Blair Witch meets Godzilla

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 2008)

This movie draws a "10" rating from 47%? IMDb, you just lost all credibility with me. Having seen this movie, my question isn't why was this movie named Cloverfield. My question is, why wasn't this movie named "Blair Witch Project and Godzilla Do Manhattan." I can only assume that a healthy portion of this film's budget was spent stuffing the IMDb ballot box. When this movie ended - quickly, mercifully - I had a headache and the movie audience audibly grumbled, sneered, and laughed. I don't consider it a spoiler to reveal that the film is entirely done on a hand held video recorder carried by one of the characters throughout. That includes numerous instances of running, ducking flying debris, and scuffling with critters. Rather than spoiler, this revelation should be considered a warning.
