Oh my god, I thought this movie was horrible. I saw it with three of my best friends and they all loved it, but i thought it was just TERRIBLE. The camera was so shaky (even though it was on purpose) and it just gave me a headache after awhile. The ending was SO lame, so bad. And all the attacks were just plain hysterical. I was cracking up the entire time because it was that bad. Maybe that's just me though.

I thought it was okay, not one of my top movies.

The biggest beef I have with Cloverfield is just that, in MY OPINION, the whole idea of the movie was stupid. I think it is like War of the Worlds meets Godzilla. I mean, when you think about it, if Rob, Hud, Lily, and Marlena didn't go back for Beth, then instead of 4 of them dying, only one of them would have died. (Assuming they would have gotten out of the city alive when Rob said, in the alley, that the other three should join the troops escorting people out). And the ending was just... cheesey. They say I love you then die. Typical. And what was with the guy from the Army pretty much just being like, "Okay, sure, go back into the city, save your friend, and die, what do I care?" Not practical, even for a movie. And I'm sorry, but the little creatures that fell off the monster remind me of the little head suckers from Half Life, only, you know, minus the head sucking part.

But... whatever. A lot of people liked it, so I guess it's a love it/hate it kind of movie. I just happened to hate it.
