I love Godzilla, but Pacific Rim and the last Godzilla have raised the bar above what Toho seems to be able to produce these days. I will see it first before judging.
Shin Godzilla has a trailer!
- Thread starter Joelist
- Start date
And we're starting to see art house theater listings for an October limited US release:

So...does this Godzilla get a pass from you? Godzilla suit and all? He has "lava" running down his back, red lights under his skin, and a chest pouch.
They still used some miniatures too.
It does. Tone reminds me of Mechagodzilla.
. Seems to me like they want it to be "traditional", and now that is not really an excuse to give us a man in a Godzilla suit (IMO). Pacific Rim gave us a real Kaiju film in the classic sense, but was done with new technology.
Wow. Really? Then perhaps they did a motion capture thing with a man in a suit? The Godzilla in Godzilla 2014 looked like a reptilian creature when he moved, not a motion captured human. This one looks like a man in a suit, but you are correct:
I can't wait until you review this movie! I am interested in it because it is the latest Godzilla movie, but that new Godzilla is really a hard one to accept for me. The red lava and the chest pouch are hard to deal with.

I was able to find out a couple of things:
a) The structure on his front is not a pouch. It is a bony structure akin to a breast bone and a development from Goji's evolution during the film.
b) The lava is not lava but actually open, raw, bloody skin again due to his actually mutating during the film ( he does not start and end the film in the same form).

They "evolved" him? Into what? If they do that he will no longer be Godzilla.
