Thanks to J. J., the potential of Cloverfield is LOST

Rating: 1/10 (3 April 2008)

Overall I liked the monsters look and style, but hated most of the rest. I thought the camera use was pointless, the 9/11 type sense a blatant attempt to try and evoke those thoughts and memories when it really did not pull it off as good as Godzilla does for japan. It was just blatant. Abrams does his thing which works for LOST and other soap opera type shows, but I wanted to at least learn something about the monster. Key questions that remain unanswered, What exactly is the monster? where did it come from? what caused it? how is the government involved?. This movie is like so many lost episodes, it will answer one question (what does the monster look like), and offer up about 10 more questions without answering them.
