What a great movie

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2008)

There are some people out there who just don't seem to understand this movie. I have read reviews on here that have almost brought me to laughs.
I thought that the movie was previewed and then presented exactly they way it should have been. I feel bad for all those who did not have the intellectual fortitude to enjoy this movie for what it was. This is not Godzilla. Godzilla showed everything you ever wanted to see in the monster, and it did everything but stand in front of the camera and smile. Not to mention that at the end of the movie they kill him and you almost feel sorry for the poor monster that just destroyed a city. And the fact the there was never a single instant in that movie that he felt threatening.
Cloverfield on the other hand put in at ground zero of a unknown monster mercilessly destroying new york. Butthis is only a backdrop to a story of a man trying to reach the woman he loves. The special effects were amazing to the point that they almost never caught your eye. They seemed as real as everything else. The sound was just as spectacular. The monster was something we have never seen before. I also enjoyed the fact that all the action was going on around them, helicopters and fighter jets were flying over and the army was trying to evacuate people made it all feel very real. And the ending was amazing well done. But for those of you who did not like the ending I only ask, how the hell did you expect it to end?
So I am sorry for those of you who have to have your movies spoon fed, I am sorry your time was wasted and steered for so long away from your mindless entertainment. And for those of you who enjoyed the ride, I'll see you inside for another screening.
