Cloverfield is a good film. Like The Blair Witch Project it puts you in the midst of the action with a camcorder. This is good because the immediacy of the situation is well realized and the chaos truly captured. In a nutshell a giant creature wrecks havoc on the big apple(yet again) and we are with a group of 20 somethings when it happens. The pacing is what makes this film- I remember watching for the first 20 minutes nothing happens and then once the carnage begins it's a roller coaster. The actors are all adequate and the effects are quite good. If you want good entertainment Cloverfield is the movie for you.
... View MoreI've watched a good deal of bad movies, hell, I make it a habit of watching them, yet I always end up finding entertainment value on them. I couldn't find a single redeeming factor about this movie. It just feels like a pure waste in all aspects. The footage style is atrocious. I could bear with it if the story and the ending had any redeeming value. I'd rather watch paint dry if I knew this movie was this bad.How it managed to get a 7/10 rating is beyond me, but who cares. A polished turd is still a turd.

The acting in this movie was pathetic, with all the heavy breathing and every scene being predictable. There was absolutely no creativity in any part of the movie. Even the C.G.I was unbelievable. This movie makes my top ten list of the worst movies ever made. If you have not watched this movie, Please don't waste your time.
