Well against a lot of advice to avoid it like a good dose of the clap, I made the conscious decision to give it a go. Well I got totally screwed didn't I. This lemon sucked an hour and a half out of my life and I want to kill someone responsible so I can feel better again. I thought Battlefield earth got pretty damn low but nope....someone actually managed to make a crappier movie. Am I glad I didn't fork out admission to the movies when it first came out. JJ Abrams needs neutering so he can't sporn anymore of his kind. I got this movie as part of a freebee for my cable subscription, you know, pick a couple of free movies each month yadda yadda.

What in the hell was that crap? TOTALLY far fetched from anything real, or exciting. The lame small things i can point out in this movie just bothered me to no end.... example... the girl running from a ginourmous monster through NY city right.... in GOLD 4 inch heels, i mean i can pull a list of these things off this movie all day long. It was annoying to watch, like most i was hoping to find a reason of WHY i might have sat and wasted this moment of my life... and then the movie ended abruptly with no explanation and no real END to this story at all. To say the least i was pissed, i could have been doing something way more important like picking my green jelly belly's out from the package for my next day at works snack. Being a movie writer these days must not consist of too much, i think im in the wrong business because im sure he got paid quite a bit to come up with that garbage. Here im going to give you all an inside on the movie im going to write to compete with this ish, to be released summer 2009.... Imagine... you wash your clothes and strangely every single time you come up a sock missing... DUN DUN DUNNNNN Well every time you put your laundry in the dryer and turn it on and get it up to the speed of 85 MPH (like the delorean) and your socks go into a time warp... BACK IN TIME!!! Where the evil sock monster eats one sock to drive you nuts. We need to bring in the military to handle this mess and they come and bomb your house where your laundry dryer is... END OF MOVIE. I think we have a winner, ill call it Cloverfieldsucks.Com.

What's the point of filming the movie like that? Style without purpose is stupid and i have to say I'm very worried about LOST now, we're probably sticking by these bullshit episodes for a shitty pointless ending! hmmm The best thing about this movie was the marketing strategy, it had poor CGI, the story was a pointless rip off of Godzilla and what’s up with the camera?

I did feel quite "seasick" right through it from all the jerkiness, and I would not have liked it to be any longer, but it was an interesting idea and quite well done. I thought it was quite OK.

The movie has a good story but badly executed! Interestingly enough, we have the “smart/ intelligent” movie goers love and understand the movie and the rest of us “not so smart” hated the film. Cloverfield worst movie ever? Not quite, but it’s bad. Good movie is good movie! This is a good movie but bad moving making. Some tend to forget that we want to be entertained at the movie. The director is the story teller who will tell his or her story images through lenses of cameras. This movie failed to tell the story in so many ways. Let’s not forget that movie is moving visual graphics, when people are throwing up all over the world not because of the content but very bad graphic! Where’s the entertainment value in throwing up? Some says, it’s the price you pay for realism! Ok, let talk about realism. First it’s a MONSTER movie! Yes, that’s real! The scene where they encounter the military…if realism is what you want, the movie would be over at that point! Because the camera would have been taken away by the military! I don’t mind the shaky cam effect but to say this movie employed the shaky effect is to say mount Saint Helen eruption a small puff! The camera was moving from 0 to 180 degrees per 3 second most of the time! Hey Mr. director! This is not creativity…it is inexperience! The critic gives this movie five stars, I wonder if the star represent each time he or she could throw up. This film is a love letter from the producer, director and editor to the “smart” people and “critics”. Hey Paramount! Those people are few and far in between! Your movie can not survive financially if you depend only on them! We “the not so smart people” are the rest of the world! We paid to be entertained, some of us worked hard for the money! You need people like us for your paycheck! My two children and I walked out the theater after 30 sickening minutes. I’m insulted by this duping process. The film should have been a made for television movie special not big screen. Hollywood are you listening? Good movie is good story telling, you give us a glimpse of the future, transporting us back in time, take us to outer space, remind us of world histories, scared us with your ghostly tales and above all entertained us. Don’t forget at one time there was a slogan “ Hollywood…now, that’s entertainment!” People! The movie has a good story but badly executed!

(Possible spoilers in this comment) I was VERY hesitant to go see this movie. It looked stupid. And a monster? You're kidding me. But my husband REALLLY really wanted to see it, mostly because he is a huge Lost fan and probably thinks JJ can do no wrong. I personally like movies shot in this perspective. I don't like the camera work. It's obviously difficult to watch. I was blown away by Blair Witch. The first 1/2 hour was boring and if the theater seats had been more comfortable I might have tried to take a nap :) But unlike the other poster you quoted above, I liked that it was like "Real Life." I liked that no one knew what the heck was going on. No one knew where this thing came from. The actors conveyed absolute bewilderment. And as for wanting more than Real Life at the movies - where in REAL LIFE are you going to encounter an enormous monster with parasitic spider things attacking New York? That's what made this a movie for me. Part of me thought, "A monster. Seriously. A monster. What the heck?" and the other part of me thought, "WHOA!!! Look at that sucker!!!" I thought the end was absolutely perfect. The movie had no explanation during, so why would it have explanation at the end? Their fate was obvious. The announcement about "Operation Hammerdown" explained everything perfectly. My husband suggested that a sequel shot from the usual movie "God perspective" would be neat to see. Explanations, perfect camera work, etc. I liked it. So I respectfully disagree :) But maybe I'm a tiny bit biased because our tickets were free, as was the babysitting. Ha! Ouch!
