Cloverfield Sucked...

[BOOSTED32V]

Worst fucking movie I have ever seen! I want my money and my time back! To those that are going to go and watch it, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME or MONEY! It is not even worth waiting to see on DVD! :mad: :mad: :mad:

[paul_376]

thanks for the heads-up

[Strychnine]

Nice in-depth review!

[MrSS]

what was bad about it, Ive read mostly good reviews on rottentomatoes. I plan on seeing it tonight.

[shlby123]

What is it? Godzilla knock off?

[CJ-95GT]

What is it? Godzilla knock off?

Forensix???

To the O/P, we need more details man.

[BOOSTED32V]

It sucked, if you want to waste your money go ahead. It's probably just as bad as the Blair Witch movie. It's shot from someone holding a fucking camcorder the entire time, it makes you queasy. They only show the monster for a few seconds of the entire movie and when they do the camera is constantly shaking and moving around and the ending makes it look like there should be more, people were actually BOOOOOING when it was over! HAHA! Well it's not funny it sucked! :mad: :mad: :mad: ...'H'

[BOOSTED32V]

What is it? Godzilla knock off?Don't insult ANY Godzilla movie with this trash, even those movies were better than this POS film!

People were actuallly leaving during the begining, the first half hour is nothing but bullshit banter :mad:

[Rafa]

well that sucks...no titties to help out a little either.

[shlby123]

Hey now. No disrespect to the zilla! It just looked like that's what it was leading up to. :o

[jims93lx]

Kinda thought that with all the hype, now I know and knowings half the battle

[silvercobra03]

Well I guess I am not going to see it then thanks for the heads up.

[Preston]

thanks for saving me $18 bucks hope I can return the favor one day.

[Cooter]

never heard of it :shrug:

[BOOSTED32V]

I wish mine was only $18.00, I spent $15.00 on the popcorn, hot dog, drink & candy, my son and I shared, and the matinee price was $13.00, for a grand total of $28.00. I wansn't even entertained for it, hell the Star Trek and Speed Racer trailors were probably more exciting :( ...'H'

[Newbomb]

I thought it was badass. Much more than I expected.

[staticX]

It wasn't that bad, the monster and the noise it makes was pretty bad ass

[Tyrone Biggums]

It was much better than I expected. The shaky camera thing wasn't my bag, but it was tolerable. They left the door wide open for a sequel, or two.

[Sgt Beavis]

How was the StarTrek Trailer?

[injectedpony]

The only thing more I could have wanted out of the movie was, where did the creature come from, how did it get there, and what happened to it at the end.

[injectedpony]

How was the StarTrek Trailer?

Looks like they might start doing "prequels" like with the StarWars movies..... :confused:

[Chuck]

That's what I've been reading from reviews. I'm going to try to see it this weekend sometime.

[Roliath]

Man this is a J.J. Abrams movie, what else did you expect? (to all the people who didn't enjoy it) This movie is fucking bad ass, if you went in thinking it was Godzilla 2008, than of course your gonna be fucking disappointed.

[BlueLT1SS]

i really liked the movie. i thought the shakyness would bother me but it didnt. kinda gave you more of a feel of being there. would definately rock to have a sequal.

oh and startrek trailer was gay. but thats biased cuz i cant stand that shit.

[Phillystang]

The only thing more I could have wanted out of the movie was, where did the creature come from, how did it get there, and what happened to it at the end.

X2, but despite that I enjoyed the different approach that the movie took when it comes to filming.

[MrSS]

Just back from seeing it, I liked it. The camera thing didnt bother me at all

[Roliath]

The only thing more I could have wanted out of the movie was, where did the creature come from, how did it get there, and what happened to it at the end.

Didn't see your post originally, but after the credits are over you can hear 'its still alive' or something like of that nature

[Newbomb]

The only thing more I could have wanted out of the movie was, where did the creature come from, how did it get there, and what happened to it at the end.




I don't understand people who need every minute detail of a story explained to them. That would have detracted from the film, rather than added to it.

[Tyrone Biggums]

That's what I've been reading from reviews. I'm going to try to see it this weekend sometime.

I wish I had more to say about it but it's one of those things you just have to see for yourself. They left a ton of unanswered questions. It was so blunt and chaotic, there was no explanation for what was happening and why. I think that was one of the cool things about it. Humans always have to have an explanation and reason for everything and you don't get one. It's everyday normal life and then BAM, total fucking chaos, run for your lives, every man for himself. The 'wtf' silence in the theater at the end of the movie was kind of refreshing.

