Ok I just recently got out of an argument-discussion and fulfilled that topic dude's wish to go to a discussion that I want, and yep lets have a real discussion here:

Since we all heard Godzilla is 350 feet, I thought about the trailer and when Godzilla stood by the Bank of America building which is clearly 779 feet, I was pretty dang sure Godzilla looked taller than the building.  But mostly its probably not a final scene shot. And if the bulding was destroyed and fell down or sumthin, then it would look more destroyed. But idk what do you guys think? Unfinal scene? Building fallen? Failed sizing? Lol

Possibly the head is bigger or the body of Godzilla

I'm honestly stumped when it comes to this question.

Godzilla defies the laws of the universe. It happens.

Ugh...

I don't think it really matters, but for the sake of argument it might just be the angle from which the shot takes place. It looks like Godzilla might be a little further out from the building from a high angle, making him look similar in height as the building.

GMAN2887 I really wanna agree with you, but I just studied the trailer again, Godzilla looks only about 2 blocks away from the building but still looks bigger than the building. Just watch and im pretty sure youll see too

It's still from a very high angle, even as he pass the building going down you can see streets and the tops of other shorter buildings. So it's hard to tell.

Again, I don't think it matters. A lot of Godzilla movies never get the scale right and the '98 movie was the worst offender. As long as it looks good in the movie I don't really care that much and really don't believe his height is that big of a deal.

Maybe all the HALO jump scene is just a Ford Brody´s Nightmare about Godzilla walking sleep.

One word: perspective. If you watch the trailer again, as the trooper descends, the building becomes larger than Godzilla as his vision ofthe building becomes parallel with the sight of Godzilla. It's just the angle he's at, that makes Godzilla look bigger.

ya i agree with king_of_zombies@. like the part in the trailer where Ford jumps off the railroad track is probably when he first encountered godzilla. and the halo jump is a dream and turns into a NIGHTMARE

Hahaha. I love this, everyone is over-reacting. You are all talking like 350 feet is small! By looking at these threads you would think the big G was all like:

catzilla

 

When in reality, he's HUGE!!! He is like 3.5 BLUE WHALES!!!

Too many variables to know for sure. Camera angle, depth of field on shot, artistic choice, Godzilla could be walking over huge mounds of rubble for all we know. With all the smoke and debris who can tell from this shot. Here's a thought let's stop trying to crack the code and continue to be patient and see the movie May 16th 2014. Instead of endless debates about stuff we know very little about. At this point we have hundreds of topics on a film that has barely been marketed and we already have hundreds of discussions on the same tired subjects. It's becoming quite pathetic at this point. Let's wait til we officially know more and see more before we try to analyze and break everything down.

I agree with Chris, he could be about 2 blocks away and........, his vision is parallel.

Well guys if you rewatch the footage, Godzilla is not right next to the building, he's a bit off in the distance. Also, the building itself is on it's SIDE. It's probably COLLAPSED! And also, it's a movie....? Zilla was even worse about changing his fucking size.
