If you went to see Cloverfield chances are you left before the credits ran.

Which if you would've stayed you would had heard this which says.... Help us....

So you liked the movie Pat? Did anyone get sick and throw up in the theatre because of all the crazy camera jiggling?

Yeah I liked it. It could've been grittier with more violence but for PG13 that's not gonna happen.
The writer originally wanted a hard R rating but they told him it was too brutal.

I can't believe people get sick from watching it though. The camera didn't bother me at all.

isn't the premise of the film that it was supposedly "found footage" like some video tape discovered later.. that some average joe just shot while all this was going on? Kinda like the Blair witch movie

Yes, which has caused me to lose most of my interest in it after hearing more about the film. They did a good job with the trailers making you wait in suspense...turns out all the crap in the trailers is what the entire movie is. I love old monster films with giant insects, vegetables and reptiles ruining people's days...I was hoping this was a revival of that genre. Nope.

What do you mean? The trailers don't even show the monster or the other monsters because it's not just one monster.

There is no way you get that from any trailers. The movie is nothing like the trailers at all other than the staue getting it's head ripped off.

It's a pretty fun roller coaster ride if you ask me.

I liked it better than I am Legend and AVP2.

I liked the movie - it was a bit jumpy for the big screen no doubt (should have quit after 3 bowls and 1 1/2 bottles of ripple!) but as was already stated that was the premise - good or bad they did at least stick with it until the end. To my way of thinking this was pure classic monster flick, all unknown actors/actrsses, very simple plot, linear time line with no time lapse or jumping around, lots and lots of violence and many many deaths - including main characters. And the monster was at least original, and certainly horrifying - and the clincher - its' smack dab in the middle of NewYork city and tearing the living s**t out of the place - hells yeah!

There's a prehistoric monster
that came from outer space.
Created by the Martians
to destroy the human race.
The FBI is helpless,
it's twenty stories tall!
What can we do, who can we call?
Call Tobor the 8th Man,
Call Tobor the 8th Man.
Faster than a rocket,
quicker than a jet.
He's the mighty robot,
he's the one to get.
Call Tobor the 8th Man.
Quick call Tobor, the mightiest robot of them all!

When I was watching this movie these stupid lyrics came into my head for some reason, from an old old cartoon brought from japan back in the 60's. It was the first cyborg type of cartoon I ever saw. This is the kind of movie to just enjoy the fright it generates - nothing more to it and that's why I liked it.

I'm still gonna go see it, but based on a ton of reviews it's not what I had hoped it would be. I'm not saying it sucks...I haven't seen it yet, but i'm just not as amped up about it.

I'm sure it'll rock.

We'll I would caution you on reading the reviews. From what I have read it's either hate it or love it. It's either A or F and alot of the bad reviews come from people that apparently get motion sickness easy or need everything spelled out for them.
It's not like that. It's about 4 people trying to survive and follow the main character as he tries to save his ex and the woman he loves.

At yahoo movies the 11 critics gave it a a solid B rating. Which for a monster movie is practically unheard of and the people that have watched the movie and have rated it gave it a B- and that's after 5,000 reviews. It's rare and very rare that the critics and viewers agree and on a movie like this ever. The last movie to get that would be Transformers.

The Fandango reviews I read from moviegoers was much more positive.

If you read the negative reviews only then yeah you will have a jaded view when you go and see it.

I just say that you go into this movie with an open mind I'd bet you like it.

And keep in mind that it was made with a low budget and from selling it to the producers without a script and writing and making the film in a short time is even more impressive. Not to mention the impressive marketing.

And which I mentioned before that the writer was shooting for a hard R rating but the studios shot it down for a PG13.

Which is typical now because PG13 makes alot and I mean alot more than a rough R movie. The original was shot donw for being too brutal.

It's the economics of what you want to make vs what you are allowed to make.

You can listen to those assholes or listen to me and go in with an open mind and have fun with it.
