Ignoring the political screed for the moment, I'm also looking forward to the movie. Just haven't decided if I want to see it opening night, or will wait till the rush has died down a bit.
I've seen SOOOO many "leaked pictures" of the monster that I doubt anything I see till I actually see the movie itself. Still, that thing on top is credible because if you watch the "glimpse" of the monster you see in the official trailer it does appear to have a "vestigial leg" hanging at about mid-body.
Geez, what the heck is it supposed to be? Certainly not based on any known life form on Earth. The bottom critter is supposed to be one of the parasites the critter on top scrapes off its body as it brushes against the buildings in Manhattan. They're supposedly the size of large dogs.
1) Slusho is a very tasty, somewhat addictive "Slurpee" style drink from Japan. It's secret ingredient is something they call "Seabed Nectar." No one knows what this is, but it seems to promote cell growth, heightened awareness, increased strength and improved senses.
2) Slusho is owned by Tagruato, a company specializing in deep sea drilling (mostly for petroleum exploration). Tagruato is targeted by an environmental group, TIDOWave, for being ecologically irresponsible.
3) Chuai Station, a deep sea drilling rig off the coast of North America, is not positioned over any known petroleum deposits.
4) On December 27th, video footage released on the net revealed the Chuai Station was mysteriously attacked and sunk. Tagruato at first denied anything happened, and then acknowledged there was a problem and blamed TIDOWave.
5) TIDOWave proclaims innocence, and no one has yet explained why debris from the wreckage was somehow vertically ejected straight up out of the water. There was no explosion, only some kind of unidentified roaring sound.

Fantastic 4 blew donkey. Even Jessica Alba was unappealing.
I wanna go see it simply because it looks different in its style. Like having sea bass grilled over the burning corpses of tree gnomes. You've had sea bass before, but not cooked like that.
The people worried about plot and character development forget this one thing.... it's a FRIGGIN'MONSTER MOVIE! The premise is simple and can be described in 6 words...party, BOOM, monster, scream, run away! I love popcorn movies for that specific reason. Keep it simple, blow shit up, and forget about reality for 90 minutes. I personally can't wait to see it in a full theater this weekend.

Dude, you ain't right, Funny as all get up but ain't right
I'll have to check him out. I tend to like the off kilter Scifi movies.
I still think one of the best films was THX 1138.
I even liked The Mist though many did not. The movie wasn't about the monsters. It was about the people.
I have a group of friends with whom I go to see movies on Friday night. We meet up, have a pint, and to watch the new release. We rate everything on the Eragon scale.
Eragon is the worst movie in recent history. It absolutely sucked. Therefore we rate movies on a scale of 1-5 on the Eragon scale. Balls of Fury was a 1. This means that it was only one step better than Eragon. Pathfinder was a 2. It sucked but not more than Balls of Fury. Above 5 and it was passable to good. Shoot 'Em Up was a 6. It wasn't great, but it was what it was.
Until there is a movie worse than Eragon, we will continue to use that film as the bellweather of suck. If you haven't seen it, save your eight bucks and squat naked over a mirror and stare at your taint.
FB...don't expect much from Ultraman. It was a tv series along the lines of early Godzilla flicks. In fact, the modern Power Rangers are the direct descendants of that style of Japanese tv show. PURE cheese...
