Said it before, but what is keeping me interested is the fact that I still have very little idea of what this movie will be. All we have are isolated moments that convey very different tones and feelings.
It's hard for me to imagine all of the things we've seen so far, put it together in my head and think "okay, so this is probably how the movie is going to be, and this is the tone they're going for."

I really loved the cartoon based on Godzilla '98. It actually had a Godzilla fighting against other monsters and more or less protecting NYC. It went up against Cyber Godzilla and all sorts of weird stuff.
The recent Godzilla film was like a feature length trailer. It had nothing to say about the characters and everything just felt random, pointless and incidental. I still enjoy it to an extent, but mostly for the awe inspiring visuals and destruction than anything else (which it would need more of to satisfy me).
