Let's start with what bothered me the most the first time watching it:
- Bryan Cranston's early death
- Airport (blue balls) Godzilla scene
After the second viewing the death of Bryan's character did not bother me, as a matter of fact I kind of feel it needed to happy just for the simple thought that his character had become a bit "loopey" along the years so I accepted his death and the passing of the story to Aaron's character.
The airport scene: I still think that we needed to see the fight even if it was a brief one. It didn't bother me as bad as the first time but I still think it was necessary just for the general audience who are not G Fans so they don't lose attention to the film. Now the second blue ball moment in the city when the winged muto goes after Godzilla and the doors close I can accept that IF we got the airport scene fight. But two blue ball moments are not good for the general audience, but on a personal level it didn't bother me bad enough for me to hate the film.
Little thing that bothered me is: The timed nuke was suppose to have a huge blast radius and it does go off but did it really get far from the city? Didn't seem like it.
My rating has actually changed since my first viewing. The film has actually bumped up from a 4 to a 4.5 out of 5 for me, it lost .5 a star because it needed just a bit more of Godzilla.
One more note: Stop comparing this film to Pacific Rim. Godzilla is a totally different vibe from Pacific Rim.
