I loved the movie, personally. The human focus was... It's a Godzilla movie through-and-through, let's just put it that way. The movie really spoke to me as a fan. Godzilla's first appearance, walking into the city like a boss, does his roar for the first time. It said to me, "I'm back, bitches."
And yes, it followed with some fight-teasing where they would cut away from the action JUST as it's happening, and they would do this a couple more times, but JUST as it starts to get annoying, you get your release and it's glorious.
Oh, and my face when Godzilla's tail lit up for the first time:
