I didn't see the "blair witch project"

Rating: 1/10 (22 April 2008)

I don't know what possessed anyone to think that this sort of filming was a good idea, but I hope this does not get to be a habit. For the producers of this film, I do not enjoy watching a movie "through a straw". This type of filming could easily have been used in the movie and still given us a great film. And furthermore, anyone who was alive and watching 9/11 knows that this was nothing short of a very bad joke. The worst amateur photographer would have done better. According to my nieces who saw this movie at the theatre, it simply made them sick to their stomachs. They left the movie early.
You had such a great monster that was ruined by the filming and the main character 'Rob'. I have an idea, go back and treat this movie as a documentary, put in a real beginning and add commentary, show us 'how, when, where, why, and what' about this monster, then put in a real ending showing whether the world survived or not (we don't care which), re-release it as a DVD and we might even accept it as a decent film. Rob and his friends should have been secondary to the actual story of Manhattan being eaten by a monster. That Is A Great Story!!! But this is the worse film I have ever seen. "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", as a bad joke, was at least funny.
I so looked forward to seeing this movie and was greatly let down. This could have been a masterpiece. The greatest thing about this movie was the monster, which we didn't get enough of. Sometimes you "artistic" types think you are doing something great when what you don't get is sometimes your 'vision' doesn't translate at all. I didn't see the 'blair witch project', and now I never will. "Cloverfield" could have been done SO much better, it could have been a classic. But thanks to "artistic" thinking this movie is garbage. I love "Lost", hate "Cloverfield". Think about it, why does "Lost" work????? If you don't know, why don't you ask your audience?
"Cloverfield"...oh dear god, what were you thinking??? very disappointed. try again guys!!!
