I actually found it quite enjoyable. Although there is some tweeks that could be adjusted, the ending for example I found could have been extended a little more.

It was like an EFNY type of ruins. For those who are fan’s of John Carpenter’s Escape from NY.

I like those sort of movies. If you’re into Monsters attacking the city, and documentary type movies, then I reccomend seeing it.

Just a thought.

i saw cloverfield last night.

it was horrible.
yes im only 16 yrs old but i love sci-fi movies like this.

trust me, waste of money

i went with 6 people
and 5 out of 6 of these people
including me, got sick because of motion sickness

the way it was filmed, like the guy holding the camera and the camera moving everywhere got everyone sick

supposingly around 30 people at the showing we went to got a refund and left

including us.

it was upsetting. and not enjoyable.
i really recommend not seeing it.
waste of time, money and food just eaten.

LOST certainly found itself again (pun totally intended) in season 3 which in my opinion was the best season yet…..it is definitely the best drama on t.v.

I cannot believe it gets compared to heroes….heroes isn;t fit to be mentioned in the same breathe as lost. lost is so superior on every single there is just no comparison to be made….lost has much better acting, more compelling characters, a much more interesting idea shaping and better storytelling. lost just lays waste to everything around it….go and watch the last 5 episodes of season 3……and then compare that to anything on heroes oir any show on t.v. there is no comparison.

in short…its fucking amazing.

I just wanted to say to whoever who is dissing Lost; Lost rules. It is the best drama on tv right now and possibly the best sci-fi show since twin peaks. I had posted a huge comment about this but I just realized that somehow it has magically disappeared from these comments.

Oh, one last thing, comparing this to “Snakes on a Plane” is a slap in the face. That show sucked more balls than Liberace on his 40th birthday.

BTW, showing the monster in ads or whatnot goes against this film’s core. And I’d bet my left nut some studio marketing dickweed made them put the gay ass portrait of the monster at the end of the movie. The shot where the monster basically looks into the camera and says “cheese.” Because up until that point, all we see is legs and crazy shit, and only hear its roar and see the damage it causes – so you’re left saying, “What in the fucksticks was THAT?” That’s the long way of saying I disagree with Kristina and Joseph.

Also, by way of puking at the handheld camera action, the studio rep at the theater advised all the press to sit at the very back, because he said if you get motion sick, you won’t like this flick. It was herky jerky, but it was good and I didn’t puke. The crowd loved this movie and the theater was packed tighter than fudge in San Francisco.

I just got back from a press screening of Cloverfield in Salt Lake City, Utah and I have to admit, I loved every minute of this movie. I’d say it was fucking fabulous, except the one of the last shots of the monster was GAY.

I loved how I got to know the characters by a watching them interact, by overhearing gossip, etc. I enjoyed the comic relief. It was short and sweet, tense and fun. It’s a summer popcorn flick in the middle of January.

When I review movies I ask myself two questions after all is said and done: Would I buy it on DVD and would I see it again in theaters. I say yes to both. I don’t give a shit what the “hype” is or how much it makes over the weekend. It is a quality, creative, fun film.

Film School Rejects has also given Cloverfield a rave review (and this reviewer had just posted an article a day ago saying Cloverfield was going to be a piece of shit lol)
