Those blasting this movie just don't "get it". The Instant Gratification Generation needs everything explained to them and on top of that they want ALL the facts spoon fed to them. If that's what you're looking for, Cloverfield is not your movie. This film is deeper than most dramas, more suspenseful than most thrillers, and better than any recent monster type film. I have to admit, while stylistically perfect for the film, I grew tired of the shaky camera work. That is probably the only reason I won't watch this film twice...at least not for a while. This film is creepy the way all good horror/monster films should be. It harkens back to a day when simple elements of light (a la Creature From The Black Lagoon) create suspense. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! 2 of 3 customers found the following review helpful: Surprisingly effective, 2008-09-26 Cloverfield is more than a mediocre monster film. It is actually pretty darn good. Not great, but entertaining enough at 84 minutes to keep you interested from beginning to unconventional end, which is not something we usually see. I will not spoil anything, but this film is unlike most monster films. Besides the fact that there is a huge monster and it is attacking NYC and its people, the similarities stop there. There is no scientific mumbo jumbo, no real type of help, per se. There is just a small group of people and a video camera. We see what they see. Nothing more. It's pretty neat, and unlike the boring Blair Witch Project, actually effective, though I can imagine some people getting physically sick while watching this. The other thing I was surprised about was that we actually got to learn quite a bit about the few characters. You actually care what happens to them. The effects are pretty cool and the monster itself is quite interesting, especially the way it moves. Clearly alot of thought was put into the design. There is no musical score in the film, which actually makes it seem more believable and real. The film does have its flaws however. First, and most probably the biggest; it is not very scary, nor terribly suspenseful until about the last 10 minutes. Almost nothing is explained nor really resolved, but then again, we are only seeing what the characters see, nothing more, so I can't really fault that. I found it exciting and enjoyable and would love to see some kind of a sequel, which I think would benefit this film even more. The special features on the dvd are minute but kind of cool. Green Screen stuff, commentary. The alternate endings are almost undistinguishable from the original one, and not anything special. Even the bloopers were just eh. All in all, a pretty fun ride, nothing more, nothing less. 1 of 3 customers found the following review helpful: Best MOTY IMO, 2008-09-22 Fast Shipping and a really awesome movie.. blu-ray no doubt. What more can i say? 1 of 3 customers found the following review helpful: Fun, 2008-09-22 Good Times!I've always liked old fashioned monster movies, so this was a fun take on them. 3 of 4 customers found the following review helpful: Horrible, 2008-09-22 I rented this movie thinking that it was going to be spooky and suspenseful, considering how little they led on about the movie, I thought it was going to make it that much better. Well, just to rent the movie cost me less than a dollar, but I still want a REFUND! This is the only movie I'd say don't waste your time with. Don't even rent it. 2nd worst movie I've seen in my entire life.
