http://www.horror-movies.ca/2013/09/god ... -revealed/ ................. All I have to say is WOW! I'm impressed.

It's beautiful. I hope this is actually the design. If it is, I'm a happy man.

I guess I might as well give my 2 cents. I know everyone's gonna disagree with me but at this point, I don't care.

Positives
- I guess it looks kinda like Godzilla (way more so that Gino obviously).
- The overall shape is kinda there.
- Spikes look ok.
- Skin texture is looking better from last time I saw the early Marquette.

Negatives
-Despite the overall shape being ok, it also almost reminds me of a 3-dimensional shape of "Littlefoot's Mother" from Land Before Time.
-And on that note, he doesn't look very brutal/intimidating (at least not from this angle)
-The eyes aren't really doing it for me. They certainly looked a lot better in the encounter footage.
-Teeth need to be way sharper and longer than that. Looks too omnivorous or even herbivorous.
-I don't really mind that he has "gills", but you'd think they'd make them bigger considering his size. Then again, they're kinda making Godzilla almost like a shark if they're gonna give him that many gills.
-I saw one facebook post from someone saying this Godzilla reminded him of George Clooney . . . . . . . you know what, hate to say it but I see a likeness haha.

As some of you saw in my facebook post regarding this, (and to give the short generalized version) they would've been much better off just taking an oldschool design from one of the more classic films, CG'n the hell out of it with slight modifications, and leaving it at that. Bottom line, for a design that took several years (like it did in America back in the 90s again), its mediocre (history repeating itself in a way??). A lot of ppl are obviously disagreeing as they feel everything has to be new new new. And yea we live in an age where all concepts and mediums "have to" be modified for new appeal, marketing, demographics or whatever the reason. But then you have to ask the question, how do we know if bringing "oldschool back" is going to succeed or fail in a case like this . . . . . . ????? We honestly don't. Either way its just as much a 50/50 gamble when it comes to a films success. We don't even know if ppl are even going to go see this Godzilla this time around being the fact that its opening alongside films like Spiderman 2, X-Men, and Wizard of Oz 2 (that's some pretty tall competition for the time even for Godzilla to be going up against for box office numbers). And don't misinterpret what I'm saying there. I don't want it to flop. If anything I want it to be a good film at very least (especially since Frank Darabont had a hand in writing the script). But getting back to this design, I would just hope one day in my generation, America or TOHO might revert back to a more oldschool concept we once loved. I'm not saying remake it "exactly" like we remembered it, just bring some nostalgia with a new/witty idea and have fun with it or do a dark theme with it. (Always 2 had the right idea.) And if I'm the only one who feels that here than so be it.

SWEET!!! I LOVE the design... totally Godzilla... far more familiar than GINO. I can't wait to see him in action!!!

[Dai]

Great design. Unlike GINO, which only ever looked like an animal, this looks like a character. You can see the intelligence in the eyes. I look at this, and I see a movie star.

[Alpha OTS]

I like it. Don't love it, but that could easily change once I see more of it or see it in action. Definitely agree about the teeth, they need to be longer/sharper. Also agree that you can see some character in the design here, which is hugely promising.

Gills? I wanted to see Godzilla with a blowhole!

When I look at that face I see various bits from all 60 years of Godzilla's history staring back at me. Well done.

[MekaGojira3k]

I dig it

I love it.

And I second everything Gman had to say.

Eh... Too much of a stretch (literally?) to be funny. I think the main thing I'm taking away from this is how you can manipulate Clooney to look like a Rage Troll face.

[canofhumdingers]

Agh I missed it! Anyone happen to save it before it got pulled down?

[Henry88]

[MekaGojira3k]

I don't get the George Clooney/Godzilla thing. I don't see the connection other than you didn't like the design...and so...he gets a George Clooney overlay?

[canofhumdingers]

That was quick! Thanks!

Not sure how I feel about it yet. Will have to let it soak in a bit. Not crazy about the sunken cheeks right now. Like the heavy brow though.

[rockstarbd82]

I'm not the only one who thinks so. I've seen several fb comments where ppl think it looks like Clooney or even Matt Damon. Vague . . . Yes but I still sorta see a resemblence.

At least Matt Frank thought it was kinda funny

[lhb412]

Clooney has always been stealing Godzilla's look! I've been saying this for years!

[rockstarbd82]

I rest my case