[ClockwrkOrangeS4]

here is the movie: (spoiler in white text)

















>>A guy is thrown a going away party, an unexplained 60 story tall monster starts destroying Manhattan, they run, the entire time being filmed by a hand held video camera. <<
That will be $20 please.



I stayed through the credits just to see if J.J. was going to pop up on screen to apologize and issue a $20 gift card.

[BP]

I thought it was good. The first 19 minutes was a little boring but damn that guy had a badass battery in his camera.

As for the worst movie ever, man you really need to watch Pootie Tang.

If you watch closely during the final scene you'll see something fall out of the sky and splash in the water at Coney Island.

[injectedpony]

If you watch closely during the final scene you'll see something fall out of the sky and splash in the water at Coney Island. This was a month before the ending of the movie.

Well son of a bitch....... .. :o

I thought I was seeing things.

[GAP]

I enjoyed the movie becuase it wasn't a typical lame monster movie. We didn't have cliche scientists spewing convenient and unbelievable storyline to how the monster was created or where it came from (pick pretty much any zombie or monster movie). It's a monster, and it came from the water, what else do you NEED to know. And of course it's going to run amok. I'm also glad they didn't invent some ridiculous way to kill it. Like a colgate filled missile, because they discover flouride reacts with the monsters blood and kills it.

The documentary style filming made things appear more realistic, because you're seeing everything from a charactors point of view. Give you a feeling you're immersed in the scenes. The movie was less about the monster and more about them rescuing the chick and trying to flee to safety. I just wish the ending was less abrupt. The movie did not give good closure at all.

Not a really great movie, but definantly kept my interest with all the action. That's my take on the movie.

I saw the matinee Friday morning, then the wife dragged me back that night to a fucking chick flick. Anyhoooo....

I overheard some kids that worked there bitching about all the unanswered questions like what it was and where it came from. None of them saw the object fall from the sky in the last clip. I even told some friends that went tonight to "watch the horizon" in the last scene..it was a good ending and definitely left it wide open for more.

[injectedpony]

"But Director Matt Reeves has stated that if they do a sequel, it might take place during the same monster attack, but seen from another camera."

:cool: I hope that if they do a sequel that he stays true to this statment....

[jlyon]

we just got home from seeing it. i liked it, would have been better if it were filmed like a regular movie

[ClockwrkOrangeS4]

okay... after doing some reading, there is more to this movie than just the theatrical release, like I had hoped. Some of you may know J.J. Abrams work on the tv show 'LOST', which I am a big fan of, and the primary reason I went to see Cloverfield. J.J. likes to put tiny hints and hidden clues in LOST so I was paying close attention to any little things that seemed to catch my eye. I didn't find anything while watching the movie other than a Nokia poster in the subway that had particular words being blocked from view by the characters. Something to the effect of 'call them now'. Was what was displayed.

There are many things I missed apparently:
There's slusho.jp (a Japanimation-heavy site pushing a fake frozen drink), jamieandteddy.com (which hosts personal videos from two of the characters, the password is jllovesth), tagruato.jp (advertising a phony research and deep-sea drilling company) and tidowave.com (an anti-Tagruato Web site created by environmentalists).

A character in the show 'Heroes' is actually seen holding a Slusho drink in the show.

Some of the characters in the movie even have myspace pages.


All of this makes me feel a little better about the film, but it still doesn't make the movie any better for me, and it kinda disappoints me to think this is a movie that needs sequential movies to be good.

[jlyon]

jamieandteddy.com (which hosts personal videos from two of the characters, the password is jllovesth),


ok, wtf was that she ate? what happened to the guy she was sending that stuff too?

[ClockwrkOrangeS4]

I have no idea, I think that's what they leave the door open to in the movie.



Do you follow 'LOST'? They are on season 4 and still have yet to answer some questions brought up in the first season.

[jlyon]

i don't follow Lost. i enjoyed the movie though. i will need to see it again so i can look for things i missed.

my wife an i talked about it on the way home last night, and we have questions that werent' answered

[idrivea4banger]

what havent they answered??? ive been watching lost since day one. im pretty sure only one question hasnt been answered.

[ALLAN]

I still want to see it. :D

[VETTKLR]

Dammit, I just watched the last part again and all I see is what appears to be just waves, to the left of the boat.

No streak from the sky or anything...just a little bit of whitecapping water. I'm going with the theory that they created Cloverfield from around the area of that drilling rig and whatever special ingredient that slusho shit has in it. :D

[TRAXX]

I liked it personally. You didn’t get to see a clear picture of the creature AND ending was disappointing ON PURPOSE. They are leaving room for a sequel.

