Delivers it's promises

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2008)

I have been waiting for this movie ever since I caught a glimpse of the teaser on the net with great anticipation. I was really expecting a disappointment, very much like the last half hour of I Am Legend. But where I am Legend fails, Cloverfield delivers to the fullest.
It leaves you hanging by the edge if the seat, there are times that when you want to to grab the camera yourself ti see what's going to happen.It's scary and edgy and exciting and some scenes do remind you of 9/11, but not in a cheesy way. Most surprising for an American action flick is the lack of cheese. (Again, I Am Legend is the perfect example on how to ruin a great idea)
In short it's a very exciting movie, very well done and acted, worthwhile seeing and a definite must see on the big screen
