Boring!

Rating: 5/10 (22 January 2008)

Normally when a film has 4000+ good reviews it will be a good picture. If I don't find the film good, I usually watch it again to see what I missed, or I feel that I wasn't in the right mood for it when I watched it. As for "Cloverfield"...I'm drawing a complete blank! I heard that the amateur camera work gave it an authentic feel and helped define the characters. It didn't do that at all! The behavior of the characters throughout the so-called terror was not realistic at all. This includes the military personal as well as the main characters. Just totally unbelievable. This film was not only boring, but very predictable throughout. Cmon...time to run the other way when we see rats running? Give me a break! I've given this film a new title..."Creed"! Not because it's fits the monster well but because like the band, there's plenty of hype but no substance.
