Warning: Do Not Sit Close.. Make sure you are sitting back far enough so the shaky camera doesn't make you
dizzy. This is not a movie review, but a rant about a piece of garbage called Cloverfield -- a "movie" that's making millions of dollars for retelling a trite story on a shaky camera. Like a multi-layered splash of diarrhea, I've seen before thats kinda related to this one have kernels of truth, nuggets of terror and a shit load of cheap gore. Cloverfield, on the other hand, is nothing but a stream of offensivley vile bile. The first half of the movie feels like a direct-to-DVD home video version of a bad Dawson's Creek episode. The second half is a re-imagining of 9/11 with a morbidly obese lizard playing terrorist. The latter portion is more enjoyable, only because some of the incredibly annoying characters die. Nevertheless, I recommend that you watch the movie. A lot of people like it, and I am not one to judge. So go out and see it. Just remember to buy a large bucket of popcorn in case you have to vomit. What makes me more sick is that these Cloverfield filmmakers are able to afford fine dining while other struggling filmmakers with original concepts have to live on Dave Thomas' dollar-meal burgers. Movies often bring out our darkest fears, but the problem with Cloverfield is that 9/11 already happened and we've seen plenty of home-video footage documenting the actual attack. If we need to be reminded of terror and destruction, at least put a more original spin on it as opposed to throwing in a Good Year Gecko. I don't mean to offend you if you had anything to do with the making of Cloverfield. But then, my $5.50 is worth the CGI of the monster..
