Cloverfield Lives Up To The Hype!

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2008)

First off let me say, if people say they hated this movie, the only reason they could have possibly not liked it is if they went into the theater expecting to see a action packed movie with a simple plot. Getting that off my chest, CLOVERFIELD WAS AWESOME! It started out a little slow, only because it was introducing you to the main characters, and letting you get a feel for them. After that first explosion, the movie takes off! The visual effects are stunning, and despite the "home video" perspective, the shots were amazing and perfect! It truly felt as if this really happen. There was just enough action to keep your eyes wide open, and enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat. On top of all that, the story was amazing! Besides the obvious documentation of the monster attack, there is a love story surrounded by tragedy, which really brings out a lot of emotion in this film. ***SPOILER*** If you are a fan of watching the heroes/main characters prevail, this might not be your type of movie. Cloverfield truly captures every emotion of the viewer. Horror, love, suspense, action, thriller, and even the comedic moments..it has it all. Go into this movie with an open mind. If your looking for a cheap action movie. Keep your money. If your looking for a movie with an incredible story (unlike any other monster movie) and amazing/believable acting..CLOVERFIELD will live up to your expectations without a doubt.
I SUGGEST EVERYONE SEE'S IT!!
