I loved it, and I lost interest in Godzilla movies sometime in the ‘80s.

Without spoiling anything, this movie has engrossing human storylines - which makes the movie, since it’s been a long time since seeing the best CGI destroying Tokyo was more than a yawn - and takes Godzilla back to its genesis which is not merely atomic weapons but also the Japanese experience of defeat, death, poverty, then optimism and rebuilding which a new atomic war - in monster form - threatens to destroy all over again.

My wife was riveted, and she thinks monster movies, and all those who watch them, are as stupid as paramecium.
