I think the descriptions that monster action doesn't happen until the end/2nd half isn't entirely honest. It's more like a small leak that gradually grows and grows and grows until the pipes burst.

Just saw it. This is pretty much spot on. I didnt think it was slow at all. There is an action scene about 40 minutes in, and another about 50 minutes in, after that its pretty much non-stop. My 9 year old son loved it. He was never bored.
Great flick. They totally got "Godzilla". Im not gonna spoil anything here yet until most have seen it. Its full of small surprises.
Loved the look and scale of this thing. Lots of long shots to give you that epic scale. oh...and very little of that shaky closeup cam stuff. The design of the MUTOs and Godzilla himself was pure awesome.
