It's a joyride roller-coaster, deserves rating 7.5

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2016)

First of all, unlike the original Cloverfield, you can feel 60% of JJ Abrams influence in this movie. The dialogue, camera angle shot, and even the terrible CGI(like The Force Awakens), you can see JJ's touch.
All three main casts delivered a unique performance that matched with this movie tone. I can't say their acting is good, but somehow good acting isn't required for this movie. They are very fun to watch, especially Emmet's Gallager. And Bradley Cooper, although we can only hear his voice in this movie, surprisingly it sounds very convincing and contributing a portion of significant role in this movie.
Right from the start, we hardly able to guess what will happen in the next scene. And the scene when Howard killed Emmet is the biggest unexpected moment of all(remember Kylo Ren killed Han Solo?). That is very JJ Abrams trademark.
I know there were various alternate ending, but why they chose this version of ending I think is pretty understandable, that they tried to avoid another additional characters to be involved. Good movie though. Oh, Mary E. Winstead is so sexy in this, and a little bit fat.
