Not bad, but a bit overrated...

Rating: 6/10 (29 June 2013)

Cloverfield is a found footage film about a monster attack on the city of New York. While it's not a bad film, it's a bit overrated for a couple of reasons, but is okay overall.
The first 30 or 40 minutes or so are good, but after that it starts to get old (with a few exceptions). It ultimately turns into people running around the city with a lot of shaky camera. On the other hand, the FX are good and there are a couple of surprises here and there. It's really not all that scary in my opinion, but others may think differently. it's an overall well made film, just not the best. If you want to see a decent monster movie or a decent found footage film, than this is the film.
