of a creature design based on the original (as opposed to a giant freakin' iguana)

 

- Bryan Cranston playing a re-creation of the Raymond Burr role...

 

- The suggestion that nuclear tests were really attempts to kill the monster...

 

- The dark tone (a giant monster movie should not be lighthearted)

 

- The fact that Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich have nothing to do with it...

 

- The legendary Godzilla roar...

 

 

Can't wait to see this.

What!? The cast is arguably the most promising part.

Aaron Johnson is a really underrated actor, but he's married to a woman twice his age (23 - 46) which is weird.

 

Bryan Cranston is arguably the best TV actor of the past decade, and possibly one of the best of all time.

 

Ken Watanabe arguably could've/should've won an Academy Award between The Last Samurai and Letters from Iwo Jima, and apparently sweeps the Japanese film awards every time he's in a movie over there.

 

Elizabeth Olsen is pretty fine.

 

And there are a couple others who have won/been nominated for multiple Academy Awards and Golden Globes.

 

It's good to see one of these big monster/apocalyptic/superhero type movies with people who are actually well established and praised actors.

I hate these types of movies -- big monster destroying things, superheros, comic book related, based off of a cartoon/anime, etc etc.

 

But this does look quite good. Darabont is in on it, and he has literally never had a misfire. Look at the things he's been in on: Shawshank, Green Mile, Collateral, Minority Report, Saving Private Ryan, The Mist, The Walking Dead before it got shitty.

 

Add the relatively strong cast to the bill, especially considering these types of films almost always have terrible to mediocre casts... Color me a little excited.

One thing though. Apparently Joseph Gordon-Levitt turned down a role in the movie, and the dude has mastered the art of script choosing. Considering how often you see the guy in movies these days, he has been in very very few "bad" movies, even early on in his career before he became the up-and-coming star that he is today. That's the one thing that comes across as a little fishy, especially since he's my favorite actor and I think the dude is an absolute genius.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
