Pros: Cool monster, tons of suspense.
Cons: The female lead kind of sucks.
Summary: After what seems like an eternity filled with rumored name changes (I’ve lost count of how many names this film has “reportedly” had during its production), insane viral marketing, countless television ads, and a hype level just a notch below Snakes on a ... read more

Pros: Great acting & screenplay. Unique perspective. Hi-quality HD A/V. Great subplot. Actually scary.
Cons: Unique perspective may not work for some.
Summary: What's MY Inspiration? This Review Reveals few, if Any, Plot Details not Apparent from the Trailer "Say--I've got a GREAT idea! Let's make a potentially GREAT Godzilla-type movie, but based in America, spend GOBS on ... read more

Pros: Good story to begin with, and great special effects.
Cons: Cinematography and the ending really kill this movie.
Summary: First of all, how many times can New York City be destroyed in movies? I believe Hollywood has it in for NYC. My experience with this movie was one of being let down from what had the potential to be a really good science fiction movie. I did not ... read more

Pros: Suspenseful, scary and fun
Cons: Why did it seem like this monster was only after these main characters?
Summary: the story This is the story about a video camera. The movie begins with a nice video document of Jason and his gorgeous date Beth going to and enjoying Coney Island Amusement Park on a beautiful day. The date gets ... read more

Pros: None
Cons: The whole film
Summary: Here is a film that was so eagerly awaited by me that as soon as the DVD hit the shelves, I was there, buying one for myself. My hubby was not so enthusiastic and greeted my purchase with the words "it looks like a load of rubbish". Well not exactly ... read more

Pros: Great effects. Extremely good acting for the situation.
Cons: You have to like Sci-fi and have a great imagination.
Summary: No, its not Godzilla meets the cast of Blair Witch. Do not see this movie if you don't like science fiction. This is a movie that keeps you wondering what is going on. Everytime I watch it, I try and figure out just what is that thing, and how did it ... read more

Pros: A trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is on it.
Cons: That the DVD was actually able to play in my player.
Summary: If you've paid attention around here at all, you'll know that I'm a huge Godzilla fan, going back to the seventies when I was a small kid watching dubbed pan and scan versions on a fuzzy UHF black and white television on Sci-Fi theater. I've seen ... read more

May 07 '08
Pros: Heart racing scenes, plenty of thrills...Good cast and interesting concept
Cons: The effects of that hand held camera work might have been worse in the theater
Summary: I've always been a fan of horror movies and, if they featured a monster of some kind, better yet. So, when I first heard of Cloverfield my interest peaked, not enough to see it in a theater, though I did think of doing so when the movie first ... read more

Pros: Short, interesting monsters.
Cons: Distracting film technique, poor character development, non-existent plot line.
Summary: I had to stop at the store after picking my daughter up from her dad's today and noticed this movie at the checkout. I had looked at it a week or so ago, thought it looked interesting, but opted out due to the $20 price tag. I was more willing to spend ... read more

Apr 30 '08
Pros: None
Cons: Movie taped the whole time, too much movement, quick ending.. Just kinda like "THE END"
Summary: My experience with this movie and this may not seem very polite to others but, I feel it was a bit of a bad version of a previous movie with a different aspect " The Blair Witch Project". I have just seen this movie yesterday and am not really quite ... read more

Apr 26 '08
Pros: Entertaining, Great Graphics, Nice Change in the typical monster movie.
Cons: Can make you feel dizzy, some parts may bring up bad memories of 9/11
Summary: I've always been a fan of monster/ creature type movies like Godzilla, or lesser know films such as Octopus where make believe, or even real creature wreck havoc on human life. So when I went to blockbuster to pick out a movie I decided Cloverfield ... read more

Apr 19 '08
Pros: Exciting and super fast-paced. Makes great use of low budget.
Cons: Opening "introductory" scenes feel padded. Only "okay" performances.
Summary: It’s already a cliché to call CLOVERFIELD the “Blair Witch Meets Godzilla” movie. But that’s about as accurate a snapshot of this film as you could want. The entire experience is seen through the point of view of one guy who starts out by filming his ... read more

Mar 31 '08
Pros: Good acting and excellent special effects
Cons: Some scenes are too far fetched, even for sci-fi!
Summary: I've never seen Godzilla. That must make me a newbee to the world of sci-fi monster movies, but I liked Cloverfield, for the most part. The FBI is investigating a case filed under CLOVERFIELD, name of the area formerly known as Central Park. ... read more

Pros: Good concept for a monster movie.
Good story.
Good acting.
Graphics were pretty good.
Cons: NOT original at all.
Constant movement in the camera made it annoying.
Hud is ANNOYING!
Summary: This one will probably be pretty quick, but I just had to write and say that Sarita and I saw Cloverfield a little while ago and I must admit that while I don’t think it lived up fully to the hype it created, I still found it to be a pretty good ... read more

Jan 26 '08
Pros: Impressive visual effects. Realistic acting & dialogue. Good portrayal of utter panic and helplessness.
Cons: Too much shakiness with the camera. No real concern for the characters.
Summary: Probably like 95% of the people who saw the first snippets of footage of the new J.J. Abrams flick Cloverfield, I was grabbed with interest from the start. Come on, who wouldn't be interested in finding out more about the huge explosion seen in ... read more
