I got off of work at 7am and for whatever reason couldn't hit the sack immediately. Because I have to come in at 11pm I got the sleep I could. Totally forgot that this was coming out so it was nice to come to the job and remember so I've been watching this new trailer for about 20 minutes straight now.
This is a really good trailer though it's not quite as well done as the first one. But that's fine. I totally get where they are coming from. The first trailer got the buzz going as well as hyping up the long time G-Fans. It was well crafted, lyrical even. But WB also wants to get the ball rolling in terms of the wider marketplace. They had to make a more visceral trailer showcasing spectacle and action over all else to assure the audience that this won't be a repeat of the 2014 films more more slow pace and conservation of sequences with monsters. No, this trailer says, we have human characters and they are obviously going to be factors in the movie, but do not worry, we are also going to have some epic throwdowns with these classic kaiju.
Every monster looks great, with King G being a standout with how absolutely Biblical he comes off as. This is just a beast, but THE BEAST. The first look at Mothra was also great. Awe inspiring but frightening. Rodan looks like he'll be a show stopper with the aerial combat.
Again, maybe not as good a trailer as the first but what they showed us more than made up for it being more a silver medal to the teaser's gold. The hype train is leaving the station. Get on board now people!
