What the fuck, what movies are we talking about. First of all Cloverfield can't be compared as a character to Godzilla, Godzilla is a legend and Cloverfield is just a same concept shitty copy of it.
And if you mean the american shitfesthollywoodmovie Godzilla that came out in the 90s, then I find Cloverfield better as a movie. But If you compare Cloverfield to the japanese versions of Godzilla, then I definetly prefer japanese Godzilla movies.
