To carry what The Villain was saying further, I thought the question was whether Godzilla (2014) would be the second greatest horror blockbuster? I don't think most people believe that the Godzilla reboot will even touch Jaws as it will not. Jaws will always be one of the greatest horror movies, Godzilla (2014) will not be. Is it a good movie? In my opinion, yes. Will it go down as a horror or science fiction great? In my opinion, definitely not. Though as The Villain mentioned amount of money made does not equal quality. Some masterpieces were commercial and critical failures in their own time, while some, quite frankly, terrible movies made huge amounts of money. The debate at hand is whether this will be the second greatest horror blockbuster.
