My issue is not so much the deliberate pacing or slow reveal, but the way in which each fight scene goes a little too far to THEN take it away from us until the end. To use an analogy; imagine someone has a burger that they're going to give to you. The "Jaws" approach is for that person to keep describing the burger, occasionally show you glimpses of the burger and let you smell the burger before eventually giving you the burger in a big huge payoff. Godzilla 2014, however, puts the burger into your hands several times before yanking it back out. One is clever anticipation building, the other quickly grows frustrating.
