[Spoiler] Cloverfield Monster Revealed.

[CobraBob]

I have a feeling this movie will be a plot let-down like "I Am Legend" was.

I think why I was so dissapointed is because of the way they marketed the movie. They did a damn good job. I guess they knew that the movie couldn't stand on its own merits so they concealed everything so as to draw off peoples need to know. That was the only way this was going to make any real money for them. Brilliant for them, sucks for me.

I believe I saw it too. Was it a splash out in the distance behind the boat?

did it happen when they were at coney island? i missed it

Yeah. It was out in the distance on the very last shot when they were looking out the ocean.

The movie was ok and I only spen $5 on it. I would go see the 2nd one just to know more about it. I like the part when they start screaming "she is bitten" yank her out of the way to a room and you see her blow up. that was awesome.

Just saw it. It had some parts that made you jump. It does keep your attention, however the story failed miserably. From what I learned about making movies, or writing stories you really need to have a beginning, middle, and end. With no ending there better be a good sequel.

Having said that, if I were to write the script for the next one I would shoot it like a real movie and have it take place during the same time. It could focus on the military standoff with the creature, and give more details. They could also continue on to show the creatures destruction, or triumph. That is about the only way that I could see a sequel being done, or else you would end up with something like Blair Witch 2.

horrible movie! story could have been a lot better.

That IS NOT the Cloverfield monster. Went to the ATL premier last night(won tickets from a local radio station) and the monster looks nothing like that. No Rancor elements at all. As far as the movie goes, it was pretty good. Kinda short at only an hour and a half. I liked it.

Did you have your eyes closed? The 4th picture looks exactly like it.

I read this dude's review and I'm convinced to go see it, sounds like a different type of movie. Maybe not a crowd pleaser, but a different one with no music, no explanation, none of the things in your typical "monster" movie.

I'm glad I didn't spend 10 dollars just to get dizzy and throw up.

 

[jlauth]

cool, I think this movie has too much hype. I won't see it in theatres unless it gets awesome reviews

your loss bud.

 

[ford_racer]

I thought this show was loosely based on a trip Hillary Clinton had made to New York.


They look the same anyhow.

 

[spinz4]

your loss bud.

actually he's the smart one, unlike our dumbasses who saw a shit movie. Here's my review.


movie sucked. would not recommend it. It's like a more expensive version of blaire witch project. The story, character development sucked. The movie was very predictable.

 

[kaotic]

Sounds to me like there was no real storyline or plot. :shrug: If you never learn any background on the creature, then IMO you fail at telling the story. I will maybe wait till the DVD release. I am sure that it is suspenseful and what not, but I would leave the movie feeling like I got duped if I didn't find out where or what the creature is.

-Jeff

Did you expect that someone in the party "coincidentally" to be some kind of scientist and explain what and where it came from to the audience?? The mystery is up to you,, is it an alien or was it from the ocean?? We wont know unless they explain it in a sequel.

Yes that is the Cloverfield Monster. Did you actually watch the movie?:shrug:

my bro said the movie sucked and people booed at the end. thats all the info i need

This movie is a love/hate thing. The director also made the show "LOST" and that show is probably one of teh best examples of love/hate. This movie and his show share many of the same quality's. I suggest anybody goes to see this movie and be the judge for themselves.

Everyone is complaining that they didn't explain enough and things like that. The movie accomplished exactly what it was intended for - to give you the point of view and information (or lack of) that you would have if you were actually there. In a conventional movie, you get to see multiple points of views, even the insider information, that is, you see and learn things about the movie that even the characters don't know. People are accustomed to the wealth of information that a conventional movie gives you, so this movie "seems" to be missing something. You only get a single point of view. This movie just wasn't conventional and the more I think about it, the more it appeals to me - as long as I take it for what it was intended.

 

[R1Lello]

Just watched it last night...........Bring Advil if you plan to stay thru the whole hour and 15 minutes......you'll need it with the camera shake.............worst movie ever!!! Save your money
