Godzilla Minus One - what am I missing?

Just watched Godzilla Minus One. From what I've heard from many people (particularly on reddit) is that this movie contends with Oppenheimer for 2023 movie of the year.

But I digress, hard. I'm not gonna pretend I'm a movie afficionado or a creative writer, because I'm not.

But I found this movie to be way below expectations. The acting was way too anime-like. The plot was incredibly predictable. Past reddit threads have mentioned that the movie was good for a low budget film, but why are we rating movies based on a per dollar basis?

I didn't hate the movie by any means, but to put this on par with Oppenheimer is ridiculous. I believe when Godzilla came out, it sat at a 8.4 imdb, and is currently 7.8, so maybe others realize the same on a second rewatch.

But honestly, why was this movie so hyped up originally? Personally give it a 7/10
