Cloverfield.....

Wow.

That movie was incredibly atmospheric, via the camera work (brilliant), and one of the most intense movies I have seen in a good while. I am not calling this the best movie I have ever seen, far from it; yet, that was the most intense thriller I have seen to date. If anyone else wants to comment go ahead. I just finished the movie and decided to share my take on it.

actually i think it was one of the most disappointing films I have ever seen. I went in expecting one thing and they gave me another. I wanted a realistic monster movie, with camera work that looked like a real home video ( not that super high quality stuff that makes it see like the guy was rich and had a Hollywood camera, tock away from the whole point of making it look home made). I also expected more of the monster and more of a survival movie. What I got instead was a cliche save the dame in distress horror movie that feel victim, like most horror films, to the ever so stupid main characters with an IQ of 50. From thee tipped over building to the spike in the chest and then some how recovering and acting perfectly fine, the end just topped off the dumb plot with a final scene of stupidity with the entire building scene.

Good idea. I will do that tomorrow morning. This movie is truly unique in its presentation and an outstanding feat through its intense and white-knuckled story telling. I highly reccomend this movie to any but the squeemish.

A couple of years back a man driving home from work crashed through a highway barrier and his car fell into a small revine. He was impaled by a branch and lived to tell the tale. As long as the pipe went through no major organs it is entirely plausible that she could have walked away from that.

While the damsel in distress has been done many times before, that doesn't mean that it was done poorly. The character obviously did not have an IQ of 50 and if you truly believe so than there is irony present that I need not explain. I respect your opinion and respectably disagree.

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that it was stupid. Plus it made me motion sick. And I never get motion sickness.

Cheap terrible movie.

Story is suck, camera work make me sick.

Did you say that in the other thread, too?

I thought Cloverfield has a great atmosphere and really sucked you in. The character's weren't too bad they could have been better. The Host was probably better imo.trentman7

i thought The Host was ten times better
