The majority of the film involves politicians, bureaucrats, military leaders, etc, talking about how to deal with the daikaijū threat, with fast cuts to give the impression that things being discussed hurriedly is some kind of compensation for things being uninteresting - it's not. The first hour in particular is dense with such dialogue scenes, leaving no comfortable entry point for a viewer to connect, or even sympathise, with a single individual.
Godzilla, referred to as male more than once in the English subs, is mostly CGI, mo-capped so that it moves kind of like a man in a suit. Points for good intentions, but ultimately it's a CGI creature with zero personality.
