Cloverfield – Hmmmmm (and not in a good way!)

Maybe I was expecting too much from this film, but boy was I disappointed :o(

The first 15 minutes is painfully slow, and the rest of the time isn’t much better. However, things do start to pick up, but the handheld camera work is vomit inducing.

To be fair, its an interesting way to shoot a film, but to be honest we’ve seen it before in “The Blair Witch Project” and this time isn’t much better. The monster was actually quite well done, but seems to shrink dramatically in size from being as big as a building, to being only about 3 times the height of a man at the end.

To describe this film as “Terrifying” is pure fantasy, and the secrecy surrounding the film has resulted in it being over-hyped by the lack of hype if that makes any sense.

The best way I can think of to describe it is a cross between Godzilla and Blair Witch Project.

If you want to see this, save yourself money and get it from Blockbuster when its released on DVD.

I know that J.J. Abrams of “Lost” fame was involved, but does “Bloody Great Monster appears from nowhere with no explanations” sound familiar?
