How can you not love this stuff?

I don't get the negative reviews, I thought it was fun. I mean, it's about a monster living in a mountain, what are you expecting?!?! It had better characters than "2012" and better story and effects than a ton of the Syfy movies. It says on this page the budget was $1.3 million whereas Avatar's budget was over $300 million! How much can you do for that little? Would've loved to see more of the behemoth at the end, reviewer was right about that. A lot of build up to very little screen time. Would love to have seen it break free and crush the town! Cast was good with what they had to work with. I got a kick out of it. The monster was awesome (when it finally showed up)!
