To each his own about the monster and the camera. But I don't get the no plot argument. It had a plot, a simple one. Monster attacks city, guy tries to save girl and escape. That's enough. People are complaining about how there was such a lack of explanation for the monster, but what are they supposed to do, have some scientist come out of nowhere and give a perfect explanation of what it is?

It's not even a 90 minute movie. If it got bogged down in plot, it would kill the pacing. I like that there was no explanation for the monster. All the more interesting. All you have to know is it's big, it's mean, it's a force of destruction. This is a popcorn flick, not Atonement or something. Who needs that much plot in a movie like this?
