Horrible Movie

Rating: 1/10 (19 January 2008)

I understand what JJ was going for but making half the audience sick and putting their heads in their laps isn't the best way to do it. I was shocked when the brand new movie theater that was built, was near empty and half way through the film people either left or started talking amongst themselves. The movie had no real plot and left you full of remorse for buying an 8 dollar ticket. The movie is just crap,horrible acting, come on your boyfriend dies and your brother dies and you barely shed a tear!! no real insight on the characters themselves, i can only name rob and beth as characters and i tried to pay attention. People who didn't read up on Cloverfield for hours on the internet wont know anyones name and will be confused. With an over-hyped monster whom we only see from a shaky out of focus camera for a total of 2 minutes this movie was doomed to fail. Bad acting, poor characters, bad monster = bad movie. It will have it's cult following but will bomb in DVD sales and at the box office. On the way out i heard more people saying they felt sick than it was a great movie. Did not live up to the hype. YOU FAIL JJ.
