Cloverfield (2008)

[MGS4-SS]

Just saw this movie today, I loved it. I hadn't really followed the hype. I figured it looked pretty good, But it definatly exceeded my expectations.

Is there another scene after the credits or did I zone out??

There is a small recording in the end of the credits where you can hear Rob (maybe its him) saying: Help us! Played backwards it says "Its still alive!"

I missed it because I had to leave the theater right after the credits started rolling.

there's some parts that I don't understand

When the helicopter is higher than the monster, how did the monster managed to take it down? and also at the end, how did no one hear a giant monster walking up towards them? Think how heavy T-Rex is in Jurassic Park. Now think how big the monster is. The ground should be shaking!

I saw the movie yesterday. I WOULD have enjoyed it but the shakey camera threw me off and made me sick and dizzy xD. So I spent half the time eyes closed just listening to it and opening my eyes when something sounded interesting. I must say though that the storyline is pretty interesting and there's a wide variety of characters. I think I got sick because it was on the big screen, maybe if i watched it on DVD when it comes out, I can enjoy it better. ie take breaks in between etc. sucks though to have dizzyness and headaches when you're trying to enjoy the film.

WTF why were they booing?

They didnt like the movie, some of them were demanding their money back.

[jerzdawg]

the movie itself was entertaining.... I however felt very dizzy after the movie for the next few hours.... ummm... if I had to rate it i would say 3/5....

i just saw this and all i can say they couldve done a lot better, but it didnt live up to the hype. How come the monster is different sizes throughout the movie? Like in the beginning he was about as high as a skyscraper, but at the end , the monster who ate the camerman was about a house tall?

I think people reaaaaaaally overhype things for themselves these days, I mean it's just a movie... Of course with the internet advertising is alot bigger and people seemed to get sucked into that.

I don't know, I'd have see it again to be sure, but I think he was the same size. :wacko:

It could probably stand on its back legs

It could probably stand on its back legs

well even if it did, it wouldn't reach that height.

[MGS4-SS]

well even if it did, it wouldn't reach that height.

Maybe the helicopter pilot lowered the altitude when they saw the B2 bombs hit the monster, thinking that there was no more danger.

Either way, they were just flying over the roofs of the buildings, and we knew from the start that the monster was one big mofo.

Yeah but I mean he could cleanly take a building down so don't put it past him and as the previous comment said they did think the bombs killed the thing so he might of lowered it thinking we got it and boom down they go.

[GEIST]

Cloverfield sucks. Talk about overhyped. I've been more amazed watching the trailers over the last couple months than by that entire 70 minute Godzilla meets Blairwitch Project cluster**** of boredom.

well I'm pretty sure it was seconds after we hear the monster hit the ground. It was all smoke.. so why would you lower your helicopter in, especially in a red zone, and in addition, you could hear the monster.

Overall, I thought it was a good and original film. Very good infact. And the reason you can compare this film to that of Pulp Fiction and The Matrix is because it's original. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a classic, because it's not. It was just extremely original and that's, for me at least, what made it so intresting.

Yes, it has it's faults - proportions here and there - and people may not like the camera work, but that's what makes Cloverfield, Cloverfield.

Will we find out where it came from? What it is? Maybe. The reason we didn't find out any of these during this film was because we were seeing things from their point of view, the view of people on the ground. They wouldn't have known much but the military would have.

8/10

Remember back to how quickly it shot out of the smoke. My guess is it jumped, or lunged.

[ultimate99]

That was the weirdest movie I've seen....

You're last point there, is what makes the movie so great :)

^some plastic/rubber thingy..

Where the hell was the ending??!!!! God damn writers strike!!!

I disagree with you. A movie doesn't need a happy ending to be good and actually, the ending made it better for me.

Before going to the film I was actually quite sad because I don't like the idea of shaky cameras. However, once the movie started I actually started liking the concept because I felt as if I was in the movie instead of only watching. Especially the scene with the army shooting the monster behind them and then he, forgot his name, turns around was an eye-catch in my opinion.

You're right when you say this movie isn't the best ever but the "new" concept surprised me and made this movie a whole lot better. I would say that the camera view, the ending and the idea made the movie for me.

Cloverfield: 7,5/10

[Admodieus]

I really loved this movie. I couldn't see it working without the shaky cam. I also really liked the characters (something a lot of people seemed to hate).

Thats one thing my girlfriend said "it woulda been better if it was recorded like a normal movie" but i was like no way the whole shaky camera thing was one of the things that make this film so great u cudnt of gotten the same atmosphere recorded with a normal camera.

I was actually pretty suprised on how the monster actually looked i shuda had in my head on a Godzilla wannabe but this monster is def something i aint ever seen before the way it looks and how it moves....very freaky
