I went home and immediately forgot about Transformers and scoured the Internet for anything on Cloverfield. I loved the film. I honestly think I enjoy it so much is because the film puts me in this world. I start to imagine what the rest of the world is thinking watching this. Are there other attacks? What’s a post-Cloverfield world look like? This film is in my top ten, I think.

I enjoy found footage films. Never understood the hype that was apart of this, but it seemed to be a good way to promote the movie. I’d wish that they showed more of how the monster looked in the movie.
Btw, have you ever seen the movie Enter the void? It is a point of view film, but its about death. The camera work is amazing. Very trippy movie.

Screaming idiots running around in the dark with a wobbly camera where you can not see what is going on.
It’s inane.

No characters to enjoy, you can’t see anything.
Why do people want to watch a movie where you can’t see anything. Does that not negate what a movie is about?

There is only one found footage movie that was even halfway decent and that was the one that started the genre in the first place…

Cannibal Holocaust. (uncut)
A little controversial yes. But at least it had characters and you could SEE what was going on.

And I bet you thought I was going to mention Blair Witch…which was another inane film with screaming idiots that run around in the dark where you can’t see anything.

My advice to people that watch these films.
Save yourself some money and buy a camera yourself, then just run around in the dark with it and scream while recording.
Then play it back. It’s cheaper then going to the movies to watch nothing and you can make as many as you like.

It has a lot of flaws, but it has at least, some great intensity feeling. And if had to pick between US’s Godzilla and Cloverfield, well… sums it up pretty much.
