All of my friends have loved it so far. I
haven't seen it myself. I thought it
looked incredibly stupid when I first saw
the preview, but my friends have given me
hope it might actually bee good.
What specifically didn't you like?

There was a story on either the Today Show
or Good Morning... can't
remember.....about people going to see
Cloverfield and getting physically ill as
a result of the erratic camera movement.
They said that it induced a vertigo like
state that throws off your equal librium.
Hmmm....I'll wait until its at
Blockbuster!

Yes, it does that due to the one-camera
perspective. If you're sensitive to such
things I've been told not to see the movie
in theaters.
Some people hate the camera, and others
love it. It's kinda the whole PREMISE of
the movie so...

I met my dad at the theatre on the weekend
to see cloverfield. It was awful and
ruined our whole afternoon. We both got
sick, him worse than me heh And walked out
before it was halfway through. Got a
refund. It was awful anyway. Revovled
around these few really shallow cookie
cutter spoiled New York kids. And you
would think anyone with an ounce of talent
or sense would know that type of film
makes people sick. I didnt feel sick the
whole time, not at the begining it was
slighty smoother then but the story and
acting was so bad lol

are people you WANT to see killed...

i hated it because its all camera made,
and it has no ending....when it "ended"
every1 was like what? thats it? how
f***ing stupid. the movie isnt bad itself
but the ending is just stupid. it killed
the whole purpose of the movie.

I suppose I'm more okay with endings like
that because I watch a lot of anime and it
tends to do that. But also, if the movie's
premise is that it is the footage from a
phone picked up after the incident, then
it doesn't make sense that its going to
have a movie-perfect ending. Again, the
camera was the other whole premise of the
movie... I'm not voting for whether or not
that's a good or bad thing, just saying.

i think the movie was kinda slow getting
to the whole monster thing. i thought it
was good overall. and the ending was
wack...me and my boyfriend stayed to the
end of the credits and theres a hint that
theres gonna be a second one. but that
doesnt explain why the ending had to be
wack. i really like how the guy was so
determined to save his true love though.
and the camera movement it wasnt that bad.
there was a warning at the box office so i
was preparred to motion sickness

It's a large blobby whale squid thing. The
monsters that fall off of it are actually
6 foot tall lice. Yes, lice.

It was a sea creature frightened by mining
activity for oil if I recall. That one
seen in the movie was a juvenile, aka just
a baby! The adults are much larger
according to the writers. And like I said,
the "spider things" that fell of off it
are giant version of whale lice.
The reason people exploded after bitten is
because the venom in the lice causes your
bone marrow to over produce red blood
cells, so eventually you burst because
there is too much blood inside of you.

i hadn't even heard of the film til a
couple of days ago so i didnt go in with
any particular expectations. but i enjoyed
it. and trust me i am NOT the sort of
person who likes movies about big monsters
running around destroying buildings and
eating people!!!
i liked the way it was filmed amateurly
and not slickly. i thought all the acting
was really good and convincing. i liked
the way it was dark and the camera jerked
and buildings got in the way so you never
really got much more than glimpses of the
monster, it left more to the imagination.
except that bit where the guy with the
camera has it standing right above him
looking at him. that was rubbish, but
otherwise i am surprised to say i liked
it!!
saw no country for old men the other day
too, that was nothing short of fantastic!!
