CLOVERFIELD [2008] review

CLOVERFIELD shows none of that, but instead shows the view of 4 of those anonymous people on the street. And I for one, do not want to see that kind of monster movie. I like the tried and true monster movie formula. If one goes into this movie thinking one will see anything like a traditional monster movie, just forget it. What you will in fact see is a claustrophobic, shaking jogging movie. That’s all the characters do, run from one spot to another. … The one scary scene is so obvious I don’t know how anyone could possibly jump. Then after that, the characters are pretty much totally out of any kind of surprise danger. … Just huge objects smashing and being blown up that we only see pieces of.

…Perhaps seeing a better copy of the movie would have improved my liking of the movie a bit, but I doubt it would have done enough for me to not be annoyed by the constant loser remarks made by the character holding the camera. There are hot girls in this movie, but there is absolutely no reason they still should be in the movie. The men should have absolutely insisted they go with the military rescuers.

…And then the ending is just that, an abrupt end.
