I quite enjoyed the movie.I didn't mind they had a lot of build up to the monster fights, 'cause it builds suspense that way and it makes the eventual showdown that much better. They were kind of going with the whole Alien/ Jaws thing where you didn't see the monster much until near the end, so there's always that fear of the unknown thing going on. The story was engaging, anyways, and Ken Watanabe is always awesome. ...I feel like watching Letters from Iwo Jima again now. Anyways, as long as you don't go in expecting Pacific Rim with constant monster fights, you'll probably enjoy the movie. Besides, I think most people bitching about the lack of monster fights probably never seen the older Godzilla movies. He took FOREVER to show up in those.

It was more when they started actually fighting and destroying things but we only got told it was happening and didn't get to see it that I was annoyed.
