Gamera is really neat, he is filled with turtle meat!

(Ohhh my GAWWWWD)

Is it just me or is this trailer really dark? I don't mean tone, I mean like I could barely make out what was happening

I believe it's thanks to the success of Pacific Rim that all of these kaiju reboots are crawling out of the woodwork..

Oh, someone else is getting a reboot too..

I believe that video might have been a recording from New York ComicCon; hopefully there'll be an official trailer out soon.

Ever seen Revenge of Iris? I'm only half sure I have because half the drat movie is so dark you can't see a drat thing.

The bit that always struck me is that a lot of the footage has rounded corners. Like, there's the edge of the film gate visible there masking off part of the frame or something.

Man, I love that movie so much.

Mostly I'm referring to the early city fight with the Gyaos where it's all rubble and smoke and weird closeups that obscure everything. The Iris fight at the end is just fine. Then again, I understand that the director was trying to make a movie not so much about Gamera himself as much as the bystanding civilians caught in the middle of his fights.

A little more anime than kaiju, but here is a Cliff's Notes anime of an old Ultraman manga mini-series. Might be pretty confusing if you're not familiar with the Ultra Brothers or Ultra series up until Taro..

Yeah, at least one of those pics is just in front of a full-bright blue screen, of course it's going to look like garbage in that context. Let's see how it looks with proper color grading and CGI greebles added before we make any sweeping judgments.

Somewhat similar to what they did to Ultraman the Next. Make it look like he's fibrous and missing skin..

Don't mistake my incredulity for not being hype. I'm just perplexed--he actively looks like he's rotting and falling apart. I mean, if that's what they're going for, this will be interesting for sure...

It reminds me of Godzilla vs. Destroyah where Godzilla melts down. Maybe they're playing up the atomic holocaust metaphor post-Fukushima?

apparently there's a rumor floating around that the Godzilla in this one is a revived '54 Godzilla, and he spends most of the movie regenerating, which would explain some differences in design between some of the photos of Godzilla '16 that have surfaced

Thinking about it, there's been lots of talk about using CG in this Godzilla heavily too. Which makes me think that maybe they're going the route of "enhancing" the practical effects with CG paint to make them look different? That can work great in some cases.

I'm still worried about that stupid googly eye though.

I didn't like the googly eye at first, but then I remembered Godzilla has had a long history of wonky eyeballs, and now I kinda like it.
