I have to disagree with JSSTyger

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2008)

I am not the ultimate Cloverfield fanboy by any means, how ever this was a very good not brilliant movie. I must say I am quite shocked you did not expect a film from this JJ Abrhams to end this way.
First up how can the characters sum up the plot line the reasons for the attack etc... If they are quite possibly dead. Second How much character development do you expect from a character for something that takes place over a time period of roughly 7 hours in a city being attacked by a Giant monster not to mention it's little buddies. I really did not expect to see Rob go back and tell us about his childhood and how he got to this point. If you also though it was a very good action move why the 4 stars??? Seems like you just want to go against the grain because you didn't like the ending to what is obviously a set up to a sequel.
Now the review it self. This was as mentioned above a very good but not quite Brilliant action movie. The tempo of the film is what really sold it for me yes it was short and left huge amounts of the story untold but as I said who would ecpect anything else from JJ Abrahams. Plus the Sequel that is apparently in the works or may yet tell us the story from someone else's angle. If you are looking for what is simply an exciting fun film that isn't going to tax you too much go see this film.
