For the most part, I think this a fair assessment. There is this sense that lasts throughout the first half of the game of going up against these mysterious beings of legend. The Gods themselves. The developers build up this feeling more and more as the game goes on. But when I finally reached Nito I was genuinely disappointed that I defeated him on the first try.

Nito is probably, for me, the worst boss fight in the game. When I think back on it now nothing stands out. Nothing is memorable. And, while the other fights that you mentioned are on the easy side when compared to other boss encounters, there was at least something memorable. Like epic music or a unique approach to defeat, when compared to other boss fights.

All in all Dark Souls is a great game from beginning to end. Offering a refreshing difficulty and much replayability. But there was a real opportunity missed by the developers to make it truly masterful.
