Excellent reviews all around for Cloverfield. I was suppose to go tonight, but snow = not happening. Switched plans to Monday night and I can hardly wait.

I saw it last night at the midnight screening and it was fucking intense.

Best time I had at the movies in the longest time.

I wrote (attempted) a review for the movie a few hours ago, but I'm not that good at reviewing things, so I hope this helps somebody in some way.


I'm still a bit torn about the movie, I just got back from seeing it. The character development was good, the situations (other than that giant fucker destroying everything) seemed realistic. The destruction wasn't much I hadn't seen before in other destruction/monster movies. The camera work, the first-person thing was cool at some points in hiding the monster's entire body for the beginning of the movie, but during a scene featuring the characters running through a tunnel, I almost threw up. And now, the monster. I thought it was cool how they use the viral marketing to let people try to figure out their own version of the monster's origin by not explaining it. The way it looked was kind of cool, though in some shadow scenes that take place in shadows it looks like Dr. Zoidberg from "Futurama". The smaller monsters falling off of it were pretty cool too. It doesn't seem to different from other monsters, but the focus really isn't supposed to be on the monster but the people being attacked by the monster so I guess that's ok. All in all, it was a decent movie that I'll watch another time or two but I didn't feel it was as much as it was built up to be with all of the viral marketing and whatnot (several of the viral websites aren't even referenced in the movie in any way).

6.5/10

just saw it. it completley sucked. haha, sorry. the camera movement made you dizzy. I think it would have been much better if the camera wasnt so god danm bad. I mean, i appreciated the concept, it was different. But I felt like i was going to throw up through some parts.

When the movie ended all you could hear is people saying it sucked. haha, sorry i really wish it was much bettttter

OMFG I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SHAKEY FUCKING CAM!

Let me see you filming a party then all of a sudden something attack your city and during it you wanted to try and film stuff for people to see later but yet thousands of people are pushing you because they are running for their lives and your running and shit is blowing up near you.

Let me see you not have a shakey cam.

Though not seeing it, I believe the shaky camera was intended for effect.
