kewl flick, but a bit nauseating
i loved this movie and saw it in the theater as soon as it came out. i think the lost camera thing helped make it very realistic and entertaining. the only part i didn't like was when they were at the party in the beginning and swinging the camera all around madly. it has some crashes, gore, sprinting down manhatten streets covered in glass and rubble in just bare feet. yes, they all die except lily,and people say that's depressing. so what? people die.

all in all, a good movie, though maybe not one you'd want to see with little kids or your grandparents.

Biggest waste of time ever!
I've never been so angry about such an overrated and overhyped movie as Cloverfield. First 20 minutes NOTHING happens. I was so bored I could scream. The rest of this poor excuse for a movie was dull, dull, dull. Totally forgettable noname actors, no excitement, almost no dialog, no explanation for anything. The ending was the icing on this awful cake. Nothing happens in the ending either. Even the title is dull, as it makes no sense.

All those involved in making this film should be blacklisted by the studios from ever getting funding for future films.

Not your average monster pic
I really enjoyed this movie. A very suspenseful story with solid acting. The hand held camera aspect kept me on the edge of my seat. It may not be for everyone, but if you're open to a different take on the classic "Godzilla" genre, you may enjoy this pic.

deathday by eugene bruce would be better!
Deathday by Eugene Bruce would be better! Maybe, maybe not who knows - but being an impoverished author i won't apologise for shamelessly promoting my debut novel Deathday by Eugene Bruce - I'd very much appreciate you checking it out that's DEATHDAY by EUGENE BRUCE - I love you America!

Save your money
Have this DVD in Blu-ray format sorry but the flim was a dud would rate it 2 stars at best rent it from Blockbusters/Netflix would not recommend buying it (as I did)
