god this movie was boring.

i kept waiting for something exciting to happen … but no.
it never did.

hmm. I am surprised of the comments to this movie, I seem to be one of the few who found Cloverfield completely boring!

what is “new” about this movie?!
the aliens in New York? the shaky camera work? the un-happy end? the tedious screaming and running?

I would highly recommended seeing this, as it so rare to see some so new and original.

A theme park simulator ride of a movie. I enjoyed it.
No too sure about a sequel though.

This generation’s Godzilla. As a matter of fact, if I had understood Japanese, I am almost sure that is what the frightened man was trying to tell them as they raced past him in the streets—about how he last saw this critter hanging around Tokyo…

Here would have been a great ending my girlfriend came up with:
Film ends, and pulls out to a bunch of Japanese military guys watching it, who say something about..i dunno, final solution or something. yea!

one of the best monster flicks i’ve seen in a while

Cloverfield is kind of like “The Blairwitch Project” but with kick ass special effects. Cloverfield is a movie that lives up to its hype and deliveries the goods. JJ Abrams is giving me hope for Star Trek with this flick (which also sports a teaser trail for the upcoming Trek flick).

Cloverfield has some shakiness (well a whole lot of it) but clever editing and the special effects more than make up for it. The best part of Cloverfield is how they got the look of it being shot on a camcorder and have the special effects in there. Cloverfield starts off slowly just like a roller coaster but once it gets going, its relentless.

For those not in the know, CLoverfield has been touted as a quasi-spin-off to the best show on ABC- LOST (I’d say on TV, but Torchwood is a touch better). Just as on Lost, there are numbers Galore in this movie! And tons of hidder messages, like the one on the wall of Rob’s appartment that tells you to “Keep your eyes open”. This is a great thriller- and never ever reveal much about this movie, least you ruin it’s essence.
The only downside is that you must watch this movie again at home with a slo-mo button. Thankfully, I have DVR, so I can do it when I watch Lost.
It’s a great thrill ride, and is also a horror in the vein of “Alien” or “Jurassic Park”. Now, I am looking forwarded to the now rumored sequel, which will take part during the events in cloverfield, but by someone else in another part of the city.

PS- a small clue- in the last scene look out in the ocean and check the date. It will blow your mind!
