Of course the CGI was fantastic, but story was tedious and disjointed.
At one point it is said the Kaiju have arisen because of what humans have done to the planet, and they are natures way of restoring balance. So then is Godzilla fighting against nature? I guess he works for Big Oil or something.
Aside from that, there are a bunch of beautifully crafted scenes that are attempting to show drama with the humans but without a comprehensible story, they fall flat. I lost count of how many times some human stares into Godzilla's eyes in some empty attempt to show a kind of connection between man and monster (sorry, not a monster).
So, with all the disconnected drama, poor overall story, laughable premise but good CGI, you are better off just watching the 2014 movie.
