Wasn't that bad, or that good.

Rating: 5/10 (28 August 2008)

I don't get why this movie either gets, like, perfect ratings, or really terrible ratings. It wasn't that bad and it certainly wasn't the best movie of the year.
"Cloverfield" is about a group of young adults at the main character's, Rob, going away party. Then, suddenly, there's an "earthquake" and a quick blackout and the characters go out of the apartment to see what has happened. Once they reach the street there's a huge crash and an object falls in the middle of the street, which is revealed to be the head of the Statue of Liberty. And they try to escape and then the main character, Rob, realizes the girl he loves is still inside the city, so they go back to save her even though the monster is still attacking, and blah blah blah. You know the drill.
Too be honest, I found this movie only okay, because, well, it was very disappointing. I guess there just wasn't enough suspense or something, like it wasn't bad, but it was great, it was okay. An okay movie. The type of movie you'd watch once or twice. Like, it was a unique idea, first person camera work, and a huge monster attacking New York city, instead of Japan. But, it could have been done much better. Much better.
I liked the movie, but I didn't love it.
If there's one thing I gotta say, it's that the monster "Clover" is actually really cute, towards the end of the movie where the character Hud (the guy with the camera) comes face to face with creature I couldn't help but think, "Aww, he's the one attack the city? But, he's so cute!" Haha, but then of course he eats Hud's upper body so then it's not so cute.
And credits song "Roar" is really good, too.
But, yeah, all in all, it was an okay movie. Could have been done better.
Hopefully, if they do a remake (which they always do in Hollywood, just wait, like, 10 years,) it's better then the original. Because, yeah, it was disappointing and only okay.
An OKAY movie.
Not bad, not great.
Just...OKAY.
