Very confirmed.

Names mentioned at SDCC 2014: Mothra (boo!), Rodan (meh), and King Ghidora (FUCK YES).

I was going to bash the politically inspired voiceover, but after watching the trailer I have a feeling it might be a swerve.

Does anyone know if this is the same Godzilla/storyline from the last movie?

What do you mean? That they'll find some monster, accidentally wake it up, and then Godzilla has to come save the day?

The trailer makes it sound like humans need to wake the titans to save themselves and the planet. However, based on the "You're a monster" line I'm thinking it's a swerve.

My prediction is the woman tricks humans into waking the monsters hoping they'll destroy the Earth. Bonus points if she's an alien. (All the old movies had aliens constantly trying to use the monsters to take out humanity.)

I'm really looking forward to this, I'm going to try to take the kid after school, tomorrow.

Early review that I liked:
Just saw it. Godzilla 2014 is a kaiju opera. King of the Monsters is a kaiju metal concert.

Cannot remember the last time I didn't have assigned seats at a theater. Must have been years ago

Despite some ridiculous situations like Godzilla having amazing timing and humans surviving while titans, literally, battle and crash above them, it was good. However, not great.

Reminded me a LOT of the old Godzilla movies. The human plot is what drives the story forward, and they make it a bit more complex than it needed to be. There are good and bad humans, they do shit that affects the titans, yada yada yada. Just like the old movies.

They give a nod to old fans too that I'm certain went over the heads of new fans. Hint: It has to do with Mothra. There were actually quite a few things that were throw backs to the old movies, which was cool. None get in the way of the story.

There's a scene at the end that is simply BAD. It's 5 seconds long, but man does it fuck up the story telling in a big way. This cannot be understated. It is a colossal fuck up. I don't know what they were thinking.

Did they have to hire an actress that looked just like Elizabeth Olsen? I was confused for the first 5 minutes wondering who these people were and why I was supposed to care.

Curious to see Gordon's thoughts. I know he saw it tonight too.

It's worth seeing on the big screen just because they're titans, but without that I'd say it'd be a must see only when it was available to rent. UNLESS you remember all the old films fondly. If that's the case, this is like a walk down memory lane.
