Cloverfield is an insult to the human race

Rating: 2/10 (25 October 2009)

Every now and then, a motion picture comes along that is simply an insult to humanity, more often than not, horror movies such as Cloverfield. This movie starts out so slow, I'm looking at my watch and thinking, "Okay, I get it, a kid with a camcorder!" It was a horribly long, drawn out, and completely ineffective way of introducing the characters that really didn't need to take place. What's so offensive about this particular movie, however, is the way the characters react to whatever's happening on-screen. When a director has people acting is such stupid ways, I'm left asking myself, "Is this how he would act in a crisis? Does he honestly believe real people would act this stupid?" This is one of those movies where, more often than not, you're yelling at the screen, "You've got to be kidding me, who wrote and directed this garbage, that's not how real people react to crisis!"
