It wasn't just a monster movie... it was influenced by old Japanese anime cartoons too, among other things.
But I really enjoyed the first movie. It's probably one of my favorite movie theater experiences ever. I loved Godzilla too... I don't think you can evenly compare the two, they were aiming for two completely different things. In fact I'm pretty sure Del Toro said at one point they did not want it to be an ode to Godzilla, or at least those old monster movies. It was obviously far more influenced by the old Japanese anime mecha cartoons.
