Blair Witch 2 was hilarious, and in two instances kind of scary. The Esrever thing was stupid, though.

The creepiest part of the movie to me was not the MAIN, giant monster, but the small little spider/crab/mantis things instead.
I mean, the giant one was pretty cool, but the whole scene in the medical tent with the people exploding from being bitten (the woman exploding behind the curtain? Awesome.) was intense. The guy in front of me actually jumped and swung his arms in the air at that part. I've never seen that before in a theater. I've seen people jump, but never jump and swing their arms. |

I was reading around on the net and apparently it is actually revealed in the movie how the monster came to be....except you would of had to read a interview with Matt Reeves to understand it...
Spoiler in Black--- In the final scene in the film, (showing Rob and Beth saying they love each other to the camera) They take the camera and pan off toward the ocean. If you watch carefully you can see something fall out of the sky and land in the ocean. Fans were thinking it was the monster landing, but it was revealed to be a satellite. Reeves said in an interview when asked about the origins of the Monster that it was asleep at the bottom of the ocean. People are beliving that it was the satallite that woke the monster. |

great movie.... i wish it was a little more than just the tape, like a military briefing or researcher before the film talking about the incident and playing the film and giving some in depth information after.

I like the idea that they don't go too far into the backstory and the like. They'll probably rectify this with a bad sequel or something (The Cloverfield Manga everyone's talking about would be a good place for some too) Yay! |

The ARG really didn't have much to do with Cloverfield though. I mean it did but at the same time it basically set everything up for a sequel and or prequel dealing with other elements outside of the Cloverfield circle.

I think the best method for a sequel would be to give us a documentary from several years later set within the Cloverfield universe.

Rather have a "Rob Makes Crazy Decisions" action figure. With "Let's Do It The Hard Way" action!

Intense flick, yeah. The monster was awesome. I thought they were going to do like a standard giant lizard type deal, but not at all.

Lord fuck I hated this movie, when I wasn't falling asleep with how boring it was, I was pissed at how stupid it was, even the monster was pretty disappointing, or maybe it was the lack of clear shots of it.
I would rather see The Village again then this worthwhile pile of monster crap. |

Im not going to contest that, but It did not make the movie any better, I just found the monster to be lackluster, the camera was annoying as hell, it had like no plot but running around, and the worst ending ever.
I felt like I paid $10 just to see what the monster looked like. |

It's not even a 90 minute movie. If it got bogged down in plot, it would kill the pacing. I like that there was no explanation for the monster. All the more interesting. All you have to know is it's big, it's mean, it's a force of destruction. This is a popcorn flick, not Atonement or something. Who needs that much plot in a movie like this? |

Sketch of the monster. Most accurate one from what I can tell.

And I don't get the complaints about the ending. I don't think a perfect, happy ending would work. The ending left me wanting more, because you're pretty sure the damned thing is still on the loose.

that would make me think the monster lived and that the characters got away. The fact that the monster was bombed and the last shot you see is of the characters flying off before the camera is dropped to the ground would leave the crowd thinking that way. Ending the movie the way they did showed that the characters were killed off except for the monster. I didnt even know of the thing after the credits and I just assumed from the ending he was still alive anways. Im not saying that your ending is a bad ending...its a great ending if you want to end the movie on a nice high note. But I think the directer was trying to get the people wanting more. |

This movie seems very cathartic. It's the antithesis of the movie formula, and does a lot of things considered "bad." I'm just hoping the movie really has some merit beyond being counter culture.

Everyone who hasnt liked it are the types that watch meet the Spartans. They hate that they dont have any closure or backstory. This movie is not about that. If you can accept it for what it is, it is amazing. |

1) The guy filming just annoyed me with his chitter chatter even when they were in the tunnel running away he was cracking stupid jokes. And walking around the room prior saying to everyone how Rob and the other bird had sex. Just the way he just wouldnt shut up in general. I realise this was in the movie to add to the 'realism' of the whole situation but it just really annoyed me. I was glad when he died at the end 2) How the guy kept filming absolutely EVERYTHING, when at times you just think "mate fuck filming this shit, just get the fuck out of there". which leads me to point 3... 3) How long is the battery in the camera? They start filming around what, say 9pm on the night of the party and it manages to last til about 7am the next morning, being on almost constantly and having used night vision etc. Certainly can last a while lol 4) Why did they fly OVER the city when they were in the helicopter instead of flying AWAY from it? Dunno about you guys but if I was trying to get the fuck away from something I would go the long way if I had to as long as I got the fuck AWAY from it, not hovering over it, lol I did like parts of it though, I did enjoy the realism of it with the hand held camera even though at times it got very annoying and was unnecessary (and my mate started feeling a bit of nausia [sp?]). I also liked how they've left it open to maybe a sequel, possibly using the girlfriends story once she got in the helicopter, or the army guy's story from the ground. |
