There's nothing wrong with centering a Godzilla film around a little kid - and the actor who plays the kid is good. Some reliable tropes like bullies, and parents not being around, to make sympathy. I love the idea of the kid befriending Minilla.
But the film lost me when the kid dreamed of going to Monster island. It make the whole thing fake, there were no stakes. They throw in some robbers in the real world and I like how the experience of dreaming of the monsters encouraged the kid to take on the bullies, but mostly this was annoying.
