I enjoyed it... It was a good usage of 1 and a half hours. Do you hate it because you hate Hud or is there something else?

It could have been good but the acting was terrible and you could tell it was green screen, the slanted building wasn't fooling anyone wither. Having one big monster and load of little one's just reminded me of a bad video game.

haha i guess its pretty much hud but there are other things, the special effects were very good, but some of the things they said and how they said them i was just like grrrr so typical. the camera would always be in the right spot to see that bit of blood or whatever.

haha yeah thats exactly what i thought, each of them with little lfe bars, about 3 shots and there dead, and as you get closer to the monster they get bigger and stronger, untill you fight the main thing.

I think it's the dumbest movie I've ever seen. Worst actors I've ever witnessed. I thought it was horrible. I wish I could take back that two hours of my life too.

It was kinda cool but then everyone died(I think idk) and you didn't get to find out anything about the monster or the government or if anyone survived so it was kind of a waste of time

Haven't seen but from what I've gathered it was a pretty average movie with good marketing.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion I suppose. I personally loved the movie and just bought the Blu-Ray disc. Lots of extra content.

It wasn't executed as well as most people thought it would be done, but I liked the idea behind it. Maybe that's why I was the only one that liked the American Godzilla film... *sniffle*

And a giant monster attacking NYC is realistic? It was just a movie, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Though I expected it to be inspired by Lovecraft, mostly because of all the Youtube speculation.

I thought it was an interesting experiment in the giant monster genre, but I feel like it was stretched out to make a full-length motion picture. I would of rather had a 45 minute double feature, but they aren't making those yet.

As for Hud and the over all acting I think many of you are confused. The guy who plays hud isn't a bad actor he's just playing an unlikable character which rarely happens in modern film. Saying they guy playing hud is a bad actor is like saying jar-jar binks was bad CGI.

Meh, I thought it was decent. Not the worst movie ever, but we don't find out what happens to the monster or the rest of the world, and everyone dies in the end. >_> It was pretty suspenseful after the long beginning, but aside from the camera usage it really wasn't original.

We don't know if everyone dies. It is assumed that all major characters from the movie are killed, but it's not clear.

It was stupid. I'm not the kind of person who gets nauseous (car sick, sea sick etc.) but that movie almost made me puke. The plot was ok I guess, but the dialogue.. lol.. that was terrible.

I honestly thought the thing was a farce of American movie-making. "So, that's my idea...simply have a movie involving a mysterious monster with NO backstory whatsoever storming through New York, BUT...the whole thing is seen via shaky cam-footage." "...That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, how could we possibly get people to want to see that!?" "Simple...VIRAL MARKETING!"

the whole idea of having the movie filmed by one of the "screaming civilians" that you see in other monster films rests on it being realistic so you can experiance what it would be like to be one of them

and something i missed off my original post, i didn't care when anyone died which sort of made the way it was filmed pointless

I actually liked it quite a bit. It fell apart a little at the end, and I'm in no hurry to watch it again, but even on the crappy small screen on which I saw it the thrills were delivered.

I really don't know why people hate the characters so much. They were pretty real, actually. Would you honestly have acted differently under the circumstances?

I enjoyed it. It's supposed to simulate a real monster attacking New York, and people filming their terror. Of course they aren't going to be good actors. I thought it was pretty cool.

The only reason I enjoy movies like this is because they do things differently. Make the experience completely new for the viewer. Kinda like what Blair Witch did. You should appreciate that at least.
