sh! someone might hear you say that and then tell you how wrong you are!
better pacing is a good term here. while the original takes it's sweet time to get going (a la KING KONG, which it shares far more in common with than BEAST, btw) this one really gets moving.
gotta love Burr's performance as well.

I love this movie! I love it even more-so than the original, though Gojira is justifiably the better film. The way that Joseph Levine patched this thing together so that it would be more accessible to western audiences was brilliant. And who better than to narrate this terrible tragedy to the world than the great, Raymond Burr.
Godzilla would not exist in America if it weren't for Raymond Burr (please try to understand the spirit of this statement, and not try to pick it apart. You all know what I mean by it).

Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Since we did not see Tomo at the end with Steve Martin, I guess we could assume he was killed during Godzilla's rampage (which is sad, since I always liked Tomo).
In seeing this again recently, both Terry Morse and Terry Morse, Jr did a great job in editing this. I would think it is not easy splicing two movies together and making it a winner, but they managed to do it.
And I wonder if there was this big brouhaha in 1955-56 over lack of a trailer for this one.

This movie is equally as great as the original and is the best Americanization not only for Godzilla, but also tokusatsu films in general. Any Americanization that came after it, was terrible!

while I agree the that KOTM Americanization is the best, there are plenty that aren't terrible:
Mothra vs. Godzilla (solid dub, and the Frontier Missile sequence)
Monster Zero (Nick Adams's performance)
Godzilla 2000 (an improvement on the Japanese cut)
Gamera vs. Barugon (so much more briskly paced)
