If you read the comments on the trailers and reviews of Godzilla, the ones that call the movie boring (by this I mean those that give a reason for it instead of just the criticism alone) don't call it boring due to a lack of action. They consider it boring due to the poor character development and bad writing. Personally I think it had a lot of potential but failed to use it. Ken Watanabe was criminally underused, as was Bryan Cranston, and every other character was completely one-dimensional. The enormous plot-holes certainly didn't help. Before you accuse me of wanting senseless action, I can't stand Michael Bay movies and I think there were some scenes it did very well, such as the foot-stomp, the HALO-jump and the first time he uses his atomic breath, but the good scenes were few and far between.
