Cloverfield - an interesting name?

Rating: 5/10 (19 January 2008)

After waiting for several weeks for Cloverfield, I must say that I was disappointed. There were several moments of suspense, yes, where I was at the edge of my seat, but overall, I found that there was too many loose ends. Where did the monster come from? Was it from outer space or a lab experiment gone wrong in a place called Cloverfield? Where did the offspring originate from? Did the ending of the movie allude to a 2nd part(I hope not)?. This movie reminded me of a home movie that someone tried to make. I became dizzy and disoriented with all the camera shaking going on. I also agree with one of the other writers on this board it did look like the footage from 9/11. This movie studio could have tightened up the story lines a lot better. With these improvements it could have possible reached the same level of success or close to it as independence day.
