So it sounds then like my buddy's assessment of this film when he saw the ad for the first time was right: Blair Witch Godzilla.

From Exolstice's review, it seems like the monster in this movie is mostly secondary to the characters, so I'll pass until it's free on cable, until I'm disabused of that notion. Then again, I've got two small kids and a third on the way, so I may see the theatre some time next decade.

My buddy just tried to see it last night with a friend. They couldn't take the camera shaking style and left after 20 minutes. They got their money back and the guy at the door said it happens a lot or people vomiting after the movie in the bathrooms.

Despite my terrible review, $44 million dollars worth of people still went to see it!

Gotta say fellas that I rather enjoyed this movie. The shakey cam was annoying at the start. It seemed to be more shakey then, and when the movie became chaotic it became alot smoother, less zooming in and zooming out headaches.

It almost felt like one of those motion simulated rides.

Two thumbs up! :!:

I want a sequel :!:

I wish I could get those minutes of my life back.

I quite enjoyed it. It's much better and more enjoyable than those hollywood movies FULL of exaggeration, super-human people, bad one-liner jokes and male bravado. I'm pretty sick of that same crap over and over again (so you can be sure I have zero interest in the new "Rambo").

At least they presented a rather established type of story in a new way, as well as revealing the monster slowly to build up a mystery about what was happening. I'm also glad they didn't try to "explain" it. It was what it was and we were taken along for the ride from a first-person perspective.

The only good part about Cloverfield was the third-rate actors and high school production level of dialog. No wait...

Reminds me of The Host, which I plugged earlier. Not TOO much of the monster on screen and the characters were less than typical in my eyes

Hollywood does suck sometimes because of the exaggeration of everything. But Bollywood rocks ;-)

Is there a record for re-opening the oldest thread.

If so I think you just took it ;-)

I don't like to think of them as "old" threads.......more like "retro" threads ;-)

BTW, for anyone who hasn't read the review of this movie, the line "The movie looks like it was shot by someone having a seizure while riding a mechanical bull on a rubber dingy on the ocean during a particularly violent storm." summarizes it perfectly ;-)
