    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks
  • most people just say that because there's a lot of hype put into the movies and they know there's a tons of fans so they like to play that part. kinda like the one guy who's never watched basketball but is rooting against the team that everyone in the entire room is going for. very very annoying. no logic behing it... it just is.

    but i can see what people disliked about the ending... i kinda didn't like it either. but then all the better cause that means that there might be a part 2... :D

    Yeah, I think it's one of those movies you either love or you hate- no in-between.

    There have been comparisons to the Blair Witch Project because of the handycam aspect, otherwise they're not similar except that I remember with Blair Witch, people either loved it or hated it. People hated it because you never saw the witch. And in Cloverfield the monster isn't seen much. Some people need to be handed everything rather than using their imaginations.

    It's why a book is always better than a movie.

    I see it as an IQ test of sorts.

    Did you Cloverfield lovers like Blair Witch?

    **Note to those who havent seen it...keep your eyes open during the final two minutes of the movie...theres a little something you might see that will explain where the monster came from**


    SPOILER***



















    you're definitely talking about the splash or explosion in the ocean.....

    that was freaking awesome!!!

    The object falling from the sky is a piece of a Japanese satellite.
    The Tagruato website even has a fake article mentioning this.

  • Finally saw this movie last night...

    I absolutely hated it. The acting was ridiculously bad and really took away from any positives the movie did have.

    Good special effects. I didn't have any problem with how it ended.

    Just the damn "acting" ruined it altogether.
  • I haven't seen it yet. It reminds me of the blairwitch project with the shaky camera work.
    So you buried all your lover's clothes
    and burned the letters lover wrote,
    but it doesn't make it any better.
    Does it make it any better?
  • other than the annoying camera man's constant attempt at comic relief, it was pretty decent

    It had some good bits, but overall it ended feeling unfinished. Good for the realism. Bad for the audience's impression.

  • When I was a kid, I can remember watching the Raymond Burr Godzilla and thinking, "Man, we would be totally fucked if a giant monster started rampaging around." This movie was a ton of fun for anyone who loved that idea and could have fun with it on a B-movie, shlock-factor kind of way. I didn't expect it to be a Scorsese flick, or even a Spielberg, but it harkened back to the saturday matinee "creature features" I loved as a kid. But now I can enjoy it with a bourbon or a beer!

    ok

    Right, duh. I only played that record 10,000 times in grade 6, I shouldn't have made that mistake, lol.

    This seems like it taking place in the days following the monster attack, but more focused on the human element. The budget is small (a third of the original), so Im assuming there will be very little Monster FX used.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt

    And it's the original version by Tommy James and the Shondells from 1967. It's just slowed down during the chorus.

    yup

    I like that nobody knew there would be a sequel. And it just came out of nowhere. Hard these days to not have something leaked out
