Dazzling without Disappointment

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2008)

This was an intense film. The plot was a little unrealistic but the suspense and the mysteriousness of the film made it one of the best films of the year. Although the filming could make one sick, it is the very aspect which made the film so brilliant. Good acting, laughs, and suspense were all brought together in a new wave movie, and I can easily say that Cloverfield was not, in any category, a disappointment. Cloverfield not only triumphs over the Blair Witch Project but gives hope to this new and exciting class of movie thrillers shot from a 'handheld camera'.
9 out of 10
