I thought the monoliths seemed somewhat out of place in the movie. I get what they signified, and it makes sense. But I dunno, I just thought the whole "solid black rectangle giving intelligence and opening creative thinking for certain species" thing seemed kinda out of place for some reason. I guess that was an easy way of having the "alien" aspect without actually having to use aliens though.

the monolith is really just a placeholder. It's representation is arbitrary to an extent. They based it on simple mathematical formula. It's widely considered that mathematics is the basic "language of the universe/intelligent being" 1:4:9 is a perfect representation being that it's one of the fundamental basis for math, the squares of 1:2:3
The physical representation fits that idea perfectly.
