Cloverfield Movie Review

I finally saw it and was impressed?  I can’t say no and I can’t say yes.  The movie format is like the Blair Witch Project.  It starts as someone (I think the Army) finds a video camera and plays it.  Basically the movie is the video in the video camera.  It starts out with recordings from earlier in the year about a guy and a girl in love.  Showing scenes here and there about their relationship and finally ends with the night of fun.  One of the buddies is using the camera to record his friends going away but all hell breaks loose.  Starts off with the explosion and then the flying liberty head.

  Unfortunately is sometimes hard to watch the camera bouncing all around as the guy runs with it trying to record the happenings of this fine night.  It really shows what happens to this cute little bunch of friends during a monster tragedy in NYC.  Sure a few of them die here and there and lots shooting but there are way to many questions.  I think this movie was made to see how the Sci Fi fans would react.  It definitely needs another movie to see what really happens with the monster and what happens to everyone else.  What is the monster?  That is not answered.  How can I describe it…It looks nothing like any pictures on the web first of all.  It has a giant tail and huge front arms.  I didn’t see any scales and I don’t recall it making any monster noises.  It had a face of puckered alien thingy.  I wish I could see more of it because I want to know!  I think this is part of the hype to crave for more.  They keep talking on the net about it is a confused monster but they don’t show enough about what the monster does.  Where is it heading? Where is it from? What are the dog size parasites falling off it?  What happens to the parasites?  What happens to the monster? What happens to the people? What happens to the city?  What are the strategies of the Armed forces trying to kill it?  This one needs another movie!!!!!! If this is what they intended to do then they have me hooked waiting for the sequel or prequel. 

  My suggestion is go and see it.  Don’t be expecting to see allot of why,when, what and where the monster is be prepared to be entertained with the poor young adults fleeing and trying to save the life of their friends while the mayhem is taking place.

  You got to see it…
