'Godzilla 2' or 'Pacific Rim 2': Which One Would You Prefer

Let;s pretend you can only like the new Godzilla or last year;s Pacific Rim. Not both or neither. It;s easy for me, because I actually have a huge preference. I was really bored during the latter and on the edge of my seat with wonder during the former. Guillermo del Toro;s Kaiju-vs.-Jaeger movie has cool-looking visuals done unimaginatively, whereas Gareth Edwards does amazing and clever things with the frame in his reboot of the King of the Monsters. I say reboot becase with expectations for a huge opening this weekend, Godzilla is sure to get a sequel. Many fans hope it;ll pit the giant lizard against Mothra. I think it should be a creature that doesn;t fly, because we just got that with the MUTOs. Maybe it ought to be Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. That would sure show the fans and makers of Pacific Rim howto do a monster-robot battle. Of course, both movies were actually made by Legendary Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros., so there;s no reason for competition. Yet there are sure to be many who;d prefer Pacific Rim 2, in spite of the fact that its total domestic gross was about what Godzillawill earn in its opening weekend (name recognition does matter!) and the fact that it received slightly worse reviews (both are fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). Legendary would love to do a sequel to Pacific Rim, but not just to do one. Slashfilm relays a recent quote from the production company;s CEO, Tomas Tull, where he says they;re in no hurry and will only do a parttwi if del Toro has another great story to tell. If we can crack the story, we all think it’s great and it’s him at the helm, then fantastic. But right now there’s nothing going on officially to proclaim, he said. Meanwhile, Godzilla 2 will probably be green lit by Monday morning, with no script or even an idea in place. How about this, though: the two properties combine as a battle between Godzilla and the Jaegers, but Edwards is in charge of the former and del Toro is in charge of the latter. Is there any technology out yet that will allow two filmmakers to compete against each other in a single project? Maybe like what Ken Kwapis and Marisa Silver did for He Said, She Said, except more intertwined and action packed. Which franchise should be extended, if only one,Godzilla or Pacific Rim? Here are some responses received so far via Twitter: @thefilmcynic Godzilla!! — robertliefeld (@robertliefeld) May 16, 2014 @thefilmcynic Godzilla. There are 29 movies and they always find ways to make it interesting. Pacific Rim, just looks like a one and done. — August Macias (@August_Macias) May 16, 2014 @thefilmcynic Godzilla till we get Mothra spinoffs. — justin robinson (@TheJSRobinson) May 17, 2014 @ErikDavis A GODZILLA sequel actually makes sense in the world they set up, PACIFIC RIM needs to stay dead. — Daniel Bergamini (@dberga) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis both. Why not? If I chose only one, GODZILLA — Adrian Charlie (@Adrian_Charlie) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis ‘Godzilla’ by a country mile. — Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis Godzilla. Pacific Rim was fun, but I keep forgetting it exists. Godzilla made me cheer and literally squeal. — Kristy Puchko (@KristyPuchko) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis A Godzilla sequel wouldn;t have to change much in my opinion. Pacific Rim however, would need a total re-evaluation. — Rob Trench (@robtrench) May 16, 2014 @mjsamps @ErikDavis Godzilla, though it could use some of Pacific Rim;s humor. — Robert Levin (@Rlevin85) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis Godzilla. I liked Pacific Rim, but I feel like that;s as good as that premise will get. — Matt Kraus (@MattKraus813) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis Seriously? Pacific Rim. No contest. — Tracksounds (@tracksounds) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis Pacific Rim — MizCaramelVixen.com (@MizCaramelVixen) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis I think currently Pacific shows more promise for a sequel that could capitalize on all the world building of the first. — George A. Hickman (@popmortem) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis I liked Godzilla, but would want more Pacific Rim all the way. — Vivek Bhat (@vivekbhat) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis Pac Rim. I thought the writing was handled better in that one. — Trevor T. Trujillo (@TrevorTrujillo) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis ;Pacific Rim; for sure...at least there was more than 20 minutes of monster footage in it... — Jake Johnson (@jacobecody) May 16, 2014 @thefilmcynic why can;t we have both? — Tyler Mager (@tylermager) May 16, 2014 @thefilmcynic both — RyanB (@TheChewDefense) May 16, 2014 @thefilmcynic Is too much to ask for both? Universal (Legendary;s new distributor) can release Godzilla 2 and Warner Bros. can do Pac Rim 2. — Keith Adams (@BigBrother1988) May 16, 2014 @ErikDavis DON;T MAKE ME CHOOSE! — Bryan Loy (@TenBucksAThrow) May 16, 2014 @davidehrlich @ErikDavis Let them fight? — Keith Phipps (@kphipps3000) May 16, 2014 Join in the next discussion: and
