[quote="kidnicky"]I agree with Mouth. You can't say the movie WILL suck because the studio will do X and Y...........It's silly.

Anyone else find it hard to believe LP bought the rights to Godzilla so they could make a movie monster who doesn't look,act,or sound like the real deal AFTER G98 was a huge failure? It doesn't make any sense. GINO is the best (worst?) example of an adaptation that bombed because it didn't respect the source material. I know some of you guys like to make fun of mainstream movies or “Hollywierdâ€

Agreed. This film will fail only if the producers forget what the audience expects to see in a Godzilla movie. They expect to see Godzilla.

Back to the topic of Godzilla's design, after seeing the scanned pictures of the Ghido-Goji (as it's called by fans) from GvsKG, from another thread, I am convinced, more than ever, that a CGI version of this great suit would be perfect for the Legendary production. I mean, it's beautiful, majestic, intelligent-looking, and strong. If I had a vote, design-wise, this suit would get mine.

In fact, while I'm on the subject, I would like to see Legendary, after the mega-blockbuster hit that will be Godzilla 2012, do a remake of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. Imagine, for a moment, a high-tech, fully-budgeted version of the three-headed nemesis, towering over Godzilla, generating gale-force winds, gravity beams destroying everything for miles around.

I would scale back Godzilla's lower body somewhat, not giving him a dinosaur look, but more proportioned. King Ghidorah would live up to his name: he would be terrible and horrifying. Between the winds generated by his massive wings, the electricity-induced destruction of the gravity beams, and his almost gleeful rampage, Godzilla would be the anti-hero everyone would want to see. After King Ghidorah, Godzilla would get an ovation upon surfacing from the ocean.

And then, they fight. It would be a sprawling, knock-down, drag-out battle, covering several square miles, defying containment or even description.
