A lot of people say that they hated it, probably just to be opposite

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2010)

This is not a movie which tries to get people's attention in order to do well at the box office. In other words, what people call, not pretentious. J. J. Abrahams is one of this movie's producers, but Cloerfield was not appreciated, even the half of it as Star Trek was appreciated. Instead, there are a lot of people who say that they hated it and there are a lot of people either who give it only 1! There is not even one flawed moment in the movie on all counts and acting that is criticized by the haters is not amateurish at all. I did not understand why it is criticized. All the actors and actresses are amateur, but the acting is not amateurish, very persuasive. Cloverfield is extremely realistic that makes it much more effective. It is because all the things seem extremely realistic, how is it called? Documentary style. The most unusual opening sequence for such a movie is in Cloverfield I guess. The mood, the atmosphere are very interesting and it is like someone records a party rather than the director introduces the characters of a monster movie to us. Therefore, it starts like a stylish drama. However, it is not like party, girls, drinks, chats and music, something different. I just can't describe it. Because of realism? or because of another reason? I don't know. As for the first attack, I haven't seen such an engaging and impressive one before. This is much more than panicked people run and scream and a monster attacks them, really it is too hard to describe how it is impressive, brilliant. Almost everyone compares the movie with other mockumentaries which is unnecessary, if you ask me. By this style, the movie does not become an imitation or pretentious, it makes it real effective. Then, why realism does not effect people? It seems that the haters do not care about whether it is extremely realistic or not. I put myself in the characters's place, panicked as if I am in there and I worried about each of them. By the way, there is an action scene which the forces clash with the monster and it was much more satisfying than even the whole War of the Worlds!! The subway scenes are one of the best parts of the movie, also one of the most realistic parts of the movie, it was like it could happen and also so sad. The movie, Gwoemul was very appreciated, people say that it was dramatic that generally other monster movies are lack of, believe me, it is nothing. And the final. Very exciting and at the same time dramatic. However not for everyone, especially if you don't like unconventional finals. Lastly, this is one of the most engaging movies ever.
