I am a fan of the Monsterverse. Having said that, I liked Godzilla (2014) over all the other films save Kong: Skull Island. After the last couple of films, I went in with lowered expectations for this. What I ended up viewing was an unexpected surprise.
The pacing is MUCH quicker in this movie. The monsters take up the majority of the screentime with minimal focus on the humans. This made a huge difference.
My main complaint with the film is a minor quibble of personal taste. I am a Godzilla fan over Kong. Kong is the focal point of the story, with Godzilla only showing up when necessary (this happens several times, mind you.) I also found the mystery kaiju baddie to be slightly lame, but when you see the last shot of Kong in the movie, the choice made sense.
I have seen the film twice. It did not grow stale on second viewing!