I can't believe nobody mentioned this. At the begining of the movie they feel what appears to be an Earthquake, when they go out on the balcony, you see the big explosion, that must have been when the creatures ship crash landed on manhatten island, eh...it still sucked and most of America agree's since it opened with a lot of hype, then premature ejaculated.

BTW wheres idrive4queers defending this bullshit movie now? :rolleyes:

[exlude]

Lol, the creature is theorized to come from the ocean...not a ship.

The movie was great, imo. It's not going to jive with a bunch of the bonehead, episodic type though.

[BOOSTED32V]

I find your theory full of holes, where did anyone say it came from the ocean? They feel an earthquake (could be something falling from space causing a sonic boom) and then when they go out to the balcony they see the explosion? What exploded, then they run outside (downstairs) and they see the statue of liberties head come crashing through the street. So maybe it crash landed, then it jumped into the ocean, saw Ms. Liberty, got pissed and knocked its head off....STILL SUCKED! Oh and you are the minority :rolleyes: lol!...'H'

[mattv]

oh hell dont get me started on that shitty ass movie... so bad got up at the end bitched out the mgr and got free movie passes :)

I'm sure you do, but just do some reading on it and fix yourself. It doesn't make much sense that a completely organic creature, without a single ounce of technology, flew here on a intergalactic space ship. lmao

If you watched closely, and followed the previews, you would know a couple things. That night of the party was not the first appearance of the monster. Before then, it had attacked and sunken an oil rigger...but that was written off as a freak natural disaster. And even before that (if you watch the coney island footage of Rob and Beth) you can get a glimps of a supposed "baby" monster splashing the water. This was also alluded to by the film's director.

And I may be in the minority of this thread, but across the nation...you are. :rolleyes: Like I said, this movie really grates with the episodic boars who cannot enjoy anything without resolve.

[mattv]

I talked about this. now if they havea sequel talking about what the monster is, if and when it gets killed, where it came from, what its doing, you know all the shit i was looking for from the movie it will be ok. No plot, really no story except for the 5 retards in the movie - one who shoulda died a long time ago and only a story that builds up the characters later to kill them. OH and the first 30 minutes or so of the movie when its a fucking going away party LAME! And im sorry, if a girl i "LOVED" was out there and that huge ass monster wasn't dying, like hell im going out to find her having NO IDEA where she is. she coulda gotten ate for all you know. I dont care if i spoiled it or not IT SUCKED !!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

when they make the movie seem like a horror film or action/sci-fi film and it becomes a documentary type film filled with motion sickness to many who watch it, THEN it becomes a problem, not because there is no resolve. Ive seen plenty of good movies without resolve that had a PLOT, a believable story of sort and where the characters weren't IDIOTS. no wonder why there wasn't a big name in the movie. They probably read the script and said "this is career suicide". :rolleyes:

[BOOSTED32V]

Came out on DVD today. Picked it up and caught all the little bits I missed in the theater. Really had to look(we actually had to slow-mo)for the crash into the ocean at the very end. Still couldn't really understand what was said after the credits even with the volume turned all the way up. Solid flick, I stand by my original assesment.

How was it his fault the movie was bad? Jesus fucking christ, some people. :rolleyes:

This movie rocked your fucking face.

Let's see - good acting, an ORIGINAL storyline (when was the last time we saw one of those?), nonstop action, guns bombs and aircraft fighting a 300-foot monster from space, interesting first-person perspective, and a chick that bleeds from her eyes and then explodes.

Sorry Henry - I'm not sure why you didn't like it, but there is something wrong with you.

so i watched this last night. it didnt suck, hell it was pretty good and fun to watch. it was simply an action packed thriller no more no less. the idea of the first person camcorder works ok and isnt nearly as bad as blair witch.

This movie could easily be another Godzilla remake. The acting was average, the storyline was boring and predictable, the constant screaming and yelling of the characters names was completely annoying, not to mention the Blair Witch (which also sucked) camera shaking and perspective.

J.J. Abrams still owes me $18.

I purposely avoided any mention of the movie before it came out, I didn't want to be influenced by anyone else's opinion before seeing it for myself.


The real issue here is that everyone saying that it was original needs to know that the director himself said that it is basically a remake of Godzilla (for Americans).

Hmmm.. well, I'll be sure to speak eloquently in low tones the next time a monster rampages my city so I don't annoy you, Tim.

That's cool. Just know that the movie that you think is so original is actually a remake that has been remade several times already. ;)
