Great Movie, don't listen to the haters.

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2008)

A giant monster attacks New York, and three friends try to survive it. Thats all the movie is. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's not a bad thing. It's not meant to be a winding story with twists around every corner. It's meant to be a fun, simple story. The acting buy pretty much a bunch of unknown actors and actresses is really great. They didn't overplay it, and they made it believable that a monster is attacking. The story isn't entirely original, but its great none the less. The special effects are amazing,and the monster is very unique.
In my opinion and from what i've read, the majority of people who don't like this movie are usually the people who like every little thing in a movie explained in extreme detail or people who need the movie to be as realistic as possible. If you're a person like this, let me warn you. Most likely, you will not like this film. There's no scientist who pops up randomly and explains the monsters existence and explains why it's attacking New York. And this movie is less than unrealistic. Just think about what its about.
All in all, this movie was highly entertaining. And that's all it was made to do. Entertain. Its not supposed to supply you with a complex story line. It's just meant to be fun. And i think it served its purpose pretty damn well.
