Are you serious?

Rating: 5/10 (22 January 2008)

After watching this movie on opening night I thought of how it would get destroyed on IMDb due to how bad this movie is but to my surprise I found that it was actually given a pretty high rating. This movie lacks 2/3 essential parts of a monster type movie. Any monster movie has three parts: 1) A beginning(the origin of the monster and why it wants to destroy stuff) 2) A middle(the struggle with the monster) 3) An end(the monster is killed, isolated or the monster wins). Cloverfield had a great middle but completely lacked the other parts. Some movies can get away with missing parts (ex: Dawn of the Dead has no beginning or end) but this didn't work at all for Cloverfield. I think it is an over all disaster of a movie.
