Cloverfield is an interesting movie, for several reasons, the biggest of course being the Cinematography. It's a little heavy and slow for the first 20-25 minutes, but then the mystery starts to spread among the main characters. What it is? Is it bird? Is it plain? NO! It is a cheap and spider look-a-like monster, Godzilla's cousin who was beaten with a hanger as child. A big nasty and apparently very angry on humans? Althoughs unanswered questions contributes well to story, and for audience as well, making us feel totally clueless of the situation. Again Manhattan is the playground of another paranoia monster, only this time is could use some Botox and be run through a Commodore 64 to get a better and more realistic look. It is a real mood killer when you see a destroyed in flames (nice!) New York from the top of a skyscraper, and then the monster is as scary as Super Mario. See it for a different experience.
