Godzilla (2014)

Maybe the first two, but the third TF is better than PR.

It's ordeal, the trial to survive

The was still a little bad. Just not mind blowingly bad.

[Chux]

Godzilla didn't get busy.

I thought this movie was boring, and the plot was full of holes. The danger felt too distant to have an impact, outside of Cranston the character were flat stereotypes, and the action was dark and poorly shot. Pacific Rim has a lot of flaws, but it was better than this. The main character happened to be a bomb disposal expert, knowing analogue timers that haven't been used way before he was born? He happens to be everywhere the movie needs him to be, and survives what kills the people around him multiple times over? Ugh. The 1998 Godzilla had a better plot than this one, even if their Godzilla was awful.

Movie about giant fighting monsters has weird plot holes? NO WAY!!!!

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

Why does one give free reign for the other?

[Drewbacca]

You can waste your life deciphering why minute unrealistic details in a movie about a giant lizard battling a giant bat in San Francisco matter so much. I don't care.

[Mzo]

It's possible to make a monster movie that doesn't have a stupid plot. Same for a summer blockbuster or whatever other genre people like to defend with that weak shit. No.

that was supposed to be a "YOU."

Your "plot holes" aren't that. It might be implausible for all of that to go the right way but not impossible.

The biggest gaffe, IMHO, is the 20 mile radius for the nuclear blast (though, I don't recall the actual size of the bomb and even this might still be plausible depending on wind conditions and size of the weapon) which would've been solved more easily if the weapon was defused instead of exploded. That and the whole radiation = food source for the beasts. Sometimes you have to overlook the science a bit in films like this.
