My wife disliked (maybe even hated) the film.
I enjoyed it. Maybe I'm in a mindless frame of mind and don't care about watching films that make no sense...
One thing about the film that might put people off was it had lots of random scenes that told the story through the eyes of different characters.

How is Godzilla so quiet? Consider:
1. Here is a sample kaiju statblock. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/kaiju/kaiju-agyra
2. It colossal, has a Dexterity of 25 (+7 bonus), and has 32 hit dice.
3. The Stealth check penalty for being colossal is -16. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/stealth
4. If it put 32 ranks in Stealth, it would have a +23 Stealth check.

I honestly can't believe anyone paid to see this. I guess if you had to see it, the big screen would be the only way but why would anyone have to see this? Not one thing was appealing about it in any of the trailers I saw. Meh, I also thought Pacific Rim would be incredibly terrible (and I avoided it) so maybe I just don't get 'giant is cool' or whatever the thought is. Oh, and dinosaurs. I'm not 5 years old anymore so they just don't do anything for me.

I enjoyed it. Not going to change your life, but I thought it was very apt at capturing the appropriate tone, one that feels reverent to cheesy movies of a bygone age but accessible to a modern audience.
And it's been big at the box office, fairly well reviewed, and they've announced plans for a sequel, so clearly somebody liked it.

In as much as one can, I think they treated giant atomic monsters realistically. Yes, we already had a kaiju with an EMP in Pacific Rim, but in Godzilla the EMP actually works properly.
Jumping from the up close action to seeing it on TVs was okay once, maybe even twice, but the third time killed it. Also, too much focus on puny human ants.
Other than that it was an enjoyable movie.

I really hate the 'lots of people liked it so it must be good' stuff but I've talked about why a lot already. So this time I'll just mumble a bit ... Hitler ... Salem ... Crusades ...
