Just watched the movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2008)

Hey all, just watched the movie. ( I work at a theatre and put the print together and we previewed it after i was done). I am serious and really did just watch the flick. I thought it was great and this post will have a few spoilers.
Well the big question in my mind leading up th this movie was: what does the monster look like. Well we never really get a great look at it. Which i thought was a good idea. it go myself and the other people i was watching it with into the movie because in this situation you wouldn't get a good look. Although in one scene we get a close look at one of the creatures. yes i said one of them. there are at least 2 different sizes of monster, maybe three i will have to see it again to be sure. We have the GIANT one running around the buildings, then we have th little critters(actually about the size of a big dog) and possibly one around the size of a house, maybe a little bigger. we see it on the news and Hud, the character carrying the camera gets a few good shots. I will admit i caught myself yelling at him to turn left or right so we could see the damn thing a few times.
over all it was a believable story. in a lot of monster movies you follow the military or scientists and get explanation as to what it is attacking the city. not here. i will say one of my favorite lines of all time comes from this movie. One of the girls ask " what was that?" as the monster goes by, and Hud replies " it was a terrible thing" i laughed my but off. we follow the average joes in this movie and see it from the civilian p.o.v. which i enjoyed a lot.
I liked this movie a lot and cant wait to see it again. And when the DVD comes out i am so buying it t o watch the behind the scenes stuff so i can get a clear look at those pesky critters running around NYC.
