The New Godzilla ??

there were already some FX scenes of the new Godzilla, weren't there?
That image looks like a lot like the Millennium Godzilla from the first couple of films. Honestly I expect nothing from this American-made film. It's about time for Toho to do a new series, isn't it? That's what I want to see.
Personally i never thought Zilla's design was a negative point for the 1998 movie, he looked pretty good if you ask me. The film was crap because of the story, with Zilla's offspring being turned into wannabe Raptors an particular irritation, not the monster design.
The other thing i question is the idea that sticking someone in a rubber constume will provide a better effect than CGI. Surely with the advances made in motion capture if you want to give the new Godzilla a few human touches you don't have to stick someone inside. Hell just hire Andy Serkis to play Godzilla.

NuZillla's head looked like a phone jack. Every time he stuck his head into a tunnel I thought he was trying to connect to dialup internet.
This is definitely a vast improvement and more connected to the original if the final product turns out anything like this.
This I agree with, though. You're never going to get the kind of fluid, dynamic movement of a real animal out of a guy in a thick rubber suit. It should be done with motion capture and CGI. And I agree that no one is better at that than Andy Serkis at this point.
I like this Godzilla, does he have atomic breath?
For me it was this, the whole being killable by the military (is it too much to ask that when fighting an extremly powerful radioactive lizard that the army can't hurt him that easily), and the lack of Godzilla leveling New York City.
He better.
One of the thing that bothers me is that '90's Godzilla except for Zilla/American Godzilla is that the head is always too small compared to it's body. This sculpture has the same problem. Go back to original Gojira movie and you can see his head is better proportioned.
Exactly. This is played up more in the Heisei and Millennium films. Godzilla is an existential force, not just some mutated animal and to miss that subtext is to kind of miss the point of the films to me.
Godzilla isn't an animal, that's the thing. He's Fat Man and Little Boy given legs and a tail. He shouldn't look like an animal. He should look like the gods of nature repaid mankind's hubris by harnessing an atomic fireball and giving it flesh.
And, he's a radioactive mutant, so, anything goes, to a point.
