Cloverfield (spoilers)

Was freaking sweet, script was dodge at time and some of the acting was so-so, but it was such an ambitous movie. I thought the ending kinda sucked, but I really hope they have a sequel/prequel, from another persons point of view.

I\'m sure they weren\'t the only ones with a handycam taping the event.

So let me get this straight, the acting was mediocre, the plot had issues, the ending sucked, but it was still awesome?  lowered standards much?

I know racer sounds retarded, but he described pretty well.  The movie was greater than the sum of it\'s parts.  I loved it.

thanks theomen

But yeah, the greater scope of the movie greatly outweighed its tiny flaws. Decisions were made, both by characters and by the film makers that will probably piss some people off, but it doesn\'t change what it was trying to achieve.

The fact that they all die at the end is ........gggggggggggg-reat!

I should know better than to read a thread about a movie I haven\'t seen yet. But still... thanks for the spoiler.

Loved It!!!!!!!!!!

You\'ve been here how long?  I never read movie threads unless I\'ve seen them first.  Learned my lesson several times before though

I really liked it a lot.  Another what if movie like I Am Legend, though I think they pulled off the antagonist 3x better.

Just like everyone else I /hated/ the end.  Nothing was answered.  No final resolution.  No explanation of "Cloverfield."  Just death; the easiest way out of explaining the plot.  A very shallow ending, and even though it felt real it wasn\'t fulfilling.

Here\'s hoping the sequel will be long enough to explain everything in the first one and have enough action to satisfy my American lust for [COLOR="Red"]BLOOD[/COLOR].

I doubt there will be a sequel.

JJ is crazy like that.

They should have called it "Floorfield"   you spend half the time looking at floors and walls.  



Spoilers coming up

There were indeed a lot of unanswered questions. WTF happened with the goth chick. Did she hatch one of the little minions or did she just pop?

Also, why didn\'t the dood holding the camera bother to tell them about the little creatures. He says if i remember right "There are nasty things that way"    and thats about it. wtf!?

About Jason\'s (the brother that died on the bridge) girlfriend, did she die in the helicopter. You see one crash, but have no idea if it was hers.  

I guess the movie was meant to have all these unanswered questions, otherwise it wouldn\'t be like a real normal everyday joe blow capturing it.

but still annoying.

I hated certain parts, like the chopper at the end not bothering to fly higher then it did, or the fact it flew in parallel to the monster, but i\'m rambling.

Apparently at the very end of the film where it cuts back to their trip to Conney Island, in the background behind the ferris wheel you can see something fall from the sky and land in the sea behind them. I for one completely missed this, I guess it\'s implying the thing was alien and had been here only a month or so.

hmm didn\'t notice that.  sounds cool but still doesn\'t tie things up, more like a little detail.

And the more I think about the end the angier I get.  $10.50 for that!?  :hissyfit:

I really liked it, and really liked that it didn\'t even try to answer a lot of that.  I missed the thing dropping from the sky at the end as well. Also, if you stay for the end of the credits, you hear some walkie talkie static, which is apparently saying "It\'s still alive."

[Jumpman]

Yeah the credits ending was really lame.

I didnt see the thing fly into the water, and I never stay for the credits.

Oh well.

I for one liked the way it was filmed. It was like if YOU actually had a video camera during all of this, would you be so dedicated to stand there and get a "good shot"?


Hell nahs.... Youd be running around like an asshole... Like Hud did.


Again... Loved it.
