Why the Ending Doesn't Work

Blowing it up won't kill it. There were obviously chunks of it all over the place, and as we know their first attempt to put it back in the ocean a piece got cut off and lived on its own.

Now there are like thousands of little pieces that'll become little monsters and infect sharks, or other dangerous sea-life. Since it has all that "absorbed intelligence" could you imagine a shark with all those people's knowledge, or some octopus growing 100x bigger than normal?

Hell Deep Blue Sea already tackled the "smart shark" theory. Another not so good movie...

Why won't blowing it up kill it? There's no evidence it can survive an explosion, especially a bomb down it's throat.. Plus, when you consider the fact the boat they found it on was sunk via torpedo and you see a skeleton of one of the creatures.

I brought this up in my own thread, but if the leg from the Sixpack/Bowman creature survived there's more than one. But if it didn't, then it died when the leg was cut off and that means it can be killed.

Taking the internal logic out of the scene, the editing and pacing was atrocious. Almost as bad as Jaws: the Revenge. Did they run out of money or something?
