This movie made me sick... really

Rating: 2/10 (16 February 2008)

Cloverfield was hyped to be America's answer to Godzilla. Didn't live up to its promise.
I came in with a very open mind but left with a huge migraine.
The actors were wonderful but the characters were pretty flat... stereotypical and sometimes their motivations were stupid... I mean what kind of person would sacrifice the lives of his friends just to go after a girl??? It was hard for me to buy into a lot of the premises of the film.
The jerky camera movement, ala Blair Witch Project, was a bit on the heavy side and i had migraines halfway through the film and rushed to throw up after it ended.
So I'd recommend this movie only if you want to torture yourself and want to have an excuse to not go to work/school after.
