Putting aside all discussion of effects works and acting, the crux of all three films is their commentary. Shin Godzilla is rebukes Japan's bureaucracy and calls for patriotism in the next generation. Minus One rebukes WW2 Japan treatment of its own populace and Japan's self-destructive ideologies. Godzilla is essentially a rebuking of America developing an ultimate weapon and immediately using it on their fellow man, with tremendous weight being placed on Serizawa finally being moved to use his ultimate weapon only once, for the defense of his homeland. You probably just got more out of Shin and Minus One's commentary.
