Cloverfield Movie Reviews: Spoilers Roll In

As we get closer to the release date of Cloverfield it was bound to happen that private screenings would result in online reviews. One person got to sit in on the Paramount screening and gave us their take on the movie.

I can't vouch for the authenticity of this post but at this juncture it sounds like the real deal. So, if you want to know more about the Cloverfield movie then click away. The post goes into detail about the Cloverfield Monster, the role of Tagruato/Slusho, the characters, and who lives through the night.


Spoilers Ahoy!

  2. Has anyone noticed that the description of the monster this guy gives is basicly and exact discription of the monster from "The Host"?
    I mean really, almost down to the smallest detail, such as its front "legs" or "arms" being larger then its back one's.
    Could this be yet another post by someone on the inside of production trying to give us the run around? I think so. I really doubt they would go through all the trouble of hiding what the monster looks like to let it slip out like this.
    But then who knows. Maybe they just copied The Host monster.

  3. I referenced your site plenty during the buildup, so thought I'd drop a line to say I saw MGP last night. My Cloverfield review is up at www.KidReviewer.com, and I have a couple crude drawings of the monster. I was too tired to draw well from the 4 hour round trip, but I plan to do some better drawings to replace what's up now.

  4. Saw it,didn't like it. Shakey camera ruined almost all of the movie. Had to look away in disgust. To shadowy and monster scenes pure digital crap. People actually got up and went and sat in the lobby.I myself actually cheered when main characters killed in the end.Survived bugs,helcopter crash, leaping from tall buildings??What happened when you got bit?.1-10, 3 at the most.

  5. Saw the movie. It stinks just as much as the "Blair Witch" did. The POV style filming added absolutely no realism at all. There is nothing real aobut a giant monster attacking a major city, so, this style of filming just doesn't work for this type of genre. It worked in "Blair Witch" because ghosts are potentially more realistic and that movie was meant to be a "Mockumentary" account of what happened to the characters while investigating the witch story.

    Everyone complains about the "shaky" camera in this film. Personally it had no affect on me. I thought the poor acting and lack of clear shots of the monster were worse than the camera's shakiness.

    Overall this movie sucked and only made big dollars opening weekend due to all the pre-release viral hype. Once word gets out on just how big of a piece of sh** this movie is; box office totals will go down and the movie will drop out of site.
