Definitely Lives Up to the Hype.

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2008)

After months of media hype, the J.J. Abrams-produced "Cloverfield" finally hit theaters, and the movie definitely delivers. "Cloverfield" is, without a doubt, the best monster flick yet made! I won't go into details about the plot, but it is very intense, exciting, and quite scary at times, with good performances from a terrific cast. The use of a P.O.V. style of film-making makes this film all the more believable. I won't go into detail about the main monster, except to say that it is fantastic! The only spoiler I have is this: along with the main monster, there are also hundreds of little creatures, and they are terrifying to behold as well! This film definitely puts "Godzilla" to shame. This is a terrific film that fans of sci-fi, horror, and monster films will want to see! One of the best ever made! Grade: A+
