Pacific Rim vs Godzilla

Godzilla.

Pacific Rim was so cheesy with the story line and acting.

I vote Pacific Rim, I thought it was fun, even if it was cheesy, but most importantly it was fun.

I think Pacific Rim was a much better movie but some aspects I didn't like.

1. The main character Raleigh Becket is the main focus, but probably the most boring character in the movie (kinda the same problem as Godzilla). Generic American hero.

2. The special effects are sort of, abit so-so, even if the acual sequences themselfs are better than anything in similar movies. Particularly water battles. The water looked really shit.

The side story between Idris Elba and Rinko Kikruchi was probably the most interesting and most human element of the movie that makes it more than a bunch of shit just happening. Sadly, because Idris is black and Rinko is Asain, Del Toro (a well documented racist) didn't cast them as the lead characters.

I like both ..... but I prefer seriousness rather than cheezy/campy

Both kicked ass, but I'm going for Godzilla. Just a huge Godzilla fan, plus they left it open for a sequel.

Both films were disappointing, but at least pacific rim was original.

Pacific Rim by a mile. Both had poorly written characters, stale acting and stories without much depth. Pacific Rim at least made up for this with constant action, creativity and a bit of originality. Godzilla just dragged along for almost two hours, giving us nothing we hadn't seen before, until it finally giving us what we came to see.

Pacific Rim was far more creative and action-packed. Godzilla was just, well Godzilla.

Both weren't that great.

I saw both in IMAX, but it's Pacific Rim that had a huge smile plastered on my face the entire movie. It's basically the monster movie I've always wanted to see since I was a little kid. Godzilla was pretty good too, but I thought the plotting was uneven and there were many times through the movie that had my eyes rolling. The fight sequences when they finally allowed them to play out without cutting away was glorious though. My 9 year old said Godzilla was the best movie she's ever saw so there's that :P

You folks know what Godzilla and Bryan Cranston have in common in the movie "Godzilla"? They were both barely in it. If anything, the flick should have been titled "People" because that is what I saw in the vast majority of the film. Boring, or rather, completely uninteresting people doing very little to try and win me over while taking up valuable screen time. Why watch people watch gigantic monsters fight through broken windows, television screens, or otherwise obscured means? A friend of mine even stated that if you take out all the people in "Godzilla", absolutely nothing would have changed i.e. the movie would still have the same outcome. Cutting away right when the action is about to start is most definitely obnoxious as well. All in all, as a Godzilla fan, I got far more entertainment out of "Pacific Rim". Can't believe I shelled out extra for a 3D showing...

Godzilla (2014) was a pretty weak Godzilla film. I didn't hate it, but I was bored for a solid hour in the middle of it.

Meanwhile, Pacific Rim was hokey and sometimes completely cringe-worthy (those scientists are the worst!)...but at least it was stupid action-packed fun. For all of its faults, it had some memorable lines, Idris Elba, giant robots with giant swords, and Idris Elba. Idris Elba.

So I guess I preferred Pacific Elba?
