1) I was pretty geeked up (and up about 36 hours at this point) but it seems like once we hit present day (first MUTO appears) there's only 3 to 4 days until the end of the film. I'm not sure the speed Godzilla would have to travel but Japan to Vegas seems like a long distance.

Plus, then back to Cali. All in under a week.

2) Godzilla is shown leaving Hawaii pretty much under naval escort. There are ships flanking him. All the way from Hawaii the navy is all around him and never does he attack. As soon as he hits land what does the military do?

That's right, attack him for no reason. It makes no sense.

Spoiler!

2) There was nothing he could damage in the middle of the ocean, and the bulk of his body was under water. Why attack him then?
