Epic, it shows the people involved are concerned with representating Godzilla properly by paying an homage to the original

Excellent news! This is the kind of respect that Hollywood should always be having when they reboot classic movies & icons, especially such a classic monster film icon as Godzilla.

I'm starting to have more faith in this film now that they actually have Japanese actors in it like Ken Watanabe and Akira Takarada

I love that. I just hope they don't screw up Godzilla's look.
