Cloverfield Review SPOILER ALERT!!!

I'm 37 minutes 38 seconds in (subway station), and I'm enjoying it. The idea of the whole film being filmed by one fella with a handheld camera is fantastic - it'd just be a high budget, generic monster flick, otherwise.

I wish they'd taught the fella how to hold it steady, though - like Slaynish, I'm getting a bit motion sick. Thankfully, as I'm watching the DVD, I can pause it whenever I want. I'd have hated to see it in the cinema.

Full thoughts when it's finished (just over 43 minutes).

A good film - I liked it. Not much else to say, really. Well, the ending was very abrupt, but it suited it.

As for it being an alien - it sure as hell wasn't an Earth creature. The last scene (the end of the original tape, Beth and Rob on the ferries wheel on Coney Island) shows, in the background, a shape fall out of the sky and land in the sea off Coney Island.

I thought it was a pretty good movie overall when I went to see it at theatres. Guess the camera moving everywhere was all part of the effects, didn't give me any motion sickness. What sucked is that the only person that survived (all Rob's fault) was his brother's girlfriend that was transported out of Manhattan in a helicopter (which all of them could've taken).

in one scene it flashes king kong

Name the scene. Otherwise you're horribly wrong.I didn't really enjoy the movie. It took forever to get started, the camera part was just plain annoying, and on top of all that the monster didn't even kill them; a nuke did. Weak ending. 3/10 I would not suggest anyone to watch this film.

A nuke? Don't correct Jamer when you don't even know what happened. It wasn't a nuke, they just bombed Manhattan with planes. That's why they were evacuating everyone. An Atom bomb would've been too devastating, just an island they were targeting.

Wallow, please explain how a massive rush of energy like that could not have been a nuke. It was not a carpet bombing, it was one big nuke. If their tank shells couldn't kill it, how could bombs kill it? It was a small tactical nuke.

i dont remember completely - but where were they @ the end under the bridge? a nuke would have completely decimated any living thing within xx radius? (im not looking up how devastating a nuke is) BUT if they were like flown 1/2 way across the country then yes it coulda been a nuke.

Did Japan get completely swamped because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? No! The nuclear bomb would've blasted destroying that part of New York City.

I just refused to watch this movie because it was so overhyped and I didn't think it'd be that good.

The advertizing sucked me in but I liked it.
