The name 'Cloverfield' to me just immediately makes me think it's a special government experiment gone wrong ....

you know ... 'Cloverfield' just sounds like a codename for something.

So I think this is a monster that comes from an experiment ... designed by the military to be a weapon of mass destruction, and it goes wrong, mutates crazy big and destroys everything.

That's my take on it.

That would be a good take on it, I think its something like especially as originally it was called Project Cloverfield so it signifies it was a project that the military were probably monitoring.

Looks cool but wtf is this movie about already? Chances are it's going to be just all hype.

No doubt the biggest hype letdown for me was War of the Worlds. From the teaser trailer, it look as if it was going to be the biggest movie yet. Especially from Spielberg.

I have a feeling this is going to be the same hype.

The clues indicate that a corporation will release the creature from the center of the earth as a result of deep sea drilling. That is what seems most likely to me.

What were you expecting exactly?

Sadly it wasn't a disappointment because I feel that Spielberg hasn't done anything all that big in the last 20 years (his only two movies I've liked were Schlinder's List and Saving Private Ryan). Spielberg is highly overrated IMO.

I made the mistake of reading the novel first. The movie sucks compared to the novel. Spielberg dumbed it down for the kiddies which IMO made it suck. I hate it!

Why compare it? Jurassic Park is a hour and a half movie. It's not dumbed down. It's just compressed. It's a brilliant movie and a stand out film that will last for generations.

It was completely changed from the novel, from the opening scene to how it ends, there's very little that's the same.

So? Does that matter? It's a film ... not a book :) It still rocked. Just coz it wasn't the same as the book ... that's a bad reason to say the film sucked! :)

I agree.. They always dumb them down or take out important stuff that would make the movie make more sense if they left it in. There are very few movie based on books that turn out that well. Jurassic Park I was disappointed in. They turned a good book and cut it up into 3 movies when they should have left it as one and made it a little longer.

You should never compare a book to a film. They are usually very different because you can usually do a lot more in a book than in a movie. However, different doesn't mean worse. I am sure there are just as many people that prefer the movie version over the book(not referring to JP, but to all book/movie versions). It all comes down to personal taste.
