Gareth Edward’s Godzilla trailer gives us hope for monster flicks
The latest incarnation of Godzilla is set to wreak havoc and destruction across movie theaters around the country next May. In the meantime we have the first official Godzilla trailer to tide us over. We’re happy to report the first rumblings of Godzilla’s thunderous presence are enough to give us plenty of hope director Gareth Edwards will get this whole monster flick thing right. See for yourself below.

We particularly love how little you see of the great scaly beast overall. It’s tactfully done, giving you just enough of a glimpse of Godzilla to get the point across while never compromising the anticipation. Previous entries of this historic franchise have made somewhat of a cartoonish mockery of a creature that should be greatly feared.
Longtime fans of Godzilla will tell you that the monster was originally intended to be mankind’s punishment, God’s response to nuclear arms and constant warfare. Who else could do a better job of bringing about a darker tone to your series than Bryan Cranston? Fresh off his stint from Breaking Bad, it’s great to see Cranston still closely associated with the comic book and nerd culture. We’d be shocked if this movie was anything less than a blockbuster.
