Hud is awful, his vacant comments really made me cringe, I'd like to think that people like that don't exist or at the very least don't walk around the streets without their minders.

the film suffers from monotonous dialogue from people who would be lucky to hold a job down at micky d's. The visual effects are quite good but the main characters are what really let this film down. godzilla (the remake) had the same problem among other things.

If a sequel is born from this they should hire someone who can write a believable story around interesting!!! characters who you wouldn't want to forget. I'd also agree that the creature needs more airtime.

I became extremely motion sick
due to the intentional shaky camera work. One of the guys who came with us had to move to the back or center of the theater to keep from getting sick as well.

I had to follow.

If you see this movie and you're easily effected by motion sickness....then sitting farther away from the screen might help.

OK... Now my opinion about the

story, etc... I liked the strong

love that Bob felt for Beth and the

true commitment from his friends

to help him find her in the cites rubble. Subtle clever ending as well

Monster?????? I was Very disappointed. Not because of the way it looked but because of the lack of screen time it had. And they still didn't show it very clearly

in the little time it did have.

From what little I saw of it.....

it didn't look very interesting anyways. I saw alot of other conceptual art of the Monster on the internet that looked better than the guy in the movie.

Yes...I went to Toys R Us to search for a Cloverfield Monster Toy. I thought perhaps I can see the monster better and maybe have

a more positive comment about the thing.

Music?!!!!!!! The Music during the end credits was extremely......

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounded like they were trying

for an Akira Ifukube sound. Ifukube

did the music to most of the Godzilla movies.

Overall about the movie....?

Although the movie itself was

pretty good, I was more entertained

and impressed by their marketing strategy. It made me feel very ...giddy.

Kinda like before Christmas morning. But...I also beleave

that if you hype a movie up like they did..... then you better have an equal pay off. I don't think the film matched the hype it created.

I saw "Mad Money"(comedy) yesterday

It actually had me more on the edge of my seat than Cloverfield.

Cloverfield is worth seeing at least once.

Thanks for taking the time to

read my thoughts on this flick.

Just plain old fun. Great movie ride. Never a dull moment. Main actresses were hot. Good pace. What more do you want in a monster movie?

I was going to catch it this morning, but I fell asleep on the couch and missed all the matinÃ©e showings. Will try again tomorry. I cringe at it being so short (75 minutes minus credits), but at least if I don't like it I won't have to suffer long.

Just because a camera shakes doesn't mean it looks like it was made by an amateur, just like how using a dolly or a crane wouldn't make it look like it was shot by a pro.

And the whole shaky camera affect is just stupid. I'm not going to pay to go watch a movie that looks like it was made by an amateur.

i saw the trailer and knew i would hate it.

i wouldnt go watch it if someone paid me $20 to. the whole "unsteady cam" thing does not make a realistic film. paying to see such a film does not make a lot of sense.

They clearly had a sequel in mind when they made this movie. At the end of the movie, I went "That's it?".

It's a love story with the monster as a sideshow. Yes you get to see the monster, but it doesn't even touch on what the monster is, where did it come from, why is it attacking Manhattan, etc. I didn't go to see the movie just to see a monster being hit by missiles, but that's what the movie really is. Who gives a shit about the love story, I want the monster to be the star of the movie, not a bunch of yuppies with relationship problems.

A real disappointment. Not worth my 10 bucks.

The best thing you can do is try to ignore the hype. it is a cool movie, but don't expect to have your mind blown.

Is the whole thing really from a shaky camera? That will literally make me ill.
