I agree, I think that it would have been more interesting if there had been some kind of conspiracy or clear villain but no, the Japanese and the US governments were portrayed like super heroes always willing to protect the people, same with the military, the media and even Godzilla itself, that was a little cheesy.

The "government is secretly evil" thing is terribly overused, I'm glad they didn't resort to it here.

And there was a clear villain: the Mutos.

I meant people when I said villain but I wasn't very explicit I guess, I just think it was kind of boring and cheesy that everyone was good and had the best interests in mind. I was also expecting the movie to have a more uncomfortable, apocalyptic and tense athmosphere but the only parts that were like that are the ones shown in the trailer. Don't get me wrong, even with all its defects and clichés I did love the movie.
