I really enjoyed it. I love giant monster movies.... I just can't rate them very high in comparison to another movie like The Matrix, The Godfather, or The Shawshank Redemption.
As far as for it's own genre, it's up there with Gamera: Defender of the Universe and Godzilla vs. Monster Zero which are my favorites.
So in the scheme of things, it's only a 7/10, but in it's own genre, it's a 10/10. Abrams did a great homage to the whole idea where he wanted to create an American giant monster movie. If you stay for the credits you'll hear a tasty track that is reminscent of the Godzilla theme.
Some of the viral web stuff is pretty cool too from the oil rig off the coast that was destroyed and covered by many "news" outlets in English, Frensh, Japanese, and Russian to the Tagruato Company website.
