people with weak stomachs should go watch Bambi.

People who suffer from weak stomachs should stop complaining about Cloverfield. It is all rather pathetic. Do people with weak bladders complain about "the perfect storm" making them want to pee? No of course not.
For the rest of us who can manage roller-coaster rides or simulator machines, Cloverfield was a totally innovative experience. If it had been filmed in the traditional manner like Godzilla it would have been nothing special at all. In many ways it was similar to Spielberg's "War of the Worlds". We stuck with one group of characters, something "alien" was attacking us and winning and we knew nothing about what it was or why it was happening.
In an age where YouTube rules I am astounded at the lack of imagination of the people who complain about Cloverfields' camera style. It is a very modern movie and I think we can expect to see more and more films taking on board this very personal style of movie making.
So you'd better learn to live with it!
