He's definitely not one of the more powerful Godzillas. It's just because Legendary wanted to make their film more grounded, so Godzilla did not have some of the more outlandish powers of the Heisei and Millennium Godzillas, like the nuclear pulse for example. His atomic breath is also not like a giant laser ray of destruction, but rather a personal weapon of defense. Legendary characterizes their Godzilla as sort of an old, tired loner, rather than an unstoppable angry beast. But I don't think it's a bad thing that he's not too powerful. He's still strong enough to be considered Godzilla.
