I never saw the original like I said. So it's no surprise that I didn't care that the 1998 one didn't follow the Godzilla-formula. With that taken out of it, it is obviously the better movie. 95% of 2014 is stuff that was boring me to death. It was one giant tease, with so little pay-off that it didn't make up for all the stuff I had to sit through watching.
When you don't know the original Godzilla story, it really is different how you look at these films. In fact, I only knew that Godzilla was 'the good guy' in the originals after I watched this 2014 one. I never knew before.
I highly recommend you rewatch that movie now, it thought it was pretty good too until I realized I only cared about the last 15 minutes and it was trying to cash in on Jurassic Park for most of the movie.
All your criticism comes from you wanting the movie to be something different than it was though. Which is completely fine and valid. When I went in to 2014, I was expecting to see a lot of Godzilla and epic fights. You didn't get what you expected/wanted, neither did I. I had no expectations of 1998 and it was a pretty good movie for what it was. I had a bunch of expectations of 2014 and none of them were met. It might be a good movie, but it's not what I wanted out of it, so I was very disappointed.
Nooo, really, go back and rewatch that film. Even if it wasn't called Godzilla, it's a terrible, terrible film. The fact that it's called Godzilla makes it even more insulting.
