Better than 2008 for sure.

Rating: 9/10 (8 November 2019)

The 2008 Cloverfield was a great movie. Mistery, action, a little humor here and there, etc. My only problem with that one was the dark ending with the words that echoe around after I'm done, "I had a great day". This movie ends off with a little more hope. Sure the sci-fi was a little abrupt, but it was hinted at the whole movie, but sci-fi movies seem to be Abrams best work.
John Goodman played a damn good villain in this movie. He was mysterious, cold, yet sort of funny with his wierd personality. The chilling score that plays throughout the movie helps with the mystery as well. This was much better than the 2008 one in my opinion.
