I'll wait until it's slapped on the Sci-Fi channel or rent DVD

Rating: 4/10 (21 January 2008)

Saw the trailer all 4 times (TF2007), was intrigued but also a tad dizzy & sick to the stomach. Just ended watching film clips on a certain website where all sorts video stuff can be uploaded to.
Was hedging going @ the theater impulse; hideous monster giving me nightmares &/or it'd be too gory. The trailer was delightfully intense; thought would lean towards gross. Had a dandy premise, too. I gave it the score I did was the approach to THE MONSTER in plot line.
Now won't be viewing this in it's entirety in a theater as I'll be afraid I'll faint immediately standing up. It's biggest most implacable gripe I've got w/ Cloverfield; camera is continuously moving: slow, fast spinning, swaying boat all that and more-somebody make this stop!! Can any "citizen" snap still shots from their digi-cams? Given the naturally ensuing chaos, does Cloverfield's core group fall while running, hold the camera steady?
Read reviewers mentioning BWP in describing it; 2 my mind "Beast of Bray Road" viewed that malarkey recently on the Sci-Fi Channel. I repeat what I said there, why can't focus be off these Ford Agency models for just 5 minutes? There ARE people in the Big Apple who never set foot in a health spa, above or underneath 20 something. ID4 had more variety in terms of human characters. The human character spoilers for this, girl/boy severed relationship, regrets it and gotta save the ex-beloved couple action crap seen in many a Sci-Fi"original" flick. Instead of refugees from from a magazine, why not from the viewpoint of little ones, parents, monster's arrival interrupts the a get together of kids? How about putting it in a city OTHER than Mahanttan--how 'bout actually in a cloverfield, or the creature looking like a walking cloverfield for pity sakes? I've begun liking Spielberg's "War of the Worlds".
Will close by speaking only in terms of the monster's (Not that of his spider/crab buddies--only reason I wanna rent "Clover" on video.) rampage; less scary than Zok, the laser ray dragon, of the 1967-69 Herculoids TV series. Half an hr., Zok would've laid Manhattan waste. Now square-off between those two WOULD be interesting, also predictable, come think of it, I see who'd win a Cloverfield mile:
Zok.
