if they woudl have went into detail about the monster, it would have klled the point of view of the movie.

if that happened in reality, the normal person wouldnt know **** about nothing. For the point of view sake of the movie than there was no real way for them to know all the information about a monster that just comes from the water and attacks the city. i think were used to the basic outline for movies for them to have a scene where someone knows everything about the monster in these type of movies and they sit there and explain to everyone. But truthfully we wouldnt know anything.. But i bet there will be another one... cant wait!
