cloverfield no spoilers

way better than i thought it was going to be, i wont say its a masterpiece or anything, but it was extremely intense and entertaining.

i give it a B+, but it really sucks you in, i think its a movie you need to see in theaters instead of on your TV.

anyone else see it? dont post any spoilers

Saw it today along with There Will Be Blood. I was thoroughly entertained the entire day

Saw it with my friend Falafel yesterday, and we both really enjoyed it. I agree, this is a movie that works better in a theater than it will on your television.

Is it basically an epic monster movie, or....? The adverts don't give tooo much away.

Kenso · January 20th, 2008, 03:37 AM

yea pellaz id say so, but its actually GOOD, like its very original, gripping, and intense, its not the same old dull shit, you actually feel like you are right there in it

I'm going to see it in a few hours. We were going to go last night, but I figured the crowds would be your typical asshole "Generation Gimmie" kids. And I HATE seeing movies with those people in the theater, so I just avoid it on Friday/Saturday nights.

i feel you there, matinee (sp) is the way to go

Dragongrrrl · January 20th, 2008, 02:02 PM

Yep, I do matinees on Mondays to avoid obnoxious kids. I must be old because I have zero tolerance for that crap. Plus movie prices have gotten out of hand. Planning on catching either this movie or The Orphanage tomorrow. Guess it depends on how early I can drag my lazy ass out of bed (The Orphanage is at 11am).

If you're going to see this and expecting a Godzilla-style film, you're going to be disappointed. It's very different from that. I think comparing it to a disaster film might be more valid, though it's darker than the usual one of those, too.

I think it's worth checking out, especially in the theater. And put me down as one of those "early show" people, as I cannot stand the yammering that goes on by audience members at a regular show. I haven't been to a movie at night in years and years because of this. Plus, going early is cheaper.

I'd save more money if I skipped the popcorn, but dammit, I LIKE popcorn!!!

I'd give it an A-. It was original, had you right by the balls for the majority of the movie, and I really do feel like they managed to give it a realistic feel (in terms of how things would transpire, how people would react, etc.). The shakiness got to be a bit much at times, but it added so much to the movie. To those who saw it, maybe we can make another thread that DOES contain spoilers? There are certain things that would be cool to discuss (i.e. the end).
