Gojira & Blair Witch Project mated. Their retarded son is named:Cloverfield!

Rating: 3/10 (6 February 2008)

First and foremost, even though there is a sign posted up in every cinema: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE IF YOU SUFFER FROM MOTION SICKNESS!!! The guy next to me threw up and missed my shoes by an inch.
Well, in film school they teach us to always start a review with the positive aspects of a movie, so here goes:
The film sets are amazing, the camera work is quite authentic and the movie is based on a nice idea...uh,...uh,...that's it I guess.
This movie suffers from to many flaws to be considered good. I simply cannot explain to myself how this piece of work can receive a 7.9. I guess a smart marketing campaign does suffice as a substitute for a good plot. Actually I just named it: This movie has no plot! But even that could be forgiven as there are tons of movies without a plot that still have something to them. The most annoying part about this piece of work is the fact that the characters are simply aggravating! As they pass away during the course of the movie, all one can think of is: Meh. I couldn't care less. No sympathy. The motivation for their stupendously foolish way of action is just too unrealistic. And yes, I know that this is not supposed to be a drama so character development is not a priority. But this?!? There's porn with smarter characters out there! I left the movie feeling as if this movie was simply made to take the mickey out of the audience. I really wanted the wasted one and a half hours of my life back. To make matters worse there is no sense to the whole thing whatsoever. It feels like one of those typical "come watch the sequel for answers"-movies.
As I could go on like this forever, let me just finish my rant by saying this: If you liked "Cloverfield", good for you. I also have some crappy movies I love. But that's the point: I know that they are crappy movies! So please enjoy this film if you will, but stop acting like it was really good!
