Just came back from seeing this, the theater near me had about 5 showings of it throughout the past week (original language with English subs - released by Funimation).
If you are a Godzilla fan, you'll probably love it - not sure if I am giving anything away but the plot most every one knows that Godzilla has different "stages" in this but his final form is familiar.
It was much faster than it's 2 hour run time seems, script was pretty tight overall. You can see the Shinji Higuchi influence in it, definitely has a Heisei Gamera feel to it (that's not a bad thing).
For us "older" Godzilla fans, the soundtrack is excellent - a very nice homage to all your favorite "marches".
If you get a chance to see you owe it to yourself to see it on the big screen, it only took Toho about 20 years after the Gamera trilogy to get it right - SFX were very good for the budget, I only counted one and a half cringe worthy shots.
Overall I give it about 4.5 out of 5!
