Super 8

How was it like cloverfield in anyway

it was nothing like it.

They're nothing alike. The only possible similarities it has to clover field is that there's a monster, you don't know what it looks like till three quarters of the way into the movie, and there's a camera involved.

Sounds like you described both movies, very well, just now. 😐

I have not see Super 8, yet. So I will reserve my judgment until then. Still in teh queueueueueeueueueueue!

Uuhh... they're both creature-features to some extent with human drama surrounding it. I don't see how anyone could not see the similarities. They only feel a little bit different because Cloverfield used the hand-held camera gimmick while Super 8 has a more Spielbergian directorial style. (I might have just made up the word "directorial," lol I dunno)

The monster in this movie does look quite alot like the Cloverfield monster imo.

The face is different but they're both grey, long multi-legged monsters. The heads the same shape, the texture is the same, they have the same walk and leg shape and theres just a wierd feeling that makes me think they were animated by the same team. No joke as I watched the movie i got Cloverfield vibes.

Maybe you guys are all just dumb unlike me.

One gets captured by the US Army meanwhile the other does'nt

yeah so much like Cloverfield.

Yeah the storyline is pretty much completely different.

But yeah the creatures do look similar probably because both movies had Abrams work on them.

They don't look that similar to be honestly.

Also, Jesus, the Cloverfield monster looks so much goofier in pictures lol.

They're both pretty goofy. That reminds me of something else annoying about Super 8: whatever happened to real life animatronics? It's always better. Worked very nicely for Jurassic Park, so it should be used more frequently.
