This movie is an homage to the very-campy Godzilla movies made in Japan during the 80s and 90s, which became exceedingly fanciful, and eventually resembled anime-style fantasy. Never mind that technologies which can't possibly exist are commonly used, nor that no country on earth could afford to build such things, much less any private company.
Action scenes are entertaining and even brilliantly imaginative at times. Godzilla's face displays emotion for the first time, in a way which is not corrosive to the character. In "reality" this contest would end the moment Godzilla used his "atomic breath". The producers have come up with a decent if fanciful device to balance the odds.
Intermediate scenes are tedious, and feature the same kind of low-octane humor and affable cast we've seen so many times (in Transformers, Pacific Rim, etc.)
I wish I could give this a 6.5, but I can't give it a 7. From a lifelong Godzilla fan.
