How would you react to an all-CG film?

The "point" is the subtle things that suits can't do but are so important. Dialating of the eyes, breathing, muscle twitching, the ripples moving through Kaiju flesh as their massive amounts of tonage hit the ground. These are all key factors in Godzilla being legitimate in Cinema again. I feel, however, that an all CGI flick for Goji is a bad move, maybe it would be all right for Ultraman but not Godzilla. The key factor for Godzilla is a somewhat sense of realism, seeing our world then, the giants amidst it. Besides that I truly believe Godzilla should go back to his horror roots and have a solo flick again. Make Godzilla relevant, turn him back into a symbol. "As a symbol he can be incorrubtable" ( Batman Begins reference there) Above all make him scary again!!! Please!!

I like a lot of the points that are being made here. I personally have voiced my opinions elsewhere on this site, but as a response to a question of an all CGI Godzilla...I say yes only in a motion capture environment...

In the idea I had, would involve several past Godzilla movies in a 4 act play so to speak...1st act uses GVThe Thing as backstory, 2nd act uses somthing like G85, then act 3 uses GvBiollante (Haven't fleshed out which 3 best complete the backstory but the 1st one is a definate)

I want to re-create the scenes from each movie, only using new characters in them from a different perspective of the same events as to not tarnish or change the original's story. Using motion capture, CGI and color filtering I would like each part of the movie to reflect the cinema look and techniqe of each film...IE the warmer earthy tones used in GvM. Culminating in the 4th chapter in the film with the new scenario and a bringing together of the story arc to a very 6th Sense twist ending.

AGAIN, I DON'T WANT THE PAST CHANGED, but as in life, there could be other stories around each event aside from the original movies.

As to motion capture, you can have a "man in suit" also re-create each Godzilla moment in these movies and have the CGI boost the visual appeal of Godzilla in some of it's most memorable role without a diminished return. Just adding (like it was said before) more expression texture and visual oomph to the design is all that is needed. Godzilla doesn't have to outrun choppers...he can just blow them out of the sky!!!:D
