Good film, have to see to appreciate

Rating: 7/10 (1 February 2008)

Cloverfield, I felt took a while to get started with lots of random footage to introduce the characters. Granted, that was boring. However the rest of the film I thought was very well filmed and kept the viewer engaged, seeing as the main characters seemed...disposable.
Amazing graphics and visuals, a good concept and delivery. The script does seem to let the film down a bit, but is supposed to be realistic and therefore flawed. Anyone that would state the film is rubbish clearly hasn't appreciated what has gone into the production and wanted more definition. Which is not JJ Abrams style, look at lost. So anyone expecting Godzilla or a classical 'monster terrorising' film, you maybe disappointed.
