MemberMothra LarvaeJan-29-2014 12:55 PMi think just as people overreacted to the realsim of this new movie, fans are overreacting to the marketing of this movie. i find that the marketing has been abit slow but not 'bad', yeah a godzilla trailer/teaser is not being showed on the superbowl and TASM2 is, but both XMEN DoFP and DoPotA aren't either and xmen is godzilla's main competition after a week of it's release. according to some people the a 30 sec teaser costs 3-7 million dollars, that maybe small for what big companies get, but apprently there is no proof that superbowl movie trailers boost movie performances, some say that the general superbowl viewer rembers commercials more than movie teasers, it may get a little more publicity but then why isn't fox airing a xmen teaser if they will be in competition with godzilla. i'm sure we will get a new trailer this febuary or march, i'd be happy with new posters though. what do you guys think, i'm not telling you to stop it, i'm just telling you my opinion on this whole 'stupid marketing' situation.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-29-2014 1:20 PMalso as Rob from ETN has said, we as g-fans are technically promoting the movie, also both xmen and spiderman have given TOO MUCH infomation on their movies.

AdminGodzillaJan-29-2014 1:37 PMMaybe Spider-Man, but I think it's because Sony knows they have a dud on their hands. X-Men had gotten one trailer and some magazine covers with internet articles sprinkled around. Godzilla has gotten one trailer, two magazine articles and also some internet articles sprinkling around. I think they're about even.
The marketing has been fine, thusfar. The thing is I don't know what you guys were expecting. Did you really expect trailers, tie-ins and new news every day of the week leading up to the release? Because that doesn't happen with any movie anymore.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-29-2014 1:52 PMamazing spiderman 2 looks like a movie that is 'been there done that' xmen looked promising but then again some of the magazine covers with the characters look bad and as rob has said in his new video that a there are going to be a lot of deaths, some i can just tell. with godzilla it is getting a lot of overage, from big sites like MTV-IGN and even news articles like forbes and big newspaper companies like the guardian and telgraph (uk newspapers) but we have no idea what the plot is, we have no general idea what the mutos are or what they look like, heck we don't know about the muto in name as it 'could' be a organisation and not the name of the monsters.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-29-2014 7:02 PMI kind of like lack of information. The world has gone mad with spoilers. Watch the Captain America 2 trailer. You almost don't have to watch the movie anymore. They show SO much. I like to know as little as possible about a movie before watching it.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-29-2014 7:09 PMThe Marketing started of great at 1st, but I agree it has slowed down.

MemberMothra LarvaeJan-29-2014 7:11 PMGodzilla is a risky endevour for them. The marketing ploy they are doing is really common in advertising when they are unsure about a product.
You wait to reveal info about it until way late in the game so the hype doesn't simmer down near release. I personally hate it-- because I think its impossible to predict what is going to do well and what isn't in this day in age.
I personally can't stand that marketing style-- I'd much rather have an idea of what I'm getting into. I'm not like normal people, I don't like surprises. I don't like sitting in the theater and having something come out of left field and just annoy the hell out of me when I watch the movie. I like knowing something disappointing before I see the movie so I can get done with those emotions so they won't interupt the film experience when I'm watching it.
In other words, I like to make my peace with something sucking instead of being blind sided by it. I could just imagine how much more pissed I would have been at the end of Spiderman 3 if I had no idea how bad it was going to suck before watching it.
