overrated

Rating: 1/10 (21 January 2008)

i went in expecting a scary monster movie.
what i got was 15 minutes of bad TV dialog, and 45 minutes of shaky-cam running through the streets. the acting was OK but the characters were really unpleasant. not only did i not care if they died, by the end of the movie i was rooting for the monster.
there were a lot of plot holes and the decisions everyone made were totally unrealistic. it was hard to stay in the movie because of the constant lapses of common sense and logical flaws. those kinds of things really annoy me when they could have been fixed with a line or two of dialog.
finally at the end of the movie there were a couple minutes of cool special effects. the rest of the movie was a waste of time.
