5. Destruction
This is certainly where the advances in CGI and set design will help in the Godzilla reboot. Give us a monster that destroys everything in its path and not the 1998 version where he barely destroyed anything. All Godzilla did in that film was whack a few buildings with his tail and then inexplicably get himself stuck on the Brooklyn Bridge... Really? It was even the USA's own military that stupidly managed to destroy the Chrysler Building ''That is a negative impact. I repeat a negative impact'' Yes thanks for that. When Godzilla crashes through a city let us see the carnage he leaves behind. This is what Godzilla is mainly known for, being able to totally decimate a entire city with ease would create some amazing and potentially terrifying visuals. Finding the balance between the two will be key in creating the fear that we should feel whenever we can hear that iconic roar, and not to sound too Jurassic Park but also the sound of giant steps incoming would also help. Rumours have been circulating that Godzilla won't be the only monster in the film. This will be another key step in what makes this film work or what makes it awful. Being able to find the time for Godzilla to make his mark whilst telling a good story, and then having another monster show up sounds like a lot to put into one film and make it work. However, if we can get an epic showdown between two huge titans it could be a very entertaining part of the film. Whilst this scenario would be ideally suited as the climax of the film it could be an ideal story arc for the audience/characters to warm to Godzilla as he fights this other huge threat. Believe or not, in traditional Godzilla lore he has always been intended to be a good guy. So depending on whatever direction they choose, how we feel about Godzilla before the end credits roll should be very interesting.
