Cloverfield is Godzilla meets Blair Witch and better than BOTH!

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2008)

There was so much viral marketing of this film and so many people have gotten caught up in what this means and what connection that has with this or that, including what Cloverfield means or if the creature in the movie is Cthulu of Lovecraftian Fame. It is NOT for those that know Lovecraft. But I digress.
The movie was wonderful and did exactly as it was meant to do. It gave you a snippet of a terrible happening that we will never know the meaning or origins of. We can only, as in any other movies, try to empathize with the characters if the directors and actors know what they are doing. For not having any BIG names, they all did quite well as actors in putting me right into their shoes.
Yes, there were questions all along but that made it even more suspenseful and intense. I am not a person who questions everything. I get on a roller-coaster and ride it. I don't wonder while I'm riding it HOW it works and how this and that, I JUST RIDE IT!!
Do the same and you will enjoy this movie. As I said in caption, it is Godzilla meets Blair Witch and it does it perfectly. For those that pan the film are the same people that sit next to you in the theater going, "What does that mean?", "Is that the killer?", "Who is that?", "What are they doing?". Tell them to shut up and watch and see what happens.
The movie ends perfectly as well as it begins. Life to Life and in the middle we have a mess called reality even if it is unimaginable, it happens.
