I support this in every way.

I think that's one of the defining things about 'Godzilla', and one of the more egregious omissions the last time around...
he did have a "breath attack" last time, but he only used it twice and it was more of a "heat ray" sort of deal which exploded the cars he breathed on. you can see a shimmer when he does it.
apologies for the horrendous quality, but you can see the shimmer when he breaths, and the cars exploding from the heat
Last time around I thought "Godzilla" just yelled really loudly and blew an already existing fire around, as sort of a lame 'homage' to the real Godzilla's breath weapon?
I'm not seeing it, Blackhoof. Pause it at 6 seconds(while GINO is starting to crouch), those cars are already on fire.
It seems more that Zilla/GINO exhales something flammable than uses heat breath. The only shimmer I see is coming from the rapidly expanding fire, not the mouth.

Right!
This time I'm pretty sure he's got a 'proper' Atomic Breath Weapon!

I saw the toys in store the other week, they help me curb the shakes.

The movie thus far has been getting pretty good reviews so I'm happily optimistic Anytime a studio has the confidence to pre-screen their film its usually a decent sign.

That really varies, depending on how restricted the pre-screening is. It wouldn't be the first time that a film only allowed 'critics' who've agreed to give positive reviews in early.
Not to say I'm expecting them to have done this. From the cast we have, and the trailers we've seen, it'd be pretty hard to mess this one up.

I'm really getting at the noticable difference between movies that are prescreened and ones that aren't. Ones that aren't can pretty much always be pegged as ones even the people who made the film don't think is very good.

It doesn't appear that the studio has been 'cherry picking' the pre-release reviews at all.
It has been getting, happily enough, a lot of "B" ratings!
I convinced The Wife to come home a little early tomorrow so she can get The Boy off of the school bus, freeing me to go catch a matinee and not worry about having to rush home.
Just saw it, the film's okay overall but seriously slowed. We're talking Supermassive Levels of Plot hole. Transformers 2 had less plot holes and a classis popcorn flick like ID4 makes this look like the screenwriter was in a chemically induced coma.
I'd put it on a par with Man of Steel, both have their moments (i'd argue MoS had more) but a bit too stoopid.
