Cinemetic Perspective for Godzilla

i hope not, if its like cloverfield when you see him hear and there, then this movie will not be up to the standards. i hope we will see godzilla at least 50 minutes in the movie or is it to much. godzilla will get his fights against muto, witch might be 3 minutes per battle.

Hopefully the human perspectives would build up the hype for godzilla and the connection to the audience, but when they finally reveal mgodzilla they're not just gonna be quick glimpses, hopefully there'll be some scrrentime of his in 3rd person perspective as well not merely from the characters

Either way really, I trust the movie will be entertaining--especially with Godzilla's scenes because judging from the original storyboard of the leaked teaser, wherein he bit off the multi-armed monsters throat and then used his atomic breath afterwards, he's gonna be great

Personally, judging by Gareth Edwards directive style, he will HEAVILY build up the tension. To an extreme and artistic level. That director is incredible and unique. He knows his stuff. Also, the fact that he is a Godzilla fan himself, means he will bring justice. At the same time, he wants to make a realistic monster movie focused on the devastation and human element. As a few actors stated, the glimpses of Godzilla for the most part, will from a human point of view. Not EXACTLY throught their eyes everytime, but maybe from inside of a plane, or inside of car through the window(This is a summary of what they said basically). However, being that there are other monsters will also be things to play with artisticly. Im sure within the last 45 minutes, we will get amazing looks at Godzilla

@YOKOSHAI in regards to the storyboard.. actually, the person who stated that was most likely a troll, for he had no evidence whatsoever, so take that with a grain of salt.

I can't remember where I read this but in an interview Gareth did state that we don't really get too many looks at Godzilla in full view. Hopefully that will change. But if it doesn't I'm still hyped to see this very original take on the character. I've seen plenty of Godzilla movies in the past where you see him quite a bit and it quickly becomes redundant. I personally think the world is ready for an adult take on this character after 60 years.

Personally, I will have no problem if Godzilla just shows a foot or his tail or an arm, I like that kind of mystery about monsters, not showing them since the beginig of the story but I don't think this will be the case, maybe after 30 or 45 minutes we eill have a full vision of G. I just want to see him fighting other monster at least one time even if it's at the end of the movie

i think it will be much like the Trex in jurassic park. he was only in the film for 4 scenes, and for a total of about 10 minutes, but he definintely left his mark all over that film. and his time on screen wasnt just glimpses of his foot or tail; they showed the shit out of the Trex. im not saying that godzilla will only be in his own film for 10-15 minutes, but he will own every second of screentime he is given.

@AKIO123 You've done a better job of describing what I was trying to communicate. I think the introduction to Godzilla (his first attack) will be, like you say, done from varying human perspectives. I can definitely envisage it being a normal day, everyone is going about their business until suddenly all hell breaks loose but at this point in the film the source of the carnage is a mystery so shots of Godzilla will be like eye witness accounts. That's not to say taht the audience will be starved of Godzilla footage like in Cloverfield, it just means it will be a very human experience. Think of it like this - a tornado has a very distinct, recognisable form from a distance but if you were to be suddenly caught up in that storm without warning all you would experience is howling winds, darkness and debris. This is how I imagine the first encounter with godzilla. That shot of the man stood atop the fallen skyscraper surveying the destruction around him may well be one of the few survivors of this first attack and the audience will be as taken aback by the city laid to waste as he is.
