Cloverfield Exceeded Expectations

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2008)

I went into this film thinking about all the hype and being worried about it not living up to it but to me Cloverfield definitely did and exceeded the expectations I had. I have always liked the idea of our own Godzilla or something like that and Cloverfield did a great job of giving it to us. Honestly I was pretty freaked out by the whole idea of a giant monster just destroying everything and this didn't help. Although the first person camera view has been done before I think Cloverfield just made it better, it personalized this genre of movies. The special effects were amazing and the acting made it seem real. All of the characters are easy to relate to. I say this may be one of the best of the year to me. Everyone should go see this film.
