This was not very enjoyable at all. It is quite clear that most of the budget must have gone into paying off the press. Talk about overrated garbage...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Oscar goes to the promotions team who created the trailer for this film- parading it as a tense thriller revealing the darker side of the impeccable John Goodman. It's true...something is coming, but it's not an Academy Award. For 90 minutes, this movie is an entertaining psychological thriller and then it seems the producers gave up, leaving the audience with unanswered cliffhangers, explosions...oh, and let's throw in an alien encounter. Bizarre is the only word I can use to describe it. Shame on the makers of this film for being more concerned with selling the story than actually delivering on that promise. I am 100% sure people are being paid to give it good reviews because there's no other logical explanation...unless, of course, an alien spewed poisonous gas to scare them into submission.… Expand

Pointless cheap "wait, wait, wait, then jump out and shout boo" thrills.

Looking up the background of this movie I see why, they took some unrelated movie "The Cellar" and made it into a 'spiritual' sequel to Cloverfield. The original was pretty good because it made the science fiction feel real, but this... 95% hackneyed 'psychopath thriller', 5% C-grade science fiction. I gave it 1 star for Mary Elizabeth Winstead, but now think less of her.

OMG! I just found out this is another JJ Abrams destruction of a previously good franchise.… Expand

The first evidence of this comes from the overtly dramatic music at the most inappropriate times throughout the film. In places where I wanted to feel a sort of suspenseful silence, there were these swashing of overpowering a overt strings that, rather than building suspense, completely took me out of the moment. The culmination of this was in the movies final moments. I yearned for a cliffhanger, or something that was less blaring with her escape, perhaps ending with the view of the helicopter, and the audience not knowing whether it is aliens or humans. But instead it had to make it BLATANTLY OBVIOUS what the MORAL STORY OF THE MOVIE IS by yelling it at the audience's faces. No tact, no subtlety. I had hopes for this film and was hugely disappointed.… Expand

This movie just plain sucked. It is boring and the characters and story line are very shallow and two dimensional. It isn't frightening, tense or thrilling but definitely disturbing in how bad it is.

Don't believe the hype!. A terrible blend of "Alien" (the film) with "Fallout" (the PC game). Starts from a good premise and good cast and acting, but then nothing more. By the middle of the movie the screenplay turns into a hilarious cliché.

To be stuck in a “Room” can be a great “Misery” or a miserable waste of time. It depends on if the characters or conversations are engaging to even peek our interests or make us care about their ultimate escape - as in the perfect Collector. Cloverfield (2) is a loud , boring , 90 minute teaser for Cloverfield (3). John Goodman is way over the top with a surprisingly monotonous performance - while his two ungrateful prisoners are plain dull people with too many regrets for their limited time on earth.
The only lucky one is the man who escaped marriage - “Ben”.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt like I was watching a student film with a big budget. The film was over scored so heavily that it was clear they had no confidence in their technique. Never for a moment is there an ounce of subtext. The set up reminded me of Polanski's first film: Knife in the Water, but without the growing menace, because here it's all on the surface. So much potential to play with trust and mistrust, with the games you need to play to survive, with understanding who is telling the truth, all just kind of tossed out the window for plot points.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Movie about a girl stuck in a bunker with a creepy John Goodman, she escapes, and yes, there's aliens flying around, in case that didn't seem already obvious given the movie's name. I just don't see why this has been getting good reviews, the acting is meh, the story doesn't really go anywhere and reveal anything you didn't already know was coming, and worst of all, there wasn't any point to making or releasing this film. NOBODY, I mean nobody, was asking for a Cloverfield spin-off film.… Expand

This is one of the worst movies I have seen in years. Can't beleive that some people are giving good reviews.

Don't waste your time and money, it is pretty bad. If you really see it, it doesn't make sense, the effects at the end are the worst.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The actors held this predictable film together. Hence a 3. There was only 3, maybe a fourth that didn't count. Predictable because this film was a The Divide rip off, it had ripped its ideas off of the Divide and then it pissed all over the end, with some kind of stupid given away hinted at all throughout, War of the Worlds ending, instead of the hope lost in The Divide, no not superwoman, how freaking predictable. Those Alien rip off, crossed with a house dog, flying in a district 9 drone crappy metal, and teeth, what, that then gets independence day'ed, with some War of the World tentacles was a joke and the gas, what, green crop duster gas, no wonder there was survivors, I mean stupid. Her escape was a joke. That Hazmat suite was a joke go duckie, what a quack. Him flailing about after being melted by acid, with the horrible pounding music from Home Alone to somehow be outside of the exploded bunker was a joke. The tension had built up well prior, credited to the actors. Except the dumb beginning whahaha, gee I wonder if I gets a signal, whahaha. What was that metal scream/squeak every time the door creaked, it was jarring.

But no it was for 12 year old's, I mean what, that was the cert on my sky programming, rendering it immune to the watershed, containing graphic violence, kidnapping, torture, swearing, psychotic behavior. Why was this film for 12 year old's, because every cinema release today is for 12 year old's, it makes even more box office money. Even if this film's content is definitely not for 12 year old's, and it should have ended so much better than its comedy wrecking what little horror its ripped off ride had not.… Expand

It appears the climactic eye-candy and change in the tone in the last few minutes somehow made critics (and some viewers alike) ignore the other 90% of the film? While the initial build-up was solidly structured, the film devolves in the second half into a haphazardly poor attempt at "subverting" expectations ("he's a good guy, no he's a bad guy, yes he's a good guy, uh oh he's a bad guy"). Kudos to the performances though, Winstead and Goodman are indeed amazing to watch and make the film bearable.… Expand
