There are those in the audience that appreciate this (like myself) and those that dont.

I liked how in the shadows everything was, the people I went with only knew two things: Cranston and Godzilla, and when the first act took one out and showed another monster as the main antagonist they were genuinely shocked.
For once it's good to get into a movie witohut knowing the general plot due to trailers.

Of course, with such a lovely final act, all is forgiven.

They should ahve showed more of the battle in Honolulu, that would have helped quench the monster thirst.

Dat finisher! It's Orga's death done right!

I gotta say what I think made the whole thing work was the way the Kaiju were presented. They just seemed so bigger than life and it always felt like they gave you just enough of them to be satisfied and yet sitting there wanting more.

Agreed, the kaiju were simply breathtaking.
