Awesome trailer, really gets me excited. Also it looks like it could pretty intriguing.

That was a cool trailer. Looks very good. Cast is great too.

This is going to be big.

More monster teasing and hiding by LP, where have I seen that before?

Looks good. They seem to have learnt from Godzilla - do not hide the freaking thing people have come to see.

But they did hide him lol.

If only you guys had been around when Jaws and Alien came out...

Hiding a monster can be a really effective tool, not only in a film but especially in the marketing. Problem a lot of people had with Godzilla wasn't the marketing (where they showed Godzilla a minimal amount ) but the amount of time he was in the film itself.

That was ages ago, audiences are different now. They want to see the main attraction early and often.

[Heretic]

Looks fucking amazing + visually breathtaking. I can't wait.

[Elessar]

Teaser has me pretty intrigued.

[Belakor]

You can see a giant spider walking up-side the soldiers in the trailer (in the Bamboo scene). Baby MUTO confirmed?

Yeah right a freaking 100 feet gorilla must be treated in an Hitchcokian suggestive hide and seek manner all the way through...

 

You can make one slow build up showing glimpses but once you reveal it in its glory you can't play that jump scares game all the way through said movie, it's redundant. (Good luck to make believe people can't spot a giant ape coming their way miles around and still react all surprised at last moment). It works in Jaws because a shark can hide in the depth of an ocean and attack stealthily where we are disavantaged as a species, a sly Alien can sneak and hide in the shades of a ship waiting silently to jump on its prey. A 100 feet gorilla or freak lizard not so much. Scale matters.

Godzilla's real problem was that the human drama failed to captivate its audience, thus making people thirsty for what they felt to be more interesting, like Godzilla wrecking shit.

 

Hopefully, this film's creators have learned the right lesson.

Good teaser. Great build-up. Right amount of suspense and action. Some slight Apocalypse Now's iconization going on. Kong rising over the sunrise is a good way to show his size and shape while subtly keeping him in the shades. Jackson's Kong looks like a chihuahua next to this new iteration.

Which is why Godzilla cutaways worked till the Hawaii scene. Post that it just became frustrating.

OK... this looks pretty amazing. I want to skip to March now... then 2020 for Godzilla vs Kong
