Cloverfield was good

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2008)

Well, I admit, I expected to come out nauseous after this movie. Amazingly, I didn't. I thought it was perfect. Much different then what you expect. A lot of people were angry that there was no story behind the monster, well what do you expect, it is done with a hand held camera in first person, your average New Yorker won't know what's happening. A lot of people were angry at the fact that you didn't get to see the movie that much, well what do you want the camera man to do, turn around and get trampled by the monster trying to get a good shot of it? I wouldn't. The monster, even with the little screen time, was brilliant in design, the monsters it dropped were really cool, the way people would explode if they got bitten was really cool. Above all, this movie was unique and very well made. So why do i give this a 7/10 instead of 10/10, well (oh no, bad news!) Why would the group go to save a girl that across town were the monster is (I would run away).When they find the girl, she has a steel bar through her, she should have been dead of blood loss. When the monster hits the helicopter it crashes, no one should have survived that crash. Why would the monster only nibble on the camera man instead of eating him whole? To finish this off, a lot of people were disappointed with the ending, But like the the monster's origin, how would a camera capture the monster dying (if it does) if a bridge just collapsed on it? Well, I liked the movie, others may, others may not but I liked it.
