Architecture hating monster takes it out on Douchey yuppies

Rating: 4/10 (24 October 2011)

Cloverfield starts off like the worst episode of Laguna Beach where Spencer Pratt and his annoying looking friends have a send off party for their equally douche-bagish friend. This WAAAYY too long introduction features a bunch of vapid 20 somethings that only the warmest of hearts could give a flying fudge about.
A monster that seems to really dislike the Statue of Liberty shows up to crash the party and the kids are all like NOOO. So they head off to midtown to look for main douche-bags girlfriend who may or may not already be dead. Sure the rest of us probably would have been like hey bro good luck and headed to jersey but the only person in this movie familiar with NYC geography seems to be the monster itself.
The movie is shot in super jerky handy-cam style to create an eye witness feel. Or as I like to say, the movie is shot in a shaky handy-cam style to cover the less than stellar or believable special effects.
The monster is pretty stupid looking for the most part and he pops up all over Manhattan, he also seems to have a great hatred for architecture (both classic and modern). The monster can also take a full on hit from a massive bomb and just be all like yo son, not a scratch!
Don't expect anything in the form of plot in this movie and don't expect much in the way of entertainment either.
