I was curious about that too.
Wonder if maybe that's what his "breath weapon" now does ?

Maybe. It could be a side effect too. It would be a nice explanation of why the military doesn't obliterate him with air strikes, nothing flying can get to him (kind of the Battle LA metric when their skimmers just blew anything that got close out of the air.)
Looks good and has some good actors in it. Also looks very very serious.

This is looking very good. I like the idea that nuke tests in the Pacific were actually attempts to kill it. Makes us seem a lot less like evil geniuses, with the whole "we found paradise! Let's bomb it!" thing.
Great point. I bet you there will be zero jokes in this film, cf. Man of Steel.

The impression I got was that Godzilla must have thought someone wanted to play "go fetch" with him, so he caught the planes, and then threw them back for a second round. Can you imagine him thumping the ground with his tail like an excited puppy?

What what? There are other monsters in the film. In the licensed materials that have been showing up, they are called mutos. For example, look at that wierd bug leg thing at 2:06.

As I understand it there are specifically (two) NEW monsters in the film, I suppose there is technically room for more monsters (which wouldn't be 'new'), but in any case, there are at least three Kaiju (Godzilla included) in this film.

Also, no longer a Godzilla. GINO is now named Zilla canonically.

Toho owns the rights to American Godzilla/GINO. They put the character into Godzilla: Final Wars, declared the character(but not the movie itself as far as I know) part of the Japanese Godzilla universe/canon, and changed the name to Zilla.
In addition, it's not a Godzillasaurus.

There are a number of flying creatures in the canon, so I assume it's one of them knocking out the planes. Giving Godzilla something to fight other than the military is a fundamental improvement from the last one.
I liked the teaser trailer more. This one -- with Bryan Cranston's crazy-guy-with-a-theory ranting straight out of central casting -- has me a little less enthused. Just getting a bit of a Jerry Bruckheimer vibe from this one.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's turned off by the rant that was leaving teeth marks on everything.

Also, why do they have to use that buzz-whump sound int eh trailers! It is like the modern version of the Wilhelm scream. It has just become a sound editors joke or something.
