Utterly irritating

Rating: 1/10 (18 May 2008)

OK, so the shaky handy cam was cool in Blair Witch, when it was a new idea and they made the film on a shoestring. However, this film has bad acting, a stupid premise, and is nothing other than annoying start to finish.
Why would you try to run towards a monster that's ripping down skyscrapers? Where were the authorities that would stop you at the barricades even if you were stupid enough to try? Why would you go down into the subway even if you could, and why were there no other people down there? This is New York, right?
Haven't there been enough TV series with the shaky camera for people by now?
Oh yeah, and there's no resolution.
The characters are completely uninteresting and unconvincing.
The dialog is about as stupid as stupid gets.
The ONLY good part was the helicopter crash. The only time I actually felt anything other than bored and annoyed at the whole affair.
I can see there's many out there who liked - or even loved - it. No accounting for taste, I guess.
As far as I'm concerned, this is not film making. Don't waste your time.
