I didn’t mind the first Cloverfield movie. It was original in its execution and did an outstanding job keeping things quiet in a day and age where everyone wants to know what the director had for lunch.
I couldn’t believe that they kept the image of the monster a secret for so long. And the marketing was truly viral having everyone online discussing and guessing about the movie.
But now it looks like a sequel is on its way, and today we tripped over what looks like another “discovered video tape”
I am kind of hoping we just see the story of some of the other people in NY at the time instead of a “holy shit there is ANOTHER Monster” kind of story. That would be interesting instead of beating a dead horse with some sequel that doesn’t feel right.
