Review of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) by Bcdserra — 05 May 2016

I really don't understand those high scores.

I love film, I almost love them all and I always find the good in them or at least appreciate what critics and other users saw in them. In this one however, the only good I found were the performances.

I don't get the "John Goodman is bad, no he's good, oh wait no he's bad with a little monster action in the last 5 minutes".

Make this a 100% psycho kidnapper movie or use that gimmick for suspense in the first half hour of a real monster movie and you've got a working formula.

Instead we get this schizophrenic treatment of the story that didn't make sense, and most viewers seem to think there's that brilliant twist, like nobody remembers the big spoiler that is THE TITLE OF THE MOVIE.

This leaves even the most openminded viewer with only one option when watching this: waiting for the creature to appear onscreen.
