Cloverfield is amazing

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2008)

This movie was hyped up to a huge degree. Everyone I knew had at least heard about Cloverfield in some form or another and this movie lives up to any portion of hype it has created. To completely call this movie a monster movie would be wrong because it's more about the characters trying to survive the attack but the monster, obviously, is a big part of it. The acting was magnificent, the hand held camera (can be a little uneasy for some folks) but I think it worked quite well and gave you the sense that you were really there with those people, feeling the same emotions and are just trying to make it with them. The monster is... well, amazing and terrifying. I definitely recommend seeing it.
