Indeed I have not. I know that people connected Mothman with disaster, suggesting he either heralded doom or simply caused it. What bugged me was that the whole point of Mothman is that his portents weren't through phone calls with cryptic, coded messages. The mythos says he's supposed to APPEAR. I was hoping Hollywood would run with that. I didn't want to see him attacking; I wanted to see him terrorizing. He did that quite well.
I didn't like that they made him speak, either. The simple banshee shriek is a lot creepier.
Basically, the movie just wasn't what I'd hoped for. Too much prophecy, not enough Mothman.
