It started with great anticipation from the core fanbase, dispite some questionable rumors about the plot, design, characters etc. This initial goodwill was totally killed in the months that followed when it was obvious that Tri-Star and Centropolis didn't give a damn at all about the character and history behind Godzilla, they wanted to use the name to make a crass, commercial, mass market rip off of Jurassic Park. Not one thing from the preceding 20 plus movies that makes Godzilla what he is, is on screen in Godzilla 98 other than its a big monster in a city. They **** all over the fans and lied to us at every turn.
Thank god the proposed trilogy was never finished.
So with that in mind...these designs are terrible. They are Transformers only because Micheal Bay and Co. are telling us they are. The same arrogant attitudes that ruined Godzilla 98 are at work on this film. Its a shame, because like a high tech version of Godzilla, a live action TF movie could be truley amazing.
Sadly this just looks like typical Hollywood ****.

Except Godzilla '98 rocked. I liked it. A lot. It was better than any other Godzilla film. Not a hard feat to accomplish, though. In a fight between rubber suits and CGI, who would you pick?
Especially if it's Godzilla 2000. That is one kick-arse rubber suit.Black_Convoy wrote:Shadowman wrote:briizilla wrote:I was a Transformers fan as a kid, but only in the last year or so have I started to get back into them(I'm 32 btw).

Word. There's a great article about American Godzilla somewhere on line. (I tried to find it again, but I couldn't.) It basically details how all of the "improvements" that the film makers came up with were what caused it to be universally reviled. They even dug up some quotes from Dean Devlin admitting that mistakes were made. It all sounds frighteningly familiar to those of us who've been following the Transformers production.

I agree with AbsumZer0. Seriously Ironhidensh, stop kidding yourself. Sure it has special effects which every movie goer loves but ask yourself this: Could it be better? Of course it could have! All they needed was Mothra or a slew of other Godzilla foes.AbsumZer0 wrote:Ironhidensh wrote:

It looked like a Godzilla movie made by a couple Hollywood hot-shots with no respect or admiration for the property and a $150 million budget.

And aside from Frenzy, this movie looks to rock out like never before.

Really? With the sole exception of Frenzy, I think these 'bots and 'cons fulfill every aspect and definition of Transformers.
And Godzilla '98 rocked. It was a Godzilla movie that didn't look like a middle school theatre club made it.
