Specifically, the dark tone and brutal action, as well as the suit designs. But in my mind there's just too much bad stuff to call it a good movie. I don't think there was that much bad stuff. And that's coming from the guy who watches it every week. There is pretty big flaws, but it is still an absolutely beautiful movie. I think one of the few good cuts in the climax is Ghidorah rising up and stuff but eh. And you can't blame CGI. this is 2001 Japan we are talking about. and just in 1999 did they make a good for japan CGI but terrible for American G-200 scene with a CG shot of the G man. I mean, have you seen the Gamera 2016 (hopefully) trailer? This is November 2015 CGI we are talking about and it still looks like American 1983 CGI. Some Americans are just spoiled fans of Bayformers and pick any CGI that is worse. Not saying you sound like one, but keep on mind 2014 was made in America in HOLLYWOOD. Thats why it has great CGI. and how can you pick on some thing that looks terrible a decade later? Have you SEEN first hand what video games looked like 10-15 years ago? Jurassic Park was able to make completely photorealistic CGI TWENTY-THREE years ago. Well, most of the Dinosaur scenes were actually made using puppets, robots, and humans. Let me list the scenes.

The opening scene with the velociraptor: Yes, they had a puppet inside that cage.

The velociraptor cage: I mean, what else was rattling the leaves?

Baby velociraptor: they had strings attached to the infant a it was inside the egg, to break out with.

Sick triceratops: That was a puppet. with a heart beating machine inside.

T-rex breaking out and with the cars: Yes, the famous scene with Rexy was done with the largest robot ever built.

Brontosaur in the tree: I mean, did that thing look like CG to you?

The power room: Those raptors were real. But not.

And the climax battle with the Trex and raptors: although the dinos were CG, the skeleton was not. Hence, this scene was made without it.
