didn't work for me

Rating: 5/10 (10 May 2008)

this is one movie i didn't get.sure,there's some monster attacking New York,and theirs a small group of people which the movie focuses on.it's done documentary style,as one of the characters has a video camera for pretty much the entire time.for me,that didn't really work for me.i also just did not find the movie exciting,or even engaging.plus,it didn't really make sense.it had a lot of hype before hitting theatres,and i'm sure glad i didn't see it in a theatre,because i don't think it lived up to the hype.everything happens so quickly,you never really get a chance to know anyone.the movie is less than 90 minutes,and if it had been longer,it might have made more sense,and there might have been more emotional investment into the characters.oh,well.i'm not gonna say this is a terrible movie,because it isn't.but it's also nothing exciting or interesting.for me,Cloverfield is a 5/10
