I missed the more majestic cinematography of the last two Godzilla movies, but overall, this was served well by how much it leaned into the silliness. It wasn't trying to be an apocalypse movie, or even a disaster movie. It was a monster fight.

I thought it was a great choice how they made Hong Kong feel so much like a miniature city from the classic Godzilla movies. I didn't realize how tired I was of "fun" blockbuster movies taking cues from 9/11 for their scenes of city destruction.

If this is a big enough hit to create a sequel, it's fun to think how nutty they'll have to go to escalate things from this one.

Also, man it was funny how quickly the humans decide on some nonsensical solution to a problem that works EXACTLY as planned. I mean, all modern action blockbuster tend to have these moments, but they cranked it to 11 here.
