Did I see a different movie?

Rating: 1/10 (28 February 2008)

I was looking forward to seeing "Cloverfield", thats because I heard all the hype about how great it was. The only thing that I found true from this hype, was that the "amateur" filming made me feel sick. The first forty-five minutes was err... boring. I kept waiting for something good to happen, maybe its trying to give us the actors characters? but no it was just trivial talking! Then (at last), the action starts, or does it? Not really, for the rest of the movie we see the pointless search for their friends. Yes, we do see the alien/ monster, but only a few times and they were brief, then they all died! There was no plot to speak of, no reason for the beast, and no reason why it was in New York? Maybe its one of those movies you either love or hate, well I hated it! It wasn't a patch on "I am Legend", which I enjoyed immensely.
