Too Excited for Godzilla

Remember the last time you saw a Godzilla movie? Three months ago when they played it on Channel 7. It was a decent movie. KFC ran a decent promotion on it, even though the toys weren't even Godzillas from the movie. What I am trying to say is, the movie was popular, it still sort of is. Matthew Broderick is a cool guy and he tried to fight a Godzilla, a cool monster.

Now I don't know much about Godzilla outside of the Matthew Broderick version but I know he is worshipped by lizards, or zillas. He was also huge in Japan and he fought other monsters, sometimes they were mechanical. I think he might have even fought King Kong at one stage, but as I said, my knowledge on Godzilla is limited.

This might have happened, also does Godzilla have a mouth laser?

I've seen Pacific Rim, I've touched on the convergence of cultures in cinema before so I'm pretty much an expert on everything ever. What Hollywood is trying to do is to create Hollywood budget movies that appeal to people that aren't necessarily Americans. Pacific Rim was more successful in the East than the West, that's fine. Hollywood is expanding it's audience, and that means people will be seeing some big-budget movies that break the mould. One of the gripes I had with Matthew Brozilla was that it was people mainly dealing with a natural disaster. Godzilla could have been subbed in for a Volcano or a Tsunami or an Earthquake. With Hollywood focusing some of its efforts towards the East maybe Western audiences will be exposed to something different in cinema. One of my hopes is that a samurai tries to fight Godzilla with a sword and manages to deflect Godzilla's punches and runs vertically up Godzilla's body and cuts him in the eye, only for Godzilla to be mostly unphased like when Superman gets shot in the eye in Superman Returns.

See that image? It's big, I made it so people could read it. Godzilla is bigger than he has ever been before. Or she, seeing as she gave birth in Brozilla. How is anyone going to fight that? Sure I'd use diplomacy to get him to be my best friend, but I'm not in the movie, except as an extra that dies in the first half an hour. But seriously, a punch can't hurt Godzilla, an army can't beat Godzilla. The only things I can think of that can beat Godzilla are Superheroes, bigger monsters and science. Which leads me to my next point.

Bryan Cranston is playing the scientist guy. As you may already know Bryan Cranston has incredible range from father with troubles to father with troubles that cooks good meth. Well he at least has the range to deal with troubles (Godzilla) and cook meth (Science stuff, Godzilla's weakness).

This movie will be amazing. It is going to iron out the flaws in the first movie and keep it closer to it's source material. It has to, surely Hollywood won't disappoint. Also for continuity I'll throw in the trailer so you can be even more excited for this movie.
