Un moyen regrettable et un cache-misère ballot qui tente de couvrir les effets spéciaux qui font pitié et l’absence de toute histoire digne de ce nom. Quant aux kévins et kévinas qui jouent dans ce truc-là, on aimerait qu’ils rentrent rapidement et sagement dans leur sitcom habituelle de merde et leurs pubs pour déodorants parce que franchement, ils puent de la gueule et ils sont trop cons, ces cons-là !… Expand

Os personagens são terríveis; a ligação entre eles mal existe; o plot é fraco e não dá a motivação necessária para o filme; o romance entre o casal não cola e toda a tentativa da edição de fazer-nos engolir aquilo é no minimo triste; os efeitos especiais não são bons o suficiente para carregar a trama; toda imersão, que a câmera na mão devia causar, não existe; os diálogos são ruins e nem um pouco reais, junto com a reação de cada personagem; os deus ex machina aqui rola solto e nada, absolutamente nada, nos dá um motivo bom pra continuarmos assistindo. Na realidade, porque de tanta gente interessante naquela cidade, o roteiro escolheu justamente eles para que nós os acompanhemos. O que há de especial neles?!

Nauseating, literally. I had to take anti-nausea medication after watching this movie and had to sit up in bed for half an hour. It was fun but I hate these films that use the shaky camera technique.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Eighty-four minutes of time I will never get back. Absolutely detested it. There is no plot, directing nor acting to speak of. The characters are plasticy and generic pretty things that one cares not one bit about. They're mostly capable of such clever lines as 'oh my god, oh my god!' etc. leaving me rooting for the monster. And as if that was not enough, the camera work is supposedly pov-video throughout. It is so shaky that it left me feeling sick, funnily enough not due to motion sickness rather than just plain awfulness and complete lack of aesthetic. We are naturally supposed to believe these dimwits will hang onto a video cam and obsess about filming throughout the whole ordeal, whilst they run fir their lives and people around them get killed in various ways. This flick was criminally bad. And not even in a good, unintentional and camp way. Steer clear of this pile unless you are of the obsessing net footage generation. Yuck!… Expand

lack of empathy for the characters, lame plot and a failure to make the viewer suspend their disbelief amounts to a pretty poor film. Concept is good but falls short by a long way.

It's all here: the giant Godzilla-like monster rampaging through skyscrapers; human-sized aliens straight from Starship Troopers; cliched subway tunnel scenes; you name it. Fortunately for the producers, they had a clever marketing team which managed to exploit both the post-9/11 paranoia and various viral marketing strategies.… Expand

Another pathetic Fuck You NYC from LA. I actually enjoy that genre as a rule. But this one goes below the belt - which would be OK if it was intended to be nasty. But this is just lazy. I love a good monster and have always enjoyed watching Another pathetic Fuck You NYC from LA. I actually enjoy that genre as a rule. But this one goes below the belt - which would be OK if it was intended to be nasty. But this is just lazy. I love a good monster and have always enjoyed watching pretty people get dispatched one by one (or two or three). But this movie is worse than bad. It is just as calculated and insulting as those jackass color panic codes or the 2002 convention in nyc. The movie simply lifts images from 9/11for popcorn entertainment, either to be faux edgy (eg LA edgy) or more likely because the directors couldn't actually come up with something original. I don't have a problem with movies dealing with 9/11 or using images that resonate from that day. But it has to have some meaning beyond cheap jollies. I can't say i am shocked, given the fact that we now seem to think it's ok to watch footage of fatal crashes - with even National Geographic whoring itself out to make a buck off of bloodlust. But I am irritated at myself for actually sitting through this movie. I'm also a little saddened by the fact that none of the other people posting on this page seem to have been bothered in the least by this exploitation of real people's suffering.… Expand

*Some spoilers... but trust me, you aren't missing much* "Cloverfield" offers no more than its amazing trailer - no more thrills, no more clarification, no more... well, anything. Except the face of the monster, which, because of the *Some spoilers... but trust me, you aren't missing much* "Cloverfield" offers no more than its amazing trailer - no more thrills, no more clarification, no more... well, anything. Except the face of the monster, which, because of the camerawork, isn't clear. What begins as a story that seems decidedly human quickly devolves into cliches (the lost love, the frantic search for lost love, the panicky, bewildered looks of those in danger, the poor decision making skills of self-appointed leaders) that become more tiresome when you realize that The Camera Is Still Rolling; that is, the poor sap who's following his friends around during a rampage is still holding a camera. (This plot hole is remedied in one dumbshit line: "The world will need to know what happened!" or something equally asinine). Drop it and run, pal. Speaking of the camerawork, the POV is interesting for the first twenty minutes, but becomes tedious as the plot and "near escapes" become progressively more preposterous. The principal characters survive multiple attacks: one seems to be impaled (but lives), three are in a helicopter crash - and survive!, and two watch a friend devoured alive... but the monster leaves them alone. All this would be made palpable if the acting was clever, witty, or pulled more than just Acting 101 grab-bag crap, but it doesn't. From the cameraman's incessant "What's going on?! Where's Rob going?!" to the farewells before the ending (which are hilariously awful, cherry-picking from The Blair Witch Project), the actors' "spontaneity" is never fully convincing. This film was a huge letdown.… Expand

I was never so disappointed in a show in my life. To be quite honest it sucked Whale Dung at the bottom of the ocean. I can not believe the insatiable stupidity of the so called directors and producers of this junk, by filming the whole show through a cell phone. Give me a break. Not to mention the screen play writing. It reminded me of a dog in the yard chasing its tail, started no where, getting no where, and going no where. This is painfully obvious with the main actor and his limited lines of "Bob, Bob, Bob." One other thing to add for this waste of time of a so called movie, if you have any form of Epilepsy as I do, please do not even begin to watch it, as from the insatiable stupidity of the so called directors and the constant bouncing around of the film is subject to set off a seizure.

The premise of the camcorder being found in what was ONCE known as Central Park led me to an int eresting conclusion that throughly destroys the intended plot. The military referred to what was called Operating Hammerdown. I can only surmise that this involved some VERY SERIOUS weaponry. Perhaps a small yield nuclear warhead was used. The fact that area was ONCE KNOWN as Central Park lets me know that the area was completely and utterly devasted!. If this were the case then someone PLEASE tell me HOW in the world did the Camcorder survive? High-yield fuel air explosive weapons would have melted the thing and a nuclear explosion would have vaporized it. The premise of a camcorder surving wih perfect picture and sound recordings is absurd. Before you go and say that it was restored then why are there no gaps in continuity? Surely some of the action would have been irretrievable. NUFF SAID!… Expand

It was the most ridiculously pointless, awful film I have ever seen with an even worse ending than I Am Legend. I only sat through the pointless and confusing introduction without walking out because I wanted to see the monster. The rest of the story is absolutely ridiculous. There are so many unbelievable ridiculous things like a person surviving being impaled through the chest on a piece of rebar and then a helicopter crash without even a broken bone or life threatening bleeding. The main attraction to seeing the film was at least for me curiosity as to what the monster looks like so take my advice and just find a picture on the internet and save your money for something worth watching. Also if you see it at the cinema, the shaky camera will make you feel sick but the film will bore you to death before that ever happens.… Expand
