This movie sucked so bad that my friends will never let me pick a movie again! I want my $9.50 back, but I know I will never get that hour and a half back. I wanted to vomit after the first 10 minutes. Why the hell would I pay for an hour This movie sucked so bad that my friends will never let me pick a movie again! I want my $9.50 back, but I know I will never get that hour and a half back. I wanted to vomit after the first 10 minutes. Why the hell would I pay for an hour and 15 minute movie and then have to watch as the camera is pointed at someones feet? Save your money and donate it or something, you will feel much better than hating yourself for watching this movie.… Expand

Some say this movie did not deserve a 0, claming that the "shaky-camera" is the decisive reason why people give it poor ratings. Thus, I will clarify exactly why this movie should go straight to the top of the Worst Movies of All Time list. Some say this movie did not deserve a 0, claming that the "shaky-camera" is the decisive reason why people give it poor ratings. Thus, I will clarify exactly why this movie should go straight to the top of the Worst Movies of All Time list. For starters, the script was possibly written by a fourth grader; in fact, I might actually appreciate it if it had been. Second, nothing was resolved - at all. Even things that happened were for the most part left in complete obscurity. The Onion said that was the amazing part of the film... let's throw back to basic English plot lessons. There's nothing wrong with leaving things open to interpretation, but the entire movie? Third... there were explosions... big deal. Aside from its few moments, there were times that I actually forgot I was in the theatre because I completely lost interest. Even the first Lord of the Rings, with its endless walking, was more entertaining than the first 30 minutes of Cloverfield. In the end, though, Cloverfield did produce one exciting phenomenon that I had never before seen: people demanding their money back.… Expand

most people in the cinema saw this monstrosity and had absolutely no idea of any storyline, no idea what was happening it's got to the worst pile of junk ever. the best bit of the film was the credits at the end.

Holy freaking crap this movie was so far fetched,stupid and unentertaining we planned this as a nights activity and my dog walked out of the room as we were watching it I mean come on I had so much more fun watching my dog chew on her bone Holy freaking crap this movie was so far fetched,stupid and unentertaining we planned this as a nights activity and my dog walked out of the room as we were watching it I mean come on I had so much more fun watching my dog chew on her bone than looking at the screen it made me sick it should have a label on the cover saying warning this movie will cause you to throw up of motion sickness. And come on a women that was impaled for an hour sprinting down the street and helping someone out of a helicopter crash. It was a waste of my time and a rip of of 4.95 plus merlina or what ever the heck her name was just blowing up out of nowhere. Anyway thanks again cloverfield for providing a movie with so many questions without any answers and the fact that their even thinking about making a sequel thats painful.… Expand

Too bad the knuckleheads behind this 'monstrously' vacuous hack-job weren't smart enough to satirize themselves and their perpetually juvenile, self-absorbed audience.

But, then again, why should they? Clearly, the bubblehead YouTube generation off of whom they feed royally remunerates them at the box office. Too dumb and removed from actual, lived experience to discern the difference between fiction and reality, or between idiot versus ingenious fiction, the majority of the current youth crowd in this country is the most pathetic ever conceived in human history. Talk about gargantuan urban menace -- they're it.… Expand

I can honestly say this is the worse film I ever saw in my life. The camera was so jerky it made me want to puke. The story was so stupid that the script wouldn't even beat a porno movie script. The characters are all so irritating that II can honestly say this is the worse film I ever saw in my life. The camera was so jerky it made me want to puke. The story was so stupid that the script wouldn't even beat a porno movie script. The characters are all so irritating that I wished the monster ate them all in the 1st 30 minutes that way my agony could have ended sooner. Not even worth $1 on the cheap bin. Staring out your window for 2 hours is a better use of your time than watching this movie.… Expand

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

Putain, tout ce film de merde a été boulotté au camescope ! et vas-y que je cours avec, que je bouge dans tous les sens… non seulement au camescope mais en plus par des cons qui ne savent même pas le tenir correctement : c’est à gerber !

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
