Cloverfield

Wow.

I just now watched this movie for the first time. I gotta say, I was impressed. Aside from the dizzy camera movements, the film captured my attention throughout, and I loved the tragic ending. Those kind of endings are the best, in my opinion.

Wow, shocked to hear someone actually say something good about Cloverfield. In my opinion, the movie was bad. The only good thing about it was the excitement and the need to found out who the "monster" is. Other than that the movie was a wreck. The camera moving around was king getting me dizzy.

The ending was so good. It could have been better, but I liked how it was captured on the video.

the movie was frickin awesome,exactly what a good sci-fi head like j.j abrams would make.it was perfect,actually(then again,i could handle the jitter-cam)

It was a good movie, but not great, in all honesty. I liked the sincere emotion conveyed by the actors, especially during the helicopter crash, and the final scene underneath the bridge.

I may watch it again, but not anytime soon. The camera work is just too shaky for me to watch this again any time soon, much less buy the dvd.

Have you seen Rec. or the remake of it?

Yup. It was a good time killer film, but nothing special. A classic case of style trumping substance in my opinion.

No, I haven't. I have heard that Quarantine (the American remake) was shit.

Is [REC] any good for a Spanish film?

Rec is good, very good.

Even for a shaky cam film?

Yeah. It's one of the better ones, I think.

Cool. I'll have to rent it sometime this next weekend.

Still, I think that Cloverfield was a good movie, but not awesome.

Yeah, it was pretty cool. I saw Quarantine, and it wasn't all that great, some parts were pretty cool in it, but I'd watch Rec when you can.

I was meh with Cloverfield. I give it a 5.5 to a 6 out of 10. I hate shaky camera work. It was okay for cloverfield because it was supposedly done by a dude, mostly, that had almost 0 experience with a cam. Some parts of the film come off much too professionally done. Other parts seem amaturish...like it's supposed to.

I would have preferred the "camera's not here", though.

I liked Cloverfield, but it could have been much better

A year went by and there's still no word on a Cloverfield 2. Is J.J. still busy with that Invisible Woman movie because Abrams said before planning to make a sequel for Cloverfield he has to finish The Invisible Woman first.

That would've defeated the purpose of the movie. If they'd done it that way then it'd just be another monster flick.

I believe J.J. has put it on the back burner for now

I wonder why considering how well received and successful the movie was....?

And, no, it could have still followed just that group, but it would have lost that authentic amateur camera feel to it. (Which was exactly what I didn't like about it. hooooooray!)
