[Movie] Best Shots at What The Cloverfield Monster Looks Like?

I kind of enjoyed it, that Hud guy was very annoying. Could have toned down his idiotic questions a bit.
The monster doesnt fall into the ocean at the end, that's supposed to be a satellite from the Slusho company or summat.
One of the ingredients in Slusho is supposedly able to make a small fish turn whale sized. So that's how the monster got that big?
Also, if a creature lives in an extremely high pressure environment it's either going to have to be extremely thick skinned, or extremely small and wafer light.
As for being indestructable, it's a little bit beyond belief (but it doesn't hurt to suspend disbelief every now and then) but who's to say what the creature has for armour. They could have just shot it in those puffy things on its head. They look nice and...well...poppable.

The thing I dont get about godzilla and this movie
Is the basic fact that why the **** would a massive monster swim from the western pacific to New York which is in the Atlantic a different ocean (for the less educated).

I think all you guys are missing the most fundamental flaw with this. Put all that **** about thick hide and deep sea trench aside for a moment and think about this.
IF the creature came from the deep sea, totally out of oblivion having never been seen before, then how the **** do you explain NOT just the creature itself BUT ALSO the lice living on it being able to breathe out of water? How do you explain it being able to handle the light up top when we all know that creatures from the deepest depths have very poor and sensistive sight or are blind. Is it supposed to be some humungous ****ing amphibian that's just never decided to surface until now?
It just doesn't really make sense to me that it came from the sea, or am I over-thinking this???
Now back to the thick hide and resilience, are you all forgetting this thing called 'concussion' which explosions create. It renders horrible damage to internal organs, in fact you can be killed by concussion outright without getting so much as a scratch from the bomb that caused it. I'd hate to think of the amount of concussion a 500lb or 1000lb bomb would cause. In the movie we see the creature catch 3 or 4 of these suckers along it's back and still remain alive, surely thick hide or not it would have sustained serious injuries there.

I thought the monster was ludicrously tough, but really enjoyed the first person experience in the cinema, the sounds were awesomly good with some bong rattling bass that shook the cinema, when all the US Army was blazing away at it it was good thumping exciting fun.
It was a cool monster movie from the people on the grounds perspective, and really enjoyable i thought, just leave your brain at home.

I think you guys are putting waaaaaaaay to much energy into discussing how the monster could take so much punishment without dying.
Just face it! It's a monster movie and it's never going to be realistic or follow real world physics anyway (I have yet to see a monster movie that does this (and I have seen A LOT of crappy and not so crappy monster movies).
I keep myself occupied with trying to figure out what that thing was, where it came from because that's still the thing I like the most about the movie: You really don't know **** about the monster, you have no professor/action hero guy that suddenly finds out what it is where it came from and all it's weaknesses and he by himslef saves the day (while the entire US army failed) while he explains everything to you.

I say the monster could have came from outer space then crashed landed into the earth's atlantic ocean. But if it really did then how was it able to survive and guide itself around orbit ? Maybe it was dumped by aliens cause they had to get rid of an unwanted pet ?
Nah, according to what I've read, basically, this Japanese drilling company creates this creature after spilling some sort of liquid/toxin into the ocean.
Spore sez: All signs point to yes.
You do realize that Crabs are ocean dwelling creatures though, yes?
