Why can't a disaster movie ever have REAL people?!

Rating: 1/10 (26 September 2013)

Don't know why, but never saw Cloverfield until the other night, and didn't really know what the movie was about. Just saw a 77 Rotten T rating on Direct TV and taped it. To say this is one of the worst film I've even sat through is an understatement! Yes, it completely rips off The Blair Witch, who is now a 500 foot monster in New York City. I'm mind-boggled how anyone with any sense could find this movie even the slightest bit entertaining.??? It drags on in the beginning with "Hud" (TJ Miller) who is given a hand-held video recorder to film comments about some friends who are preparing for marriage. BORING. Of course the camera wiggles and goes in and out of focus to the point of migraine. BTW, how did Miller ever get an acting job. You only hear his voice through 99% of the movie, and that's annoying enough! So the monster FINALLY shows up and people do what they always do in Hollywood movies.... The exact opposite of reality. If you see a 500 ft monster destroying NYC and a friend wants to go straight towards it, to save his girlfriend who is injured, you're not going to follow. More like, "You are crazy, and if you go it's on your own, idiot!" Oh, and when your buddy holding the camera continuously films your friends getting killed cause "people will need to see this," instead of turning the damn thing off and helping, you're probably going to kill or seriously injure him. It was so stupid!!! You also know that, like in Blair Witch, they are all going to die and the camera will capture it. Took me 5 min to figure that one out. Oh yeah, the guy actually does get to his injured girlfriend. Yeah, she's got a piece of rebar sticking out through her chest from the building she was in falling over. She's not dead. Nope, she is very much alive, and is then violently pulled of the rebar, and then continues to run around, seemingly unhurt, the rest of the film. Of course, only until she's killed in the last scene... A "7" score on IMDb??? Is this for real, or is this as science fiction as the characters in this awful movie. Oh, there's a sequel coming. Wow!
