Which movie is better?
For Godzilla, I'm going for the monster in general, here...not his insane recreations where he fights different incarnations of himself and other monsters.
Godzilla:
-Original movie was a massive box-office success in Japan.
-Broke through an electric fence without taking any damage.
-Had the proper length for any disaster movie (Approx. 95 mins).
-Has 20 somewhat movies.
-Is a freaking dinosaur.
-Steady moving plot and interesting characters.
Cloverfield:
-Has a great entrance (Blows something up).
-A commercial success as well as a box-office success.
-Managed to nearly destroy all of Manhattan.
-Has giant parasite thingmajigs.
-Characters are funny, to an extent.
-Fate is unclear.
Honestly, I have to go with Godzilla on this. Godzilla's bigger than Clover, and the effects from the 1954 movie were quite good for its time.
Cloverfield, however, despite the fact that I love the movie, had generally irritating characters and an almost non-existent plot. Honestly, to recreate this movie, give someone a camera and have them say "Oh sh!t" into it for 75 minutes, because that's basically Cloverfield's plot.
Who do you vote for?
