This is one of those movies that stands the test of time. it's the perfect amount of new mixed with homage to the original 1954 gojira movie. the love that was put into this film is astounding. the attention to detail, the crafting, the aesthetic are all picture perfect.
I even love that for the design they decided to base the look entirely off of the stiff rigid motion of the original suit actor. the face of Godzilla almost looks mildly comical because it's just so cute, and then you see that giant face poking out of the water chasing you and it's no longer cute just downright terrifying. the suspense they are able to Garner out of this film is fantastic.
it also pays homage to all the other great Kaiju movies that Godzilla spawned so it doesn't discount the camp that itself created. and thankfully it also doesn't lean too much into it.
I also find it hilarious that when the director of the 2014 movie saw Godzilla - 1 he was filled with rage and jealousy and said "this is what a Godzilla movie should be"
