Definitely takes an open mind to enjoy properly, but this is a solid modern re-telling of the original Godzilla story. The ineffecient, beurocratic government response to the Godzilla threat is the real obstacle here, and is done brilliantly, although Godzilla is properly terrifying in a fresh and unique way, too. The team of underdogs who decide to tackle the Godzilla threat all on their own consists of likeable characters, which is rare in any monster or kaiju movie. The way Godzilla is finally dealt with is both clever and gimmicky; you'll either love it or hate it.
Godzilla himself takes his time to get going and start wreaking proper havoc, but that doesn't mean this film is slow-paced. The scrambling government officials and their comedic antics allow things to move at a speed that should keep one's attention.
