I just wish the monster could have stomped him a bit sooner too save us the agony of another one of his oh god lines . And why was he still taping when he tried to cross that chasm between the two buildings ? That was hilarious . No it wasn't enough to show the dangerous nature of the crossing , he had to tape them actually crossing it , at least he had enough sense not to do that same trick twice . On the way back i think he shut the cam off , then turned it on again on the other side . And i love how when any time the little critters attacked , he still tried to tape what was happening , he had to be one of the dumbest videographers in history . I think the film is great , but i desperately hope they drop any sort of nonsensical love story angle and give us what we really want in the sequel , full on monster mashing action , i still contend that this film seems like a simple side story , not the main event concerning an attack on Manhattan , it's narrative is myopic , and i felt seriously cheated when we would only see the monster for brief moments in favor of some mtv melodrama . I understand why they did though , they were trying to appeal to the men and the women in the audience , but that could just be my cynical side talking . It could have been epic , but instead i got a deleted scenes feel . No matter , what the film does right is terrific , and i fully expect the sequel to be even better .
