Perhaps it's better left for a sequel. It didn't belong in the beginning of the film, but I am not a stupid movie watcher for wanting to know more, or not liking the pure ambiguity of the movie.
I went into the movie hoping for a monster blowing up NY. I got more. It left me wanting more. Doesn't make me less intelligent then you or make my movie viewing skills less educated then any of you who liked it how it was. I really resent the implications that those who wanted more are stupid.  |
There's a difference between wanting to know more (or thinking that the movie didn't work on its own terms... but hell, EVERYONE wanted to figure out what was going on, everyone had questions at the end of the movie that they wanted to figure out, everyone wanted to know where the monster came from, etc.) and
needing the man in the white lab coat to spell it out in detail in the movie itself to make the film a good movie.
I think people who needed the man in the white lab coat were completely missing the point of the film.
I didn't say "if you didn't like the movie you are a stupid person", because that would be a ridiculous thing for me to say. Sorry if that was the way you took it.
