It is. The cgi is believable and very well done and the 3D added and didn't distract from the film. After a while you just get use to it and kind of forget it's in 3D.
Comments without any spoilers:
1) The reason people's comments are short is mostly due to the fact you just can't talk about hardly anything without spoiling something. For the most part the surprises that come are positives.
2) This movie is not slow to start - there's action from start to end - it's just not always giant monsters dominating the scene. As the film goes on the action increases and becomes more and more intense. This "slow build" is not something that would irritate adult viewers but younger kids (12 or younger) might get impatient waiting for longer monster/fight/destruction scenes.
I think the descriptions that monster action doesn't happen until the end/2nd half isn't entirely honest. It's more like a small leak that gradually grows and grows and grows until the pipes burst.
3) Some reviews stated that there were comedic moments that just missed and weren't funny. I never got the impression there were any comedic moments. This movie takes itself very seriously. These were simply misunderstood scenes/moments were things were implied but IMO not made obvious enough.
This film does not beat you over the head with commentary or a singular message - it's understated. At times too understated.
4) This is such a departure in tone from other Godzilla films I'd compare it to the difference between the last Batman trilogy and any other Batman film. It's that different.
5) There a at least two tips of the hat to his previous film Monsters, many to previous Toho Godzilla films/moments, and what appeared to me to be a big **** you to the 98 American film.
6) This movie shows - it doesn't tell. The scenes tell the story and not a bunch of lengthy exposition. You'll gather meaning from a collection of scenes and how the story unfolds or you won't.
