There are various quirky and tropey bits that will raise a smile for the seasoned viewer of this sort of thing (e.g. the moment when the sweet old supporting character postpones their first holiday in thirty years in order to look for the monster: they might as well have him followed around by a robed man with a scythe), but on the whole it passes the time well enough. There is a sense in which most of the film is just filling time until the climax, when the Rhedosaurus runs amok in the streets of New York, but it does so fairly engagingly; also manages to find a half-decent explanation as to why they don't just bomb the monster to death (Devlin and Emmerich, please take note). Wheeled on for monster-extermination duties is a young Lee van Cleef, who seems slightly annoyed to be appearing in this kind of film. Great fun to watch when you're about seven; stands up pretty well for older viewers, too.

Reason? Mainly because, for the vast majority of this particular movie, I couldn't tell what was going on: lots of rumblings, sure, a few monster noises bit actually being able to see what was happening? Nope.
It also seems to waste most of its cast: Bryan Cranston doesn't do much before making his exit, a pre Scarlet-Witch Elizabeth Olson spends most of her (limited) screen time looking worried and Ken Watanabe does nothing but seemingly mope around the place.
And, finally, what call the movie Godzilla when he's barely in it? If anything, it should have been called MUTOs ...
