I saw the trailer last night on the Apple site. It looks hilarious.
i am SO there!! I’ll bring my asian gal-friend!!
Jumping up and down in excitement!
Craziest thing i’ve seen in hours.
that looks pretty damn incredible! gotta love the japanese…..
This was actually on YouTube in its entirety for a while but has recently been taken down. It’s a pretty bizarre film, although it’s not as manic as the trailer would suggest–a lot of it is dryly humorous mockmentary footage of the Big Man’s alter ego. The ending is a real hoot for fans of the Japanese giant monster/ultra-hero genre.
The best words for this is: “What the cha?”
That looks like just the right kind of bad.
Don’t forget his great, and unassuming secret identity…- Mt. Fuji!
-that’s no snow on top- IT’S DANDRUFF!
Someone tell them to paint those weights and check those arcs! Pretty rough is all I can say.
Yes.
I have seen this too and the trailer is somewhat misleading.
While entertaining, most of the monster silliness is all at the end.
I wonder why it gets an R. I tend to figure that Asian action films get their ratings moved up a notch based on MPAA racism.
I have a kaiju loving nine year-old who would keel over with joy to see something like this.
I saw this at SIGGRAPH and laughed my ass off. I’m so glad to see this coming out for English speaking audiences!
Wait, no. It’s probably a lot funnier NOT knowing what the hell is going on.
Life’s too short.
This is awesome.
Fun stuff, A bit of Zelig, and Hancock with a Monsters vs. Aliens climax.
I don’t think it’s MPAA racism so much as the fact that one of the monsters has an eyeball on the end of its penis.
Looks awesome. I wish the characters in more super hero movies looked this fun. I especially like the guy at 1:16 with the Frank Finkerton styled combover.
Who doesn’t love giant monsters? I’m in!
What band is playing in the trailer?
