J.J. Abrams forgot to finish Cloverfield

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2008)

I have been really pumped about going to see Cloverfield for a week or so now. I was afraid that the movie wouldn't reach my expectations and they didn't. The first 20 minutes of the movie are really slow. It adds little meaning to the story and in my opinion was just drawn out to make the movie closer to 90 minutes. During almost the whole movie I was on the edge of my seat wondering where the monster came from and what were the small creatures were that were attacking everyone. The movie had so much potential, and i couldn't wait for the end but I guess with all of the promotion, they forgot to have an ending to the movie. The movie just abruptly ends. You never find out where the monster came from, if they, killed it, what was happening to the people that got bitten by the creatures or anything. The movie was everything I hoped it was going to be until the "ending". This is what totally kills the movie. An ending can make or break a film and it definitely broke this one.
