Blog No. 2

welcome to blog #2 here i will review a more recent movie:

Blog #2: Cloverfield

So in the category of movies with a slow beginning cloverfield takes the trophy and has the other movies clean it. Wow i found myself waiting for the aliens to attack them all for making me wait. They did a great job on the special effects which would have been more impressive if you could have seen them. But due to the video camera effect it became hard to follow at some points, while at other times it drew you in such as the scene in the subway when the main charecters first encounter the nasty litle bogeys. A bit overdone with the girls head exploding after they were in the quarintine zone. It was a well selected cast for a movie that wasn't put together too well. If you buy the DVD you are better off not watching the alternate endings except that in one of them you see a snippet that shows the main charecter pick up the camera, other than that the ending is the same besides the useless snipet of the tape they recorded this adventure over. The monster is pretty impressive once you finally see him though no one would have really stood still like the camera man did.

My Verdict on Cloverfield: Fail

I must agree and disagree.

Agree about the stupid actors and their stupid stuff.

Other than the stupid actors and their stupid stuff, I think it's a top notch monster movie.

I'd give it a pass.

I've changed my mind.

After watching the Rifftrax of Cloverfield, it kind of put things into perspective of how bad it is.

I'd fail it too.
