I'd heard rumors before this movie came out that Toho was basically going to just continue the VS/heisei series and use this film to pick up where Godzilla vs. Destroyer left off. I was somewhat disappointed to find out that they were wiping the slate clean yet again.
This film is fairly uneven for me. I love the beginning, and the movie does have some of the most memorable and enjoyable characters out of the recent Godzilla films. I liked that they tried using an original monster, even if Orga was pretty forgetable.
The special effects vary from great to terrible, I found the action (after the beginning that is) to be pretty boring, the score sucks, and the Godzilla suit was a big disappointment after the excellent suit designs of the VS series.
Like others I felt like Toho just rushed this one, simply wanting to make a generic Godzilla movie and not really caring about quality, though they did randomly get a few things right.
