I thought the fact that I didn't see Godzilla the whole movie actually added to the suspense and made the movie more enjoyable.

It's like Jaws, if they show the shark all the time it takes away from its screen presence.

It could be that you are spoiled by Michael Bay movies with no heart or plot, therefore expect to be spoon fed action scene after action scene.

Come on man. Cranston was barely entertaining and they cut him out quick. Kickass Kid was as boring as toast. If they had a Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw in the movie with fully formed characters, then you could get away with less Godzilla. But what they gave us was a boring backstory lightly seasoned with the occasional Godzilla sighting.

I agree, but it wasn't the lack of Godzilla that I didn't like. I was just pointing that out to another poster because I'd seen it on honest trailers.

I cannot tell you how much I love this response.

I suppose it could be that way, but seeing as how I'd rather shoot myself in the dick than sit through the average Bay movie, it probably isn't. As FK pointed out, the characters were shallow, incredibly so, and the only reasonably well-developed one (redacted for spoilers). The plot was incoherent and never seemed to choose a path. It just jumped around from character to character, all of whom just stand around watching monsters break things. Actually, the movie seems to have wanted to go in the direction of the Michael Bay movies you love so much, but even in that regard, it fails spectacularly.

If, as you suggest, their intention was to make a serious, contemplative fricking Godzilla movie, then they, and you, are complete, nerf-chewing idiots whose drivers licenses should be revoked and whose testicles should be removed.
