Review of Cloverfield (2008) by R.smith — 18 Jan 2008

I thought the movie was very well done. It had stunning visuals and compelling character portrayal. The vantage point of the characters was fun to be in, and made you feel as if you were really with them.

I thought the army scenes were amazing, and the acting was surprisingly realistic and natural. I however did not like the bouncing motion of the camera...it made me queasy and gave me a headache. This would be an easy 9 or 10 if the ending hadn't of left you wondering why you went to see the show in the first place.

I think Hollywood tries to be too artistic sometimes...just give us what we want...a real ending.
