Don't Listen to The Small Minded, This Movie is Great.

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2008)

I was very anxious to see the film, not only because the concept of a Monster attack on New York, but the fact that they kept the monster a mystery until the film came out for release and the fact that it was shot in the eyes of people trying to survive, if it were to be a big budget film like Godzilla, which sucked, then I would have passed. Now the movie does start out a little slow, but if you pay attention to the characters, you can tell who will live and who won't, and to see that they are real people, not heroes. Now if you are some sap where you want every detail given to you like you are some robot and have no taste for a real film, then you should stay home and leave the rest of us to enjoy the movie. I mean if you know your an a##-hole, why rub it in our faces. But back to the movie, I felt the camera work was the best part, and you can't even compare this to Blair Witch, it gave the movie a more realistic feeling and it stayed away from the same old story line where we have a solution for everything. In reality people, if a monster did attack us, we would be fuc%@^ Just like in the movie. Now the look of the monster was the best choice for a because it was different, scary, and had no background story, so it made it more intense. Now for the ending, perfect, just how it should have ended. So don't expect to see a Disney B.S. ending where everyone sings and is happy, it's a monster movie, that ending doesn't exist. I highly recommend the film to the people who really get movies, not the ones who like Meet the Spartans. It's a great film, very original for a known concept, and will leave you with a new idea of what film making is turning into, not the same old crap.
