Will Jurassic World pull-off what i think godzilla was trying to do?(unsuccesfully)

I am just going to say right off the bat, GODZILLA IS THE MOST UNDER-RATED MOVIE OF THE PAST DECCADE! Godzilla had a bunch of hype, came to theaters...and that was it, the movie was barried, JUST BARRIED! However i feel that they where trying to really GO SOMEWHERE with the film, i feel that they were trying to start something...real

Now i hope that Jurassic World is a famouse movie, considering that the previous jp films where famouse(and imfamous) but so was gojira...

if you were around when jurassic park was out than you know what i mean about being famouse...i still want those jp cups...

i hope, because you relize (as i stated) that godzilla pretty much flopped, it went no were...sadly

universal knows how to keep the hype train going. legendary not so much. at least in my opinion

In all respect to the Godzilla movie because I liked it though, I think that it was a "test" movie to see how people would react to the movie and I dont think that the reaction was so bad...Legendary keeps the hype for Godzilla 2 that will have legend monsters(Rodan,Ghidorah and Mothra) and they gonna spend and get the same time a lot of money. But as DinoBoy22 said Universal knows very well how to keep their movies on the spot ;)

Something Real

DR. JONES - What a very insightful topic! I certainly hope that universal manage to present Jurassic World in such a manner as to draw a great deal of attention - all the better to keep the franchise powering ahead strong! I understand your feelings with regards to Edwards' Godzilla; it seems as though there was a great deal of exposure and then it simply burned out. However, I have faith that Jurassic World will come out strong and move forward with great momentum! :)

I've got to agree (Keep in mind, I haven't seen Godzilla 2014 yet) Godzilla had a Ton of hype...

And then it hit and then you hear nothing. Which, In some sense makes sense. Y'see, Kaiju films have never done well over here, Take Pacific Rim. Great film, Good casting, Fair Plot... But it didn't make the mark.

Same happened with Godzilla. 

Most of it being Location. Godzilla and Pacific rim hit it big overseas, But not so much in north america. 

JW already has one foot into the Makings of becoming the Next Block buster hit... (With that one foot being mainly the fact that this is a new JP Sequel and other hype from universal)

However, Theres always the chance that the plot (Which seems interesting as is, But due to Myself not knowing Exactly how it will go down, I can't gauge if it'll hit or miss.) Could suck, Horribly and the Franchise goes down in a burning crumpled mess. 

But, It's unlikely, As, a Nestolgia factor could kick in and many People could say,

"I recall seeing Jurassic park as a kid" (Or such)

Theres going to be a huge Reliance on that... But Keep in mind, Robo Cop relied too heavily on it, and we all know how bad that ended. 

Right now, JW odds are 50 - 50... To long time fans. 

To the General public, It's around 60 - 40 But still a chance of Flopping.
