there is only one kind of movie that can be shot from randomly chosen angles in bad lighting, using a videocam and improvised dialogue, and still do well...this isn't it.

What a disappointment.I expected a lot more.JJ - how about next time you show more monster and less running around with shots of buildings and things NOBODY would be paying attention to if there was a 10 story monster in front of them.

"I don't know. It's a terrible thing." And "It's something else. Another terrible thing." It'd the best damn thriller since "The Thing"! Kudo's to Neville for the extraordinary "creature"!

Definitely an award winner: WORST WASTE OF TIME, MONEY and FILM EVER!I wouldn't even give this as a prank gift to my worst enemy. I am so I rented it and didn't go spend BIG BUCKS to take the family to the theatre. If there is one redeeming thing about this movie, I HAVEN'T FOUND IT!Three Thumbs DOWN!

this is so bad i'm suing cinemanow for my 2.00 rental fee because its so dark you can only actually see about 6 or 7 minutes of it.terrible script, horrible diection, god awful filming, and dumb ending,a total waste of time and money. the producer of this nightmare should never be allowed to work in the movie industry again.

stupid movie, a typical monster movie, godzilla movie. what's different? ye, the sickening way of capturing the scenes is different SSSURE, you feel like you wanna vomit near the middle, from the sea-sickness you develop ....rediculous.

Loved this movie.When asked what it is about I always would sum it up with "Person in the city has a camera, giant monster attacks and breaks things, person with camera tries to escape city".That about sums it up, but there is so much more. It's funny, I liked the acting, and for a change they actually Show the monster, Show the military, Show the conflict.Most movies just give a dark screen, scary noise, and show the monster at the end.Not this one, they hide nothing and give the viewer one hell of a ride.They put a lot into this one.See it.

Very interesting movie, from the commercials i thought it would be a cheesy first person close encounters of the third kind, but Cloverfield actually has various layers of depth, including comedy and romance in addition to all the thrill and horror.A definite must see recommendation from me.
