Good and Bad Points

Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2009)

This film may have been one of the most over hyped and especially over rated films of all time. The way it's shot was a clever idea and creates a sense of realism one could say. It certainly feels real watching it in a crowded theater. There are some scary moments and good terror scenes with our ominous monster and enjoyable characters even. However, I'm a monster movie fan, Godzilla being my #1, and this film was a little too short in my opinion. We never really get a back story of the monster or what becomes of it. Was it finally defeated or did it rampage through Miami next? Plus we never get to see the monster for longer than a few seconds without the camera shaking out of control. Very annoying. And did the couple survive or die like everybody else? Too many questions left unanswered for my taste but some will find it enjoyable.
