Like I said, subtlety is the film's greatest strength. A lot of things when left to the imagination, or indicated slyly on the sidelines (like the cut which showed the battle on TV as a continuation) are more tasty than on-screen antics.
It's not that I want on-screen antics, it's that they offer TOO much before taking it away, and the rinse-and-repeat of this technique grows tiresome. And the sheer amount of MUTO action we're given means it's not an exercise in subtlety - it's a very action packed film. That's what makes Godzilla's absence irritating - not a personal desire to have constant spectacle, but the imbalance.
