People going in with different expectations can lead to misperception and exaggeration. The majority of people seem quite happy with the film; you'll always have a vocal minority who are never pleased.
Godzilla wasn't any less of a focus in this new film than he was in Godzilla vs Mothra '92, Godzilla Final Wars, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla '74...

Actually, most people and sites I've been listening to and looking at tell me that word of mouth is mixed. Might be why the box office dropped ~17% from Fri to Sat. I think next weekend isn't going to be pretty. Okay, but nothing spectacular. Curious to see if it can top Godzilla '98 (after being adjusted for inflation is ~$550M WW.)

Reception has been largely positive. $93 million domestic gross in its opening weekend, much more than the estimated $70m; $196m worldwide; second biggest opening weekend of 2014; 72% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The negative opinions are always the most vocal on internet boards.

Well, because it did so well Friday, they were expecting over $100M. However, because of the dip on Saturday, they are only estimating ~93M. Still great, but given the unexpected dip, it may mean a very front loaded movie.
