* SoAverageItsOkay: General reception to the film is that it's competent and well-executed kaiju movie, but it doesn't take the franchise in any new direction, has a fairly generic plot, and the new enemy monster isn't anything remarkable, making it overall forgettable compared to the SoBadItsGood Showa series and the DarkerAndEdgier Heisei trilogy (to which this entry had a ToughActToFollow).

** Zedus in general, he makes up for his lack of grandiose powers or an overtly scary design with his sheer aggressiveness and blood-thirst, as well as his tendency to appears out of nowhere for a good old JumpScare. He is scary enough that the entirety of the film's tone turns darker the second he becomes active in the plot. To exemplify, his very first scene does a very effective homage to ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' where a man that survived one of Zedus' rampages on a fishing boat is stranded at sea, and can only try and vainly swim away in horror when he sees blood-covered fishing equipment surfacing from the sea, right before Zedus pulls him underwater and eats him, noticeably a ''pool'' of gushing blood comes out as the scene ends.
