Cloverfield - Paramount

THIS AINT NO PARADE

When an unkown creature suddenly attacks Manhatten,a few average people grab a camcorder and set out to rescue their friend and document history.Cloverfield was filmed using a handheld camera,so those who don't have an iron stomach beware,however,this style was restricted only to camera movement not picture quality.With the film revolving mainly around its human characters and not the monster,the cast of mostly unknown actors have done an excellent job of carrying this movie by bringing their own unique personalities to the story.While watching the movie there are several instances that evoke a 9/11 feel as buildings fall in the distance and bridges are torn apart.Also,Cloverfield does a good job of portraying how the military would handle an attack like this,and how ordinary citizens would react to something like a big ol' monster barreling down 34th street like a Macy's parade float on steriods.All in all,Cloverfield is a thrilling and spooky adventure not to be missed and it has brought America back into the monster movie spotlight.There is love and loss,believable acting,a unique and powerful monster,and one huge mystery.What is it? Where did it come from? Can we stop it? Let us hope we find out soon.

Couldn't Watch It.

Simple Summary. If you bought a car and it was a lemon you could take it back for a refund. A shame you can't really do that for bad movies as well. It instantly reminds me of movies like Blair Witch. If I'd known it was filmed to pretend it was real, I would have never bought it. I watched about 30 minutes of it before its weak plot and "artistic" shooting style was just to much. Unless you like this type of movie, don't was your money.

Only an IDIOT would by this on BLUE-Ray

This was one STUPID movie, I have a 19.99(21.66 with tax)BlockBuster membership with Unlimited DVD's with 5 in-store exchanges. I have only been watching Blue-Ray movies (to get my money's worth)so far. Cloverfield was a waste of my families viewing time - we could not believe the stupid creature and the endings (there were 3 of them).

I now plan on reading all the the Amazon Blue-Ray reviews, BEFORE I rent any more movies.

As soon as BlockBuster deposits $30 in my paypal account(that was there promo for signing up), I plan on canceling.

I give Cloverfield 0 stars ( I wonder if this movie really made by superman's (chris Reeves) son (Matt Reeve)?

A change in modern cinama

After watching as many movies as I have you see flaws in several movies or story lines done 101 times over. Well I found this movie to be refreshing. We open with a recording from a handy cam that makes me dread watching this being reminded of what a P.O.S. "Blairwitch" was. But I gotta say having this whole movie taped from the point of view of the people involved adds to the thrill. Add a surround sound system and this movie puts the viewer right in the middle of Manhattan being destroyed. There is no Hollywood music to distract you from the idea behind this new age American monster movie.

Really bad.

Silly, stupid, not scary, if you watch the extra's (because I wanted to see what their motive was for making such a bad film was, Godzilla, since Japan has a monster the USA should have one, I ain't kidding! Also the monster was suppose to be a Baby monster that was scared and that's why it was running around crazy.) Do not waste your time or money, thank God I didn't as I rented this garbage from the Public Library for free.
