I think a lot of people complaining about the dialogue are mostly referring to how it "doesn't make sense" that finding all the monsters will save the Earth...
...and it doesn't...
...BUT, that's also out of context. I feel like Vera Farmiga might wind up being the villain of the film. I think she's gonna be posing as someone interested in finding all the kaiju in order to track them and defend against them in order to ensure humanity's survival, but her goal is going to be a massive culling. Is it a worn out plot idea? Absolutely. Avengers, Kingsman, X-Men, Batman Begins (and Dark Knight Rises), etc etc etc. But does that make it BAD? No. That fits right in with like....a lot of kaiju movies.
I don't KNOW that's going to be the case, but I kinda feel like that might be the case the more I watch it (Kyle Chandler says "You're out of your "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" mind," and she says "I'm sorry but this is the only way," and Millie Bobby Brown calls her a monster)
It's gonna be funny if people are cool with "We're an alien race so we're using kaiju to wipe out humanity," (ie: Monster Zero, DAM, Gigan, Megalon, Mechagodzilla, TOMG, GFW, possibly the anime?...and that's just Godzilla. Most Gamera movies have that plot.) but NOT cool with, "We believe humanity should be destroyed therefore we're going to unleash kaiju in order to do it."
