I thought the movie was nearly perfect very befitting of the 60th anniversary of the franchise. It reminded me very much of the 1954 film while still having some of the awesomeness of the later films in the series. Admittedly, I went into it with the memory of Zilla '98 still festering in my mind so my expectations were reigned in. I hear people complaining about the human parts are boring or that the military parts were stupid. Well, duh. This is a proper Godzilla movie and that is part of it especially in the earlier days.
