I can't believe I sat throuh something so insulting. It was like Youtube: The Movie, except without the benefit of being able to search for Dio videos.

Best movie I've seen in 2008

(I've only seen that movie)

Regardless of that, I really liked it.

i liked it, but find the complaints valid

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #6 on:** May 23, 2008, 04:16:42 PM »

I also really liked it, but like Eric P, find the complaints valid. Almost all the characters are unlikeable.

Liked it a lot. Different and interesting take on the big monster movie genre.

Sometimes the camera shook way too much [I understand why it did, but still], but other than that I really liked it.

I liked Cloverfield a lot. Great movie for the theatre, though I imagine someone just now watching it on DVD will not get much out of it.

He is a very specific man.

Shouldn't you be going against popular opinion?

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #21 on:** May 24, 2008, 08:37:56 PM »

thank you for the REAL TALK, Cohen! I hated Cloverfield from the time I saw it opening night. Incoherent, uninteresting, poorly made and unfrightening piece of crap.

That and PJ's King Kong.

You might as well tell me that you dislike Led Zeppelin and The Beatles. Couldn't be any more dead to me after that.

Whatever. Im done arguing with you. Besides, you think Jurassic Park, Temple of Doom and King Kong are great movies. I should be happy that my tastes draw such venomous responses from you.

Thats fine. You also happen to be awesome. Shinobi just comes off like a prick in almost every post. So for you, its a case of different strokes, but for Shinobi, its ZOMG YER TASTE SUX. Self-imposed double standards FTW.

One of the best movies of the year. I absolutely loved Cloverfield.

APF · « **Reply #33 on:** May 26, 2008, 12:38:13 PM »

I think it had a novel perspective, but could have done a lot better. The movie didn't make me care about the characters, which is a crime given that the movie is forcing me to see from their POV. Nor did it make me believe in the characters' motivations, and the plot contrivances along those lines weren't convincing in the least (they have to literally impale the girl on the spot to explain why she hasn't left her apt?) It wasn't a "fun" movie, nor was the action particularly interesting, but I can understand liking the camera / shot contrivance and the fact that it didn't lay everything out for you (although Children of Men f/e did that a lot better).
