J.J. is unbelievably talented in his ability to get you to care about characters

I think you are giving JJ to much credit here. Props should be going to Drew Goddard and Matt Reeves.

I thought the movie was great. One of the most intense rides at the theater I've experienced in a long time.

I don't agree that there are to many unanswered questions though. The whole point of the movie is that it is a "real" account. They made the movie as close to a real account as they could and still make a coherent story(as simple a story as it may be). I mean, if it was real, Hud would have dropped the camera after the first explosion and there would have been no movie.

Anybody who expected answers or a bigger plot should have their heads examined. It's about a group of 20-somethings running through New York trying to get from point A to B and find a friend all the while trying not to be killed by the unexplainable creatures or be shot by the military...and they just happen to have a camera. We know as much as they know...no more, no less. If you wanted answers or a bigger plot then you wanted the big 100million dollar Hollywood style military vs. monster movie with the stand out hero played by a big star with lame/pointless one-liners and a big long backstory explaining how the monster came to be. That was called Godzilla...it sucked. Being in the dark is what makes this movie good.

i am just frustrated because i really wanted to know where it came from.

The crazed internet folk who dissect movies until there is nothing left seem to think that in the last scene of the movie(coney island) you see something fall from the sky into the ocean. I didn't see this...but a lot of people seem to believe it. Is this the monster? Is this what woke the monster up? Did the retrieval of this object lead to waking the monster up? Was there even an object? I don't know. It's kinda interesting though.

Oh...and I wasn't trying to be a dick in my last post. It clearly reads that way though.
