I must be the only person that really liked this movie, and I'm not a fan of monster movies.
To me, most monster movies feel cheesy as hell, but this movie felt more...real. I liked the characters, even if the big name was only in it for a short while. I thought the lead was great. The story kept rolling at a pace that held my attention and I enjoyed the action sequences. But, my favorite part of this movie were the scenes between monster and lone human. I thought they were genuinely terrifying and awesome. The train bridge with the MUTOs? Amazing juxtaposition. And I'm okay with Godzilla being the "good" monster. Not that he cares about humans, he is more like a god killing his quarry while the ants look on and hope they survive the epic battle.
So, I liked it a lot. I'd go watch it again. I was thoroughly entertained.
