Film What did people think of Cloverfield?

[old.user4556]

Saw it tonight, wasn't bad, too much fucking around at the start and a meh ending. General popcorn muncher.

 

[ECA]

Godzilla with shakey cam.

It was a pretty decent movie, nothing amazing but worth a watch.

 

[00dave]

lol last time I watched that I was in JFK airport.

 

[Moriath]

hate shakey cam stuff .. its barable with the bourne films but not with this

 

[Ch3tan]

It's average, not shit, not great. I'd watch it again, I wouldn't buy it though.

 

[Raven]

Was OK, nothing amazing. Some parts annoyed me about the general patheticnes of some of the characters

 

[Lollie]

its not often i'll root for the monster but i did in this one, hated the characters and thier screams/whining and that shaky cam

 

[Vasconcelos]

Not the best movie Ive seen but not the worst. 1,5 hrs of entertainment.

That's what I thought, I didn't really give much of a shit about the characters.

 

[chipper]

could have been alot better, tried to be atmospheric but you just got bored waiting to see what was attacking. and the ending was shit

 

[Chilly]

shakycam shite

 

[PLightstar]

I did enjoy it, until they showed the monster, it would be have been better if they never showed it, as it looked rubbish.

 

[Scouse]

Pretty but totally vacuous shite IMHO.

Also, hated the characters. Really hated them. Wished quick death so I could get out of the cinema quickly.

 

[old.user4556]

I think the Americans would have lapped it up, there was plenty "dude" and "bro" - dunno about England, but that doesn't wash well up here.

 

[tierk]

Crap.

 

[dysfunction]

I got bored watching it...and a bit annoyed with the cam shake stuff so I didnt enjoy it

 

[rynnor]

I quite liked it but then I watched it on DVD and fast forwarded thru the first 30mins? of talky crap and got onto the interesting bit.

I agree the people were annoying but you did get the satisfaction of seeing them die horribly so not a total loss

Shame there was almost no plot.

 

[Overdriven]

Next one is meant to be even 'better'.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Great idea, poor execution.

I thought the monster was pretty ace though.

 

[rynnor]

Next one is meant to be even 'better'.

It will be better in one respect - they are dumping the shaky camera work for the second one.

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

I quite liked it.

 

[StRaNgEdAyS]

I felt somewhat violated after watching it.
I really wanted to see what happened to a bite victim. It sucked balls the way they hid what was possibly the best piece of the entire movie.

 

[TdC]

hehe my thoughts exactly mate. also I was quite disappointed when they unveiled the monster :/

 

[Wazzerphuk]

The monster was the best thing in the whole film ffs you heathens.

 

[TdC]

I liked the anty things more tbh.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

They were VERY Half-Life.
