Best "Monster Eats City" Movie Ever

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2008)

This movie had me at the edge of my seat and engrossed in the action from the moment the monster started taking apart Manhattan.
Many people who didn't like the movie seem to comment on how it didn't live up to the marketing, which seems odd to me. The trailers seemed kind of lame to me-- I had originally not planned to see this movie because the "promotion" didn't speak to me.
What I got was a cinematic thrill ride as the audience got dragged, knocked down, attacked, battered, and exhausted along with the protagonists as they tried to survive a mysterious and terrifying ordeal.
The handy cam style was mixed in beautifully with some of the most amazing special effects (and even more so sound effects) that made me feel like I was there, running for my life, trying to figure out what the heck was going on.
Cloverfield was one of the fun-nest movies I've every seen.
