Once you get past this stuff:
1. Long boring opening sequence
2. Bomb proof monster
3. No tits
4. Excessive shaky cam
It's a fun and kinda cool "big monster" movie.

Did Michael Jackson get killed by the monster?

Re: Cloverfield
It was a cool flick. I listed the only problems I had with it.
Re: Cloverfield
Blah. I think I would have hurled if I saw it on the big screen.
JJA said that he wanted to make an "iconic" monster for the US like Godzilla is for Japan? Good luck. Missed by a mile. It's just this big thing (an infant, or so he says) flailing around.
Somehow it just didn't do anything for me.

Re: Cloverfield
Saw it last night, the first 10 minutes were like watching a reality show about people I can't stand and then BAMN!
Hardcore, great flick.
Anyone notice that the monster was not always the same size? I think those things turn into big ones, plus it would explain the fact that the thing was hit with a shit load of ordenance that seemed to hurt it but did not put it down. With the fact that we only got one POV and very little info I think they were battleing a few big ones thast they might have killed one or two along with a shit load the M-4 doable little basterds. (if you can kill it with a fireaxe then a 5.56 carbine with burst mode can do it as well.)
I hope he does a sequal, The mystery of it made this a good flick but I want one where we find out what and where it came from and if leveling Manhattan with conventional bombardment stopped the thing or not.

Re: Cloverfield
I don't remember if a sequel was really considered, though I did hear, at one point, that they were going to do the same exact time filmed with another camera from another viewpoint.

I thought it was awesome. I love POV flicks.

Re: Cloverfield
The scenes where the military is fighting the monster were awesome to see. Boring characters and cheap camera tricks makes me happy I watched it with Rifftrax.
