X-Men Days of Future Past vs Godzilla 2014

I'll get back to you when I see DoFP.

@k4tzm4n: Hmmmm. Understandable. I personally enjoyed Godzilla more but i can see the appeal in x men.

Marketing: Godzilla

The actual movie: DoFP

Overall maybe x men was a better movie but Godzilla had a bigger highlight point.

I didn't like DOFP that much after seeing it the second time,Haven't seen Godzilla and probably won't see it

Both films have their flaws in some form or another, I'll go with X:DoFP.

Godzilla was as absolute snooze-fest, in my opinion, but that's maybe because I just don't care much of Giant monster/Robot. X-Men wins for me, as of now it's my favorite movie of the year.

I could go on and on for paragraphs, but I think I'll keep it simple and use bullet points. Anyway, I loved DoFP and only enjoyed Godzilla.

Godzilla positives

• Some excellent cinematography and visuals.
• Strong performances from Cranston and Olsen.
• Slow approach successfully built the hype for Godzilla.
• The final fight.

Godzilla negatives

• The most compelling character -- Cranston -- barely gets any time.
• A vast majority of the focus is on a character with absolutely zero charisma. This is only one bullet point but it's a pretty big negative.
• Watanabe and his colleague are purely exposition.
• I don't mind inspiration, but some seemed blatantly taken from Jurassic Park.
• Over the top score.

DoFP positives

• Superb performances (most notably from McAvoy).
• Really enjoyed the directing for a few specific scenes.
• Quicksilver made all of us eat our words. His scene is pure joy.
• Wolverine is technically the main character but doesn't steal the spotlight at all. Feels more like a supporting character and that's great because he's already had PLENTY of focus.
• We get just enough of the future to appreciate how dire the situation is and it produces jaw-dropping fights.
• Doesn't waste time trying to juggle too many characters. Focuses on a core group and we learn the basics about the rest through their actions.
• Massively cheerworthy ending.
• Hype-building credits scene.

DoFP negatives

• Dinklage is underused.
• Feeding us ANY explanation of a character's new power would be nice.
• Personal gripe: Colossus still gets no love.

@wolverine08: Just heard that it was apparently Hugh's choice to have the "full nude" scene in DOFP. It wasn't originally written like that.

apparently he said "Wolverine doesn't wear boxers or briefs."

@k4tzm4n: Yeah man. I said it earlier but I think McAvoy deserves a best actor nom. Some of his scenes are amazing. The plane scene is a go-to one but one of the other scenes where he's like

"I didn't trade my powers for my legs, I traded them so I could sle--"...amazing.

Days of Future Past.

Godzilla's last 20 minutes are pretty much the only reason to see it.

Now that I've seen both, I can say that I liked DoFP more.

I still liked Godzilla though (and this is coming from someone who had no prior experience with it).
